Meta Con 2013 will be happening at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Minneapolis from August 30 through September 1, 2013.
Samurai Dan and his wife, the beautiful Lady Jillian (also attending), are full-time martial arts instructors, specializing in 16th century Samurai arts. When not teaching at their dojo, the Kojokan, they travel across the country performing and teaching the ancient ways of the most famous warriors in history. Their shows and demonstrations uniquely blend history, combative skill, and humor, in a way that will both educate and entertain audiences both large and small.
In addition to teaching at their dojo in Iowa and demonstrating across the country, the dynamic duo also collaborated to write, direct, host, and star in a 12 episode TV series entitled “The Way of the Samurai.” Daniel is also an author with several martial arts articles published, and he is currently working on his second full-length novel.
Samurai Dan is known for being hilarious… he’s also really tall.
