Sleeping Samurai
Foam Weapons Battle Arena
Brooksville, FL, USA
Biography:
Sleeping Samurai is based around ancient and modern day Japanese culture. We supply a unique mix of handmade foam weaponry and imported novelties. These foam weapons can be used in a number of Martial Art sports, "LARPing" sports, and/or as a safe alternative for cosplaying purposes. We also provide a wealth of programming in interactive entertainment for conventions to utilize, which includes, but not limited to, training sessions, instructional panels, and tournaments. All of these elements bring an exciting and approachable atmosphere to conventions. Our biggest attraction is our "Bushido Battle Arena" which gives con attendees the opportunity to battle in a safe and fun environment. All of our events are family fun and allow all ages to participate. We have successfully run these types of operations at dozens of events all across the United States yearly since 2007.
