The samurai class was established by the 12th century. Samurai worked for feudal lords and were renowned for their bravery and code of honor. They were well-educated martial artists. They adhered to the code of warriors that forbade them from striking enemies from behind or pillaging unnecessarily. If they dishonored themselves or the samurai tradition, they were honor-bound to commit a ritual suicide.

Training is subject to change depending on the level of the student's skills.
