JUJUTSU & CHANBARA CUP, Vrsac 2007


On December 1st 2007 Serbian Budo Council (SBC) held its Serbian Open Jujutsu Cup and Serbian Sports Chanbara Cup. This joint even was hosted by GOSHINKAN club from Vrsac, headed by Miss. Adrijana Barshi. There were 130 competitors in Jujutsu (fights and kata) and 60 competitors in chanbara, many participating in both sports. A total of nearly 150 contestants were on the lineup in the "Millennium" center. Aside from SBC clubs from Vrsac, Pozarevac, Petrovac, Sabac, Belgrade, Smederevo and Vlaski Do, SBC had guests from Academy of Martial Arts from Brcko District in Bosnia & Hercegovina, headed by Bosko Vidovic sensei.

 

Competition was well organized and the competitors showed great sportsmanship and quality of technique. The best in all categories were presented with medals and diplomas. Once more the Sport Jujutsu Association of Serbia within SBC proved its leading role in Serbian Sport Jujutsu.

 

There were several promotions within the system of SHINBUDO (combined Chanbara/Sport Kenjutsu with Jujutsu Mix Kumite and Jujutsu Kata): Black belts were given to Adrijana Barshi, Igor Kesic, Srdjan Spasic and Vladan Stevic. On the same occasion, after previous exams, DAN grades in jujutsu and chanbara were given to Aleksandar Stojkovic (1st DAN Jujutsu), Goran Lazic (1st Dan Chanbara), Dejan Lazic (1st DAN Chanbara), Sasa Kanlic (2nd DAN Jujutsu), Nikola Dimitrijevic (2nd DAN Jujutsu) and Vladan Stevic (2nd DAN Jujutsu).

 

After the end of a long competitive day, all participants (accompanied by several other clubs from judo, taekwondo, aikijujutsu etc.) gave a "Martial Arts Night" presentation for near two hundreds spectators. National TV and local media covered the whole event.

 

Before leaving Vrsac, all coaches, competitors and referees were hosted on a farewell party sponsored by GOSHINKAN and Adrijana Barsi.

 

After all seen in Vrsac, we are now absolutely sure that Serbian Sports Chanbara Association has full capability of hosting European Sports Chanbara Championship 2010, in a splendid "MILLENNIUM" center in Vrsac.

Dana 1. decembra 2007. godine Budo Savet Srbije (BSS) odrzao je svoj redovni Jujutsu Kup Srbije i Chanbara Kup Srbije. Domacin takmicenja bila je gospodjica Adijana Barsi sa svojim klubom GOSHINKAN. U Jujutsu borbama i katama ucestvovalo je oko 130 tamicara, u Chanbari oko 60 tamicara, pri cemu su mnogi ucestvovali na oba takmicenja. Na postrojavanju u "Milenijum" centru naslo se oko 150 takmicara. Pored BSS klubova i sekcija iz Vrsca, Pozarevca, Petrovca, Sapca, Beograda, Smedereva i Vlaskog Dola, BSS je ugostio i prijatelje iz Brcko Distrikta (BIH), clanove Academy of Martial Arts, koju predvodi sensei Bosko Vidovic.

 

Takmicenje je bilo dobro organizovano, takmicari su pokazali odlican sportski duh i kvalitetne tehnike. Najboljima u svim kategorijama urucene su medalje i diplome. Sportska Jujutsu Asocijacija koja deluje u okviru BSS jos jednom je potvrdila svoju vodecu ulogu u srpskom jujutsu sportu.

 

Izvedeno je i nekoliko promocija u okviru SHINBUDO sistema (kombinovano treniranje chanbare/sport kenjutsu, jujutsu Mix kumitea i jujutsu kata). Crne pojaseve su dobili Adrijana Barsi, Igor Kesic, Srdjan Spasic i Vladan Stevic. Posle prethodnih ispita, dodeljeni su i DAN rangovi u jujutsu-u i chanbari: Aleksandar Stojkovic (1. DAN Jujutsu), Goran Lazic (1. Dan Chanbara), Dejan Lazic (1. DAN Chanbara), Sasa Kanlic (2. DAN Jujutsu), Nikola Dimitrijevic (2. DAN Jujutsu) i Vladan Stevic (2. DAN Jujutsu).

 

Na zavrsetku dugog takmicarskog dana, svi ucesnici, praceni i klubovima iz vestina judo, aikijujutsu, taekwondo itd, izveli su demonstraciono "Vece borilackih vestina" za oko dve stotine posmatraca u sali. Ceo dogadjaj snimala je nacionalna televizija, kao i lokalni mediji.

 

Pre odlaska iz Vrsca, svi takmicari, treneri i sudije ugosceni su na koktelu koji je sponzorisao GOSHINKAN klub predvodjen Adrijanom Barsi.

 

Posle svega, potpuno smo sigurni u organizacione sposobnosti Sportske Chanbara Asocijacije Srbije, koja se nada da u sjajnom "Milenijum" centru u Vrscu ugosti 2010. godine Evropski Sampionat u Sport Chanbari.
