Frequently Asked Questions

What types of classes do you offer?

At Warrior Concepts, we know that students of all ages and backgrounds come to us with a variety of reasons for studying the martial arts.  That's why we have several different programs, each designed around a student's or parent's primary needs, goals and, in the case of real-world self-defense... primary threats and concerns.

Unlike sport-based or other conventional martial arts, the programs at Warrior Concepts provide the lessons our students need to achieve more success, create the life they've always dreamed of living, and the ability to protect that life from anything or anyone that might threaten to harm it.

how do i prepare for my first class?

No worries.  We've got you covered.

We know that this may be your first experience with the martial arts and, unlike other more familiar sports or activities, could be a daunting or confusing venture.  So...

When you schedule your first class, one of our friendly and helpful staff members will explain everything you'll need for your or your child's first introductory lesson. This includes what to wear, what to bring with you, and what to expect during this important meeting.

do you offer classes for beginners?

Absolutely!  Regardless of whether you've ever taken a martial art or not, the Introductory Trial programs at Warrior Concepts are the perfect way to not only get started in the martial arts, but allow for our trained, professional instructors to help the beginner student to feel safe and confident that you will be guided, step-by-step through the process to see progress from your very first class.

how is warrior concepts different from other martial arts or self-defense programs?

The martial art, self-protection, and life mastery program that lies at the foundation and heart of the Warrior Concepts' Black Belt & Life Mastery programs is known as Ninjutsu - the ancient art of Japan's Samurai and Ninja Warriors.

Unlike other programs which either focus on one "style," or that try to combine two or more unrelated systems to create what is conventionally known as mixed martial arts...

Ninjutsu is the original mixed martial art, or MMA.  It is designed to allow anyone; regardless of age, size, fitness level, or past experience to defend themselves against bigger, stronger, faster, and better skilled attackers.  It also goes beyond conventional self-defense by allowing our students to tailor their training with other study areas like:

  • Wilderness Survival Training
  • Modern and Traditional Weapons
  • Firearms Training
  • Meditation and Life Coaching
  • Bodyguard and Personal Protection
  • Knife and other Weapon Defense Skills
  • and much, Much, MORE!

And, unlike most martial arts where life skills are an added benefit or 'side effect' of the training, the life mastery skills and personal development philosophy and mindset of these powerful warriors is at the forefront of the training.  Because we believe that the only reason for our martial skills is for self-protection... not for fighting or winning trophies in a sport contest.

do you offer discounts?

Warrior Concepts is a professional academy, and the premier self-protection and personal development school in the Central Susquehanna Valley.  We pride ourselves in providing our students with the best educational programs anywhere.

And, while we never compete on price, we do offer the BEST family discounts in the area.  In fact, the more people who train from your family, the cheaper the per person tuition cost for each member.

my child is being bullied. Will this help them?

Absolutely! In fact, the new found levels of confidence, discipline, and self-esteem (not to mention rock-solid self-defense skills!) your child will gain will allow them to handle unhealthy peer-pressure, protect themselves from attack, and often beat the bully without fighting.

In fact, our Master Instructor was bullied and abused as a child and credits the martial arts and his instructors as critical factors in what allowed him to not only survive and overcome the attacks, but to grow beyond them and go on to not only become one of the highest ranking instructors of this art in the world...

...but also become an author, speaker, former police officer and investigator, as well as a highly sought-after security and workplace violence consultant to major medical centers, universities, and mutlinational corporations.

I've always thought of myself as clumsy and uncoordinated.  Can martial arts help me?

Absolutely! In fact, we have many students here looking to improve their balance, ever-all coordination, and gain better mind-body awareness.

Martial arts can also improve flexibility, fitness level, and strength.  And, it's not the same old boring gym workout you dread doing again and again!

Do you teach the philosophy side as well?

Yes!  It's at the core of what we do here.  We teach you the time-tested and proven lessons that have been used by others, just like you, for centuries to improve their lives; to be more calm, relaxed, and stress-free; and to achieve their goals that are missing from other activities, sports, and even most conventional martial arts systems.

And, we do it in a way that allows you to use these timeless lessons and principles to produce real results... today... in the Westen-world of the 21st century!

how many classes can I attend each week?

Our students typically arrange to take classes an average of twice per week.  This should be easy with our flexible schedule that provides day, evening, and weekend classes.  Download the class schedule HERE

Of course, if you want to train more than this, you can always upgrade to one of our higher level programs. These special, full emersion programs allow the serious student to focus and accelerate his or her progress and fast-track their way to Black Belt Mastery!

how much do classes cost?

Our programs are priced based on value, and in line with any other specialized, professional lessons; like golf or tennis, that you might choose to engage in.

The price of each program is based on what you're learning, the length of the program, and the goals and skills you're looking to learn.  To get more details, give us a call at (570) 884-1118 and one of our knowledgeable staff members will help you.

what times are classes and how long are they?

Class times last between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the program you're enrolled into.  For the most recent class schedule, you can download it be clicking HERE

I don't want my child getting into fights. Won't martial arts make them more aggressive?

This is actually a common worry of many parents.  But, with the Warrior Concepts Youth Mastery Program, the opposite is typically true.

In fact, you will find that martial arts training will allow your child to focus; have more respect for themselves and others; and channel anger, frustration, and aggression in a way that allows them to face challenges and hardships in a new way.

And, don't be surprised if your child actually starts listening better, having better self-control and discipline, as well as helping around the house without being asked or told.

Now, isn't that what you really want?

What do i wear for my first class?

Great question! In most cases your first class will be a part of one of our unique Introductory Trial Programs, and will include your official martial arts student uniform.  So, all you'll need to wear in addition to this is a plain black T-shirt and heavy, athletic-type socks.

In the rare cases where you are a guest of one of our students, you are not enrolling into an Introductory Trial Program, or we may be out of uniforms in your size, you can simply wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that you'd be okay doing a light workout in.

what ages do you teach?

You're virtually never too young or too old to start your adventure in the martial arts.  Our system is adapted to the student's age, fitness level, and personal limitations so anyone can benefit from training at Warrior Concepts.

We have classes for very young students as early as 4 years old, and our oldest students have been in their 70's and 80's! If you're looking to do something you've always wanted to do, or you're a parent who wants to give their child the best chance of succeeding and staying safe in this world...

...we can help!

i don't want to be a fighter or win trophies for beating someone up.  Do I have to compete?

Absolutely not! And, while we have had a few students enter competitions, we are not a fight or sport competition martial arts school and do not compete in tournaments.  That means that you or your child will never earn a belt or trophy for beating someone up.

We are strictly a self-defense and personal development school and believe that the only purpose for our skills is for the protection of self and others, as a last resort, and only when we have no other choice.

After all, you have to be IN the world, to be able to DO good in the world!
