About the Sleeping Samurai
Sleeping Samurai is a company based around bringing Interactive Entertainment to conventions. We supply hand made foam weapons, made to simulate actual weapons with as much historical accuracy as possible. These weapons are created entirely by the staff of Sleeping Samurai. Most all of the weapons that we create are Asian inspired. We do have some European inspired weapons, though. So, whether you are looking for a foam Katana or a foam Hammer, you should find what you need in our wide array of weapons. Custom orders are always welcome! Sleeping Samurai was established in 2007 and since then we have brought our expertise in the field of Interactive Entertainment to dozens of shows across the U.S. No distance is too far to travel in order to bring you our unique style of foam fighting. Not only do we offer you the chance to participate in the foam battles themselves but we also hold instructional panels, historical panels, choreographed fight routine panels, training sessions and much more. Foam weapon tournaments, exhibition matches and LARPing games are just a few types of battles that we organize and supervise at conventions. Tournament winners receive their pick of one free item from our inventory. Foam weapons, parasols, hand fans, necklaces, prayer stones and sensual oils are just a few of the items that we carry. Many people ask me what my business name means. Well, to me, it represents the fact that in this world there are still Samurai. These Samurai could be your average Joe. The kid that packs your groceries, the person that delivers your mail, the firefighter down the street, the person at your local park that picks up the trash, the Police Officer that you hate because he/she gave you a ticket for breaking the law, or the person that serves your burger at the fast food joint. All of these people could be Samurai. They just don’t realize it. Therefore, they are “Sleeping”. They are Samurai because of how they treat you, respect you, protect you, honor you and most of all, (some) would die for you. Yes, some would even give their lives for you, a complete stranger. These are the type of people that I would consider, Samurai. So, the next time you are about to take for granted the person who bagged your groceries, delivered your tax return, saved your grandparents from a gas leak, picked up your trash, arrested the criminals, or served you your food, just remember, they could be “Sleeping Samurai”. Please feel free to contact us with any question you have. Thank you very much for your time and we hope to see you soon. Sincerely, |
