I dont know if you take it as part of the otaku culture. But i have 3 questions for all of you.

1.- Wich one of these do you prefer? Samurai or Ninja?
2.- Why?
3.- Why would you practice that?

>> No.9766088

1.Samurai
2.They get some pretty bitchin helmets
3.Because I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of a stealth operation.

>> No.9766095

Samurai
Because I don't really like samurai, but I like knights, and samurai is a sort of a knight but he's not really a knight. basically I like his armor, even though it's impractical.
Practice what? Ninjutsu or kendo? Ninjutsu of course. Kendo is useless.

Manly Thread?
Mathew Axelson:
During a failed counter insurgency code named Operation Red Wing 4 Navy Seals were holed in by approximately 150 taliban soldiers lead by the man they were sent to kill. Axelson held the left flank even after taking several bullet wounds in the chest. After nearly running out of ammo Axelson took a close proximity grenade blast to the upper torso and head. Two of the other SEALS also fell in the battle, but when the USN came to retrieve the body, Axelson was not where the surviving SEAL had said he was. His corpse was found 100 yards away from the last reported point, he was found face down surrounded by 6 Taliban soldier corpses and an empty pistol. Which means this fucker had to have harnessed his Norse ancestry and charged the enemy lines with just a service pistol in hand.

Like maids, ninjas are legendary creatures that you cannot see in the modern world.

But samurai are better because ninjas were usually peasants and samurai didn't exactly object to sneaking around in some fellow's house and shank him in his sleep if they could get away with it.

Some samurai had to do stealth operations.
Theres the 47 ronin, they had to do some
semi-stealth attack

>>9766095
The armor was usefull at least in their
warfare, remember when western culture
arrived Japan with the fire guns.
I dont think kendo or ninjutsu are usless, it
depends your focus. If you want self
protection train aikido, muay thai, kung fu or ninjutsu.
If you want it as a sport train tae kwon do,
karate or even box.
If you are seeking a more spiritual way train
kendo, iaido, kyudo. Now, im not saying that each
martial art has his only way, it depends on
who is teaching you that martial art.

Samurai also get women

I like ninja. There's something romantic about killing a man that's 30 times the fighter you are in his sleep with poison on a string or some shitty sword you made with a fire and a river so that you can steal his high quality sword.
>>9766095
Samurai didn't use kendo you dumb faggot. It's a dumb downed version of what they used, and it's still enough to kill you.

Karate was made to kill samurai, don't doubt it just because Murrika turned it into a cardio class.

1. Samurai. How is this even a question? Naturally, it's the obvious answer.

2. Ninjas are pretty much overrated. All they are basically are just messengers, while samurais are warriors and such.

3. Because it seems more fun anyways.

I believe you shouldn't underestimate Aikido. Now I know you may be thinking, "Why take a weakling martial art like Aikido seriously when I am learning Kendo?" I can see why you would think that, how can a peaceful martial arts like Aikido beat a powerful one like Kendo?
Well, I have a story to share with you.
Years ago, I was a Kendoka, I thought I was the toughest kid in high school, I would pick fights, and kick ass. I was full of hate, until I picked a fight with the wrong dude. He was a Japanese exchange student, I still remember his name, Noboru Takeda.
I picked on him because of his hilarious and thick Japanese accent. I told him I was going to beat him so hard, he would go back to China(Yeah, I was a little racist prick.), he never said anything back, made me wanted to kick his ass even harder.
Well, here comes the fight. I threw men and do strikes, he dodged them like I was a mere white belt. I was tiring out and he knew, I saw the smirk on his face that made me raged hard. I put all my strength in one amazing tsuki, and he grabbed past it to my wrist and threw me over. My back smacked on the hard cement ground, and I was knocked out for who knows how long.
When I woke up I was in the school infirmary, I asked the nurse who brought me here, and you guessed it, Noboru Takeda. The next day, he wasn't at school, he was back in Japan, and I never got to thank him, for saving my life and showing me the light. I soon learned that he was an Aikidoka and have been practicing Aikido ever since to show my thanks to him.

They were more often "and such" as warriors.

>1.- Wich one of these do you prefer? Samurai or Ninja?
None but if I have to choose Samurai.

>2.- Why?
Because Bushido is an actual style of life while and all I know about ninjas comes from 忍者ハットリくん

>3.- Why would you practice that?
Because there's nothing better in what you offered me.

No offence but. If you were a kendoka how could you be like that? I think that is a little implied that if you train Kendo you should change your way to see things little by little.
And i agree with you, aikido is kind of underestimated but it is a really fun and interesting martial art
