From the publisher
KUDEN! Radio (pronounced KOO-den) explores strategy, perception, and warrior philosophy for the modern protector navigating an uncertain world. “Kuden” refers to teachings passed directly from teacher to student—insights that go beyond written instruction. This podcast carries that tradition forward, examining the deeper principles behind Ninjutsu and how they apply to real-world conflict, decision-making, and personal development. Hosted by Dai-Shihan Jeffrey Miller—senior master-teacher of Ninjutsu and director of Warrior Concepts International—each episode goes beyond techniques to focus on awareness, adaptability, resilience, and strategic thinking. Topics include situational awareness, decision-making under pressure, the psychology of conflict, and training the mind and body to respond effectively when it matters most. New episodes stream live weekly and are available across major podcast platforms. Learn more: https://onlineninjaacademy.com/kudenpodcast/
