The Last of the Mohicans vs The Last Samurai

For the record as Mohican warriors I'm quite sure that they trained from youth in the ways of combat. Not to mention the Samurai followed Bushido. Which consituted a lot more then sword play. Poetry that doesn't rhime and floral arrangment aren't exactly usefull in combat after all.

Agreed they did do other things like philosphy, but that was in DOWN time in what very LITTLE downtime they got. You also have to take into consideration.... they were trained in Kendo.... which well is in its on right on a level of badass.

Bushido = "The Way of the Warrior" 😉

I hope you aren't bundling Japanese culture (what with the Haiku's) with the Way of the Samurai.

Nightstick is still correct, being a warrior to the Japanese (samurai) wasn't just about practicing sword-play and battle formations all day long, it was a code of conduct, which included poetry, mediation, spiritual lessons etc.

Too true.

Same goes for the Mohicans.

good points guys..

Cool stuff:
