Up until the 1800s there were Samurais in Japan, then came the battle between the gun and the sword, but the Samurai spirit still lives within the Japan. The sad part is that even the acting roles of Samurai practitioners has decreased drastically over the past few years. I don’t even remember seeing a really good Samurai movie in a while, these guys practice sword fighting constantly to perfect their form, and it would be a huge loss if we lost this art form.
