🇬🇧Last month, Shintenkan Dojo was honoured to represent Bosnia at the annual Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu International Seminar in Malta for the forth consecutive year. Training in Malta's climate was certainly a new challenge, but sensei's lessons were eye-opening as always. Our heartfelt thanks to our headmaster, Kajiya Takenori Sensei, our gracious host, Robert Scicluna , and everyone else who participated. We hope to see all of you next year in Bosnia, when we will have the honour of hosting this event!

🇧🇦Prošlog mjeseca, Shintenkan Dojo je imao čast da po četvrti put zaredom predstavlja Bosnu na godišnjem međunarodnom seminaru Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu, na Malti. Trening u malteškoj klimi svakako je bio novi izazov, ali su senseijeve lekcije, kao i uvijek, bile pravo otkriće. Naša iskrena zahvalnost našem velemajstoru, Kajiya Takenori senseiju, našem velikodušnom domaćinu Robertu Scicluni, kao i svima koji su učestvovali. Nadamo se da ćemo vas sve vidjeti sljedeće godine u Bosni, kada ćemo mi imati čast da budemo domaćini ovog događaja!

1. Reigando Pećina - Mjesto gdje je Musashi-sensei započeo pisanje Knjige Pet Prstenova. Neupitno je da ovo mjesto ima posebnu energiju, tako da pored treninga borilačkih vještina koji smo odradili, učitelj je bio dovoljno velikodušan da nam dadne vrijeme za meditaciju na ovoj legendarnoj lokaciji.

2. Musashi-Zuka Park - lokacija finalnog mjesta počivanja osnivača naše škole, Musashi-sensei-a. Također smo posjetili i mjesta gdje počivaju neki drugi od prošlih velemajstora naše škole.

Shintenkan Dojo želi da se zahvali Njegovoj Ekselenciji, ambasadoru Kinefuchi Masamiju, na dvije godine prijateljstva i saradnje s Bosnom i Hercegovinom uopšte, a posebno s našim dođom. Želimo mu sve najbolje i radujemo se nastavku partnerstva s ambasadom Japana.
Prije odlaska Njegove Ekselencije, organizovana je prelijepa proslava u čast prijateljstva između naših zemalja, koja je uključivala pripremu mochija, kao i demonstraciju (a za one hrabrije, i kratki kurs!) pripreme sušija od strane profesionalnog japanskog kuhara.
Također, na proslavi je bila prisutna i Miyanoya-sensei, učiteljica japanskog jezika koja je podučavala dvije generacije članova Shintenkan Dojo-a. Želimo iskoristiti ovu priliku da i njoj zahvalimo na njenom predanom radu tokom svih ovih godina.

Shintenkan Dojo would like to thank His Excellency, Ambassador Kinefuchi Masami for two years of friendship and cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina in general, and our dojo in particular. We wish him all the best and look forward to our continuous partnership with the Japanese embassy.

Before His Excellency left, he organised
a beautiful celebration in honour of friendship between our two countries which included pounding mochi, as well as a showcase (and for those more bold, a quick course!) in sushi preparation by a professional Japanese chef.
Additionally, present at the celebration was Miyanoya-sensei, a Japanese teacher to two generation of Shintenkan Dojo members. We would like to use this opportunity to thank her too for her hard work over the years.
