From my knonwledge about it ( coz i know that some of you would like to know this ) Samurai All soldiers that were servants to shogun - even from the lowest part of society - were in the same class of warriors called buke , they were known as "people of war" - bushi or wasarau, or mononofu After year 1869 they were classified as shizoku - "past army servants", but to all world they were known as Samurai. |

Samurai - "the one who serves" - is the short form of goshozamurai - which was the name of leaders of clans in ancient Japan, but with time all those who could wear sword were called samurai. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They were classified with different ranks, categories and such. As it is told every samurai took swear on his masters life that he will serve well, until death. Swear was took at special ceremony - keppan - it was written with warriors blood on special paper. |

|
Lashing was so strong that with the death of leader -daimyo - samurai, and sometimes even his family took their lives by seppuku ( ritual of killing - I will clear it later ) Every warrior was obligated to serve bujitsu- code of warriors. |

The way of the warrior Fighting , using weapons, tactics - this was never main purpose of bujitsu. It is supposed to be treated as way to improve yourself. With this bujitsu is rather a system of morality, ethic, which goes beyond simple frames of world between peoples. This system is called budo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Budo can be identified with motives of behaviors of warriors , but mainly it should be identified with ethic of armed leaders of Japan. |

Rules Main rule - to obey to your master. Warrior should have faith in master when the times where good, and when the times were bad. Quote from bushido (written code of warrior laws): "warrior will never abandon his master, even when from 100 cavalry will left 10, and even when from these 10 only he will still alive. He will defend his master till the end, without paying attention on his own life" |
||||||||

|
|
Samurai should have modest life, he should not feel the pain. He should eradicate fear of death. Way of the samurai is the way of death |

I wouldn't call Samurai 'ancient'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Who would win in a fight between Fat Sammo and Jackie Chan? |

1.no ninjas were te\reated as lowest part of society - they worked in shadow and night - nobody could know their faces. to be ninja it mean - to be born in nija family. there was no other way to be ninja. Samurai as a honorable warrior couldnt agree with someone who is hiding his face wothout honor 2. pirates - even Japanese had their own - mostly they were people under the law - like other pirates all over the world. in fact they were pretty dangerous coz they had nothing to loose :) 3. music - as many issues - was one of the part of education of samurai. Not pnly fighting was their ability - education was given very early - education means - literacy, mathematics, music...stuff like this. |

jacki chan has great abilities - kung fu is very powerful, although most of his scene fights is created by choreographer ( jackie himself ) kung fu is strictly full contact - knees, fists. very quick, very agressive, very dangerous sorry - i dont knoe fat sammo.... ,,,maybe you mean sumo fighter - if so - sumo is other type of fight - you cant compare them- different philosophy behind, diferent rules, different people...etc etc. |

ok, now we have seppuku or hara-kiri ( as you like ): This is a ritual of killing. It was treated as manifet of power and free will, and greatest courage. It was a priviledge (!) At start it was pretty usual - with time this ceremony grow to big event , available only to highest class of society. Sepuku was made with special blade. basicly the point is that source of oll vital power is in stomach. First cuting went from left to right. Then, if someone was strong enough( but it happened rarely )there was next one - from middle to up larynx. because this kind of death was long and painful, there was allways another person - just after cutting stomach this person made decapitation. This ceremony was so terrifying that after some time it was prohibited, but it is well known even today - some japanes soldiers were killing themselfs in the face of loosing battle in second world war !! |
