Corporate Workplace Violence Plan - Will Yours Fail When You Need it Most? The problem with most workplace violence plans is something that is often invisible to most managers responsible for the development of these policies. And yet, this missing piece could actually leave you and your company holding the proverbial bag, liability-wise, should the unthinkable happen to, or by, one of your employees. Using the Kubotan Self-Defense Keychain as a Model for Using Everyday Items to Protect Yourself One of the key elements that separates the Ninja's self-protection methods, including the study of weapons like the Kubotan self-defense keychain, from many other approaches to self-defense training is the concept of "strategic thinking." And one of the ways that this important mindset manifests is through the ability to see through the "form" to what's really going on. 7 Really Good Reasons You Need to Learn to Use the Kubotan Self-Defense Keychain Ironically, in a world filled with terrorism, assault, rape, and murder, I have to write an article giving people reasons why they should be learning self-defense or the Kubotan personal-protection weapon.

In fact... Women's Self-Defense - Why Most Programs Are Wrong Women's self defense issues are constantly in the news and a 'hot' topic for conversations. In fact, the number one concern from women, especially single women in the dating world, is rape. The truth is though, that many of the same techniques and tactics taught to men for self-protection simply will not work for a woman. Why?... Nana Korobi Ya Oki - '7 Times Down 8 Times Up': Success Secrets from the Martial Art of Ninjutsu On the left lapel of every adult student here at Warrior Concepts, there is a patch bearing the Japanese kanji character 'NIN.' Although the kanji itself has two pronunciations in Japanese, it is the original Chinese meaning of "perseverance," "to endure," or "to put up with" that we... Leadership: The Cornerstone of Success in the Martial Arts and In Life Leadership is one of the most talked about and least understood aspects of human behavior. There must be hundreds of definitions of leadership, yet none of them is useful for success in life because none of them allows you to 'create' leadership within your life. Personal Development & Success - "Creating the Motivation You Need" One of the most common beliefs that can prevent someone from achieving the success being sought is that "action only happens through motivation" - that, one must wait around for the so-called "feeling to move me" before anything will be accomplished. But, once we understand how we operate, once we discover the secret... Ninjutsu - The Ninja's Mikkyo Mind-Science and the Magic of Asking "Why?" In the philosophical teachings of the Ninja's Mikkyo mind-science that forms the foundation for our Warrior Concepts Life Mastery Program, there are three areas of focus that allow the Ninja Warrior to always achieve his or her goals. Failure is Not an Option! - "Attitude" and the Keys to Martial Arts Mastery, Key #7 One of the most important traits of any successful person is an attitude of total commitment and passion for what it is that they are doing. They see their goal; they devise a plan for reaching it; and, the set about doing what is necessary to attain that goal. ENGAGEMENT: Recognizing the Value of Training - The Keys to Martial Arts Mastery, Key #6 Remember when you first started training? Can you remember what brought you to the program? What was going on in your life at the time. What is it that the martial arts gives you or helps you with that keeps you coming to class? And, more importantly..."how do you know it's working in your life?" DESHI-IRI - 'Becoming a Student of an authentic Ninpo Warrior Martial Arts Teacher' Unlike the conventional view of beginning martial arts training today, in the past there was an actual "method for becoming a student" under an authentic warrior arts teacher. This method was known as Deshi-iri... Self-Defense - Choosing to be a Survivor Instead of a Victim We've all seen the news stories. They fill a good portion of the evening news and the daily papers - both online and in print. Dating, working, on vacation - no life situation seems to be safe from the possibility of attack. Have you ever wondered... What if the victims in many of these stories had properly prepared themselves for... DECISIVENESS: - Single-Minded Commitment to Greatness - The Keys to Martial Arts Life Mastery #5 I remember talking to one of my teachers once about the traits of a master leader. 'The' trait that lay at the center, or formed the foundation for all of these others was: "Decisiveness" - 'the simple ability to make a decision.' In the Ninja Warrior's Martial Art of Ninjutsu - Practice Makes Perfect In the ninja's martial arts, just as with everything else in life, experience brings many benefits. The more a person does something, the greater the level of confidence, understanding, and proficiency they will have... Desire to Begin Martial Arts Training - What's Stopping You? Everyday, hundreds and perhaps thousands of men and women think about taking martial arts lessons. The vast majority are, more-often-than not, trapped in this "thinking about it" stage and will never take that next, most important step to making it happen. And, it's sad really. While the reasons vary as to why each person wants to involve themselves... Emotion-Based Defensive Response - A Non-Traditional Martial Arts Approach to Self-Defense When discussing self-defense training, we really need to be discussing more than just learning some tricks and techniques for dodging punches or escaping locks and holds. Why then, are most instructors content with stopping at, and most students satisfied with learning, self-defense in a vaccuum?

While both may look the same on a physical, combative level, the reason that each participant is there is very different. As a general rule, a fight is a contest involving two or more... Martial Arts Training for Real Self-Defense: Making Sense of Chaos I once had a talk with a student who pointed out the almost insane notion that anyone could think that they could use a preset string of moves (known as a kata, pronounced kah-tah) to handle something as chaotic as a fight. Martial Arts for Children - A Note to Parents About Motivation Problems and Child Development Often parents of children in martial arts, or other educational activities, experience resistence from their child that may appear as though the child doesn't want to do it anymore. The parent's frustration turns to confusion as the child's resistence turns to excitement when they're actual in class. Why is this?

The Karate-Myth: Why Most Martial Arts and Self-Defense Programs Are Wrong You know, when I first started learning how to protect myself through the martial arts, the training was almost entirely focused on the memorization and performance of the technique...But, that performance was tied more to duplicating a string of "moves" than it was on...the successful resolution of the situation Self-Defense Within Martial Arts Training Demands a Real-World Perspective We accept the need for medical insurance but most people never give a thought to adding self-defense to their personal wellness program.
