Ninja Small-Weapons Seminar Series
Traditional Weapons. Everyday Objects.
Transferable Warrior-Protector Skills.
Live at the Dojo + Virtual Attendance
What if weapons training wasn't about memorizing a list of "official" weapons—but learning to recognize the useful characteristics and possibilities hidden in everyday objects around you - items you could grab and use quickly and effectively to protect yourself or someone else?
This special 4-part Ninja Small-Weapons Seminar Series uses traditional Ninjutsu weapons as training models for developing skills that can transfer far beyond the weapon itself and across many different everyday items you can use for effective self-protection.
Over the course of this special training series, you'll be learning to use:
Kusari-Fundo — flexible and weighted tools — Sun. Aug 30th, Noon - 5pm ET
Tanto — small edged and pointed tools — Sat. Sep 19th, Noon - 5pm ET
Shuriken — small handheld and thrown objects — Sat. Nov 14th, Noon - 5pm ET
Hanbo — short sticks and other rigid tools — Sat. Dec 12th, Noon - 5pm ET

Can't Make Every Date? You're Still Covered.
Each seminar will be recorded. Full-Series members receive the lessons from all four seminars even if work, travel, family commitments, or a schedule change prevents them from attending one live.
Along the way, you'll learn to look beyond the historical weapon to recognize how familiar objects—belts and straps, everyday cutting tools, coins and cards, canes and other rigid objects—share common, useful characteristics and principles.
The goal isn't simply to learn more weapons. It's to become better at recognizing possibilities and becoming more capable... faster.
Make the commitment now. Reserve all four training dates and work through the complete Small-Weapons progression with us.
First Up: Kusari-Fundo
Weighted-Chain Weapon
Sunday, August 30 | Noon–5:00 PM Eastern
WHERE: Warrior Concepts Academy - Sunbury, PA.
Discover how this distinctive weighted, flexible weapon enhances your ability to manage ever-changing distance, movement and momentum while also allowing for striking, wrapping, entangling, controlling, and transitional applications against a committed real-world attacker who may be armed himself.
We'll also study how the principles learned through Kusari-Fundo training can change the way you look at flexible objects already present in the modern Warrior-Protector's environment - everyday items that can be quickly and easily pressed into service in your defense or yourself and others.

The Hidden Lessons of the Katana
Annual Fall Warrior-Protector Intensive
October 16th - 18th, 2026
For centuries, the Japanese sword has been far more than a weapon—it has been a teacher.
During this year's Warrior Concepts Fall Warrior-Protector Intensive, we'll use the katana as a lens to uncover timeless principles that sharpen every aspect of martial arts and self-protection. Whether training empty-handed, with traditional weapons, or navigating modern conflict, you'll discover lessons in distance, initiative, precision, commitment, adaptability, and strategic thinking that extend far beyond the blade itself.
This is not a sword seminar. What is it then?
It's an exploration of the principles hidden within sword training—beneath the techniques—principles that can transform the way you train, think, and respond under pressure... where it counts... across practically all of your skill sets!
Join us live at our Academy in east-central Pennsylvania or attend virtually from anywhere in the world.
Tuition: $350 ($295 Virtual)
Early Registration: $295 full weekend ($245 Virtual) Until Sep. 15th
Includes lifetime access to the complete event recordings—The Complete Intensive Study Archive—whether you attend live or online. ($295 value)

Wellness & the Martial Arts
1-Day Ninjutsu Seminar
"Wisdom from the Ancient & Modern Ninja"
w/ Dai-Shihan Jeffrey Miller
WHEN: September 20th, 2025 | 9am - 5pm
Location: Le Moyne College | Syracuse, NY. USA
Student Rec Center
Many people think of a ninja as an assassin, some sort of mystical wizard, or even a teen-age mutant ninja turtle. However, the Japanese character for “ninja” suggests that a ninja is a person who has cultivated an enduring heart. With the problems of today, we all need more of this 'commitment to not quitting!'
While the path to cultivating an enduring heart can take a lifetime, we invite you to walk the path for a day. Then, you can decide how you want to walk your own path, to live a healthier and happier life.
Join Dai-Shihan Miller, one of the longest-training Ninjutsu master-teachers in the Western-world, and a direct student of Soke Masaaki Hatsumi - 34th generation headmaster of one of the last surviving linages of authentic Ninjutsu today - for a day of training in the self-protection skills, sword techniques, and survival mindsets of the mystical Ninja - ancient shadow warrior's of Japan.
Training Topics and What You'll Gain:
- Ninpo-Taijutsu: The Ninja's unarmed self-protection skills. Improve your ability to not just defend yourself, but control a violent situation with more confidence, power, and ease.
- Ninja no Ken: Explore the realm of the ancient Shadow Warrior's use of the sword - one of the most mystical and awe-inspiring weapons in any warrior's arsenal!
- Zanshin, Heijoshin & Fudoshin - "Mindfulness" beyond merely 'paying attention.' Through explanation and self-defense technique work, you'll come away from this training with a far greater understanding of these aspects of mindful awareness, both in how they serve to increase your abilities and effectiveness in a life-threatening self-defense situation, but also in allowing you to produce results and handle challenges with better focus, clarity, and less stress.
Reserve your place NOW and train with one of the most experienced Ninjutsu & Bujinkan-Taijutsu instructors in the world!
Cost: $75 for the full, live training experience
