The only non-Japanese shihan for Daito ryu Aikijujutsu, Antonino Certa,
held a seminar this weekend for the students of Daito ryu Macedonia –
Koryu Dojo.

The event was supported by the Organization for
teaching Japanese martial arts „Taiyou e no Michi“, and a total of nine
of its members participated.

As always, sensei Certa selflessly
shared his knowledge getting into the tiniest details of the katas of
Nikkajo. The participants trained hard all the time and didn`t save
themselves even for a moment.

During the seminar, shihan Certa
officially awarded the diploma for shodan and license for shibu cho to
his representative for Macedonia, Igor Dovezenski.

At the end, we
would like to express a great thanks to our teacher Antonino Certa and
to wish him a good health. We’ll see each other again next year in
Macedonia.

On the slopes of the legendary mountain Lipac, this
weekend the seminar that we organize every year in honor of our teacher
for Daito ryu Aikibudo, shihan Antonino Certa, was held.

On
this event 12 members of the School for martial arts Taiyou e no Michi
participated, who restlessly practiced the techniques of the Japanese
traditional martial school Ono ha Itto ryu (Takeda den) during the two
days.

On Saturday, six hours, and on Sunday in total of five
hours were trained. If you add the climbing on the mountain during the
two days, then you can freely say that we maintain our combat readiness
and condition successfully.

Unlike the previous years, when we
slept under the open sky, this year we were situated in the quarters of
the beautiful monastery „St. George“.
Apart from the hard training
and the enjoyment in the beautiful and untouched nature of Lipac,
inevitable were the beans in kettle which are always prepared for the
Saturday’s dinner.

After the seminar finished, the host of the
monastery offered every year to open the quarters to us for sleepover,
and that offer we gladly accepted with a goal to attract the younger
members who are not yet accustomed to sleep under the open sky to attend
this event.

In the end, all of the participants immediately
announced their attendance the next year, which only speaks for the
quality training and the beauty of this simple martial school which
allures with its simplicity and efficiency.

By decree of my Daito ryu Aikibudo teacher,
Shihan Antonino Certa, I (Igor Dovezenski, Shidoin) am authorized to
represent the European Daito Kai organization in the region of
southeastern Europe (ie. the Balkan countries).

I call for
everyone interested who would like to take the responsibility of
spreading the Daito ryu Aikijujutsu and Ono ha Itto ryu Kenjutsu (Takeda
den) arts in their country, to contact me via my email: daito_macedonia@yahoo.com.

Prioritized are the leaders of clubs that are my personal friends and
have friendly relations with Bujinkan Macedonia. People who are
considered diploma hunters and would prefer overnight success without
hard training, I would ask not to contact me.

The European
Daito Kai has been founded by Antonino Certa at the request of his
teacher Kato Shigemitsu Soshi with the goal of spreading the Daito ryu
Aikijujutsu through the European countries in the same manner they were
taught ages back in the Aizu clan.

Sensei Certa is the only
non-Japanese in the world to earn the title of Shihan, directly from the
Daitokan dojo in the city of Abashiri. He was first accepted as a
student to the last Soke Tokimune Takeda and after his death, he started
training with Kato Shigemitsu Sensei.

This is a great
opportunity to become a part of the history of one of the oldest
Japanese martial arts, also known as the mother of Aikido. Be the one
that will be responsible for organizing the Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu school
in your country and a representative of the European Daito Kai.
