"Journey to Power!"
Fall Japan Trip &
Training Adventure 2007

October 1st - 15th, 2007

Exploring the Power, Legacy, and Spiritual Lessons that Have Forged Ninja History!

Why should you be a part of the Fall Japan Trip?

Can you answer, "Yes," to any of the following?

Are you seeking to engage with the warrior within you?

Do you want to emmerse yourself as deeply as possible in the rich martial and spiritual teachings that lie at the foundations of our traditions?

Can you feel that authentic part of you reaching out for the power, confidence, and control experienced through a life lived to its fullest?

If so, then the Fall Japan Trip is definately for you!

Balancing study of our martial traditions with Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi and several of the senior master instructors of our art with the direct experience of the rich spiritual traditions that have helped others to become the "fully actualized human beings" that each of us was meant to be...

...during this powerful Fall Japan Trip, you will be lead on a guided journey that bridges the void between the physical and the realms of the spirit with a master teacher who has spent a lifetime developing mastery of both.

Though we will be exploring the mystical birthplace of our Ninja Martial Arts and the land of our Warrior ancestors, this Fall Japan Trip will also be a journey into ourselves. During this 14-Day adventure, we will not only be training in the Ninja's arts in and around Noda-city, but we will be seeking out the temples and shrines dedicated to those forces and powers that we, as spiritual warriors, seek to invoke and perfect with ourselves.

The Fall Japan Trip adventure begins when you set your mind on the goal...

...joining the Shidoshi for an adventure into your own being.

And then...

• Training in and around Noda, Kashiwa, Kasukabe, and Ayase-cities, in the centuries-old warrior traditions that lie at the foundation of the self-protection and personal development curriculums here at WCI

• Day trips to ancient temples dedicated to the perfection of the human spirit - such as Asakusa Kannon (Senso-ji), Jindai-ji, as-well-as a few Shinto shrines. Other sites may be visited as time permits. As schedule permits, students may even be able to participate in an authentic Goma "Fire Ritual" at Jindai-ji, one of the Shidoshi's favorite places in Japan.

• Travel by Shinksen "Bullet Train" to Kyoto to explore some of the oldest temples and shrines in the world. Here, through guidance and personal teachings from Shidoshi Miller, you will experience the timeless knowledge of the spirit. While here, we will visit Mt. Hiei (pronounced "he-ay"), the "Mother of Japanese Buddhism."

• Travel by Shinkansen to Nagano where, after a long drive by bus or taxi, we will climb the ancient path connecting each of the three shrines on Togakushi Mountain. Along the way, you will pass by a cemetary where real warrior families are remembered as well as take in the beauty of the world as seen from above. While on top of Togakushi, we will visit the Ninja Museum where many of the artifacts that Hatsumi-Soke inherited from Takamatsu-sensei are on display. You'll definately want to get pleasantly "lost" within the hidden passages and trap-doors of the Ninja House while you're there!

In fact, there is so much to do, see and experience during the Fall Japan trip, that it just can't be described here. It has to be lived!

About Your Guide

Shidoshi Jeffrey M. Miller is a Judan chi-menkyo (often referred to as 11th degree Black Belt) in the ancient traditions that make up the Bujinkan Dojo warrior traditions. After spending over three decades exploring the martial and meditative arts of the East, he founded Warrior Concepts International, where like-minded people seeking to develop their own sense of mastery through the study of the ancient lessons of warriors and sages alike, may gather, study, and share.

He is an initiated layman in the Esoteric Mikkyo Mind-Science of the Tendai lineage based on Mount Hiei in Japan as well as a student of modern scientific studies like NLP, Quantum Physics, and the like.

He is a former federal police officer, undercover investigator, private detective, and bodyguard. That means that he has not only learned the lessons of the warrior, but has had to put them to use where they matter most - in the real world.

Think about it. Just spending 14 days with a teacher with literally a lifetime of, not just study, but actual real-world experience, would be worth the relatively low cost of this Fall Japan trip. But when you consider the doors that the Shidoshi can and will open for you with regards to training with his own master teachers, the secret treasures of Japan and it's people and customs, and the spiritual traditions that are older than anything we have in the West, this trip is literally priceless.

In addition to all of this, you'll still get the added benefits of...

• Being a part of a small group of like-minded explorers all seeking the same thing - direct experience of "the power of the ancient masters"

• Personal, one-on-one and group time with Shidoshi Miller as your guide and mentor

• Personal teachings relevant to you and your life, and...

• A deepening of friendships, bonds, and connections with not only fellow travelers but, with yourself and your martial practice.

Limited Space Available

This is not a mass tour of idle curiosity-seekers. This is a journey of exploration into the realms of mastery. Make no mistakes about it...

...Fall Japan Trip is a training trip!

That means that you will be physically active, mentally stimulated, and emotionally touched. There WILL BE a lot of walking involved as-well-as the traversing of steep steps and mountain paths.

You WILL go to bed each night tired and exhausted. But, you will also look forward to the next morning as the adventure will begin anew.
