The Samurai's mental training involved a lot of self-control. The dread of death was common among warriors, and they had to learn to overcome their fear with meditation. The training also involved fasting, holding postures for hours, believing themselves to be dead, and marching barefoot in freezing snow. An attack could come at any second during war, so the Samurai absolutely had to become aware of danger. This could be referred to as a "sixth sense".

The role of the samurai warrior in fedual japan?
Feudal Japan as peasants was quite a hard life they were farmers and of lower class. They provided food especially rice. They would usually live in small villages and just spend days farming, they would wear one piece sacks of clothing almost like 'potato sacks' as clothing. Peasants would be from children to elders.
Who would win Knight or Samurai?
To analyze the outcome, we have to analyze the two warriors: Training: Knight - Consists of training since childhood learning how to master the long-sword and horse-back riding. Martial arts and wooden equipment were used. First squire (assistant) to knight then an actual knight. Only the wealthy could have knight sons. Religion, reading and writing were also taught Samurai - Training since childhood how to master the katana and wakizashi swords, the yumi bow and arrow, naginata and yari spear and many more. Martial arts and wooden equipment were used. Many could be a samurai and training for the difficult task of firing accurate arrows from horseback was intense. The sword training was also intense. Winner: Samurai because of the bow and arrow use, no waste of time as assisting knights and variety of weapons Code of Honor: Knight - Loose code of chivalry. Many did not follow it but its values were courage, mercy and christianity Samurai - Bushido "The way of the bow" was very strict and because it was programmed from childhood into the minds of children, it is rare to find a bushido-less samurai. The values are loyalty to your daimyo (lord) to the death and the next life. Avenge him or her. Commit seppuku (special suicide) is dishonored yourself to redeem yourself. Sometimes it prevents having some advantages like sheilds. Winner - Tie. Although samurai might not live to fight another day after committing seppuku over something, knights have proven to be cowards, rapists and disloyal to their leaders too many a time. Armour: Knight - A heavy plate armour provided excellent frotection but definatley not indistructible to swords specifically made to destroy another knight's armour. It is heavy but provides excellent protection. Chainmail was lighter but was uncomfortable and offered less but surprising protection. Samurai - A very sophisticated armor made of metal scales joined by leather, one on top of the other. The horseback armour was heavier and more protection provided but the foot soldier armour was lighter and less protection. Although waterproof, when soaked in rain, the armour can get much heavier. The more popular armour is light but has strong halmet but lighter shin and shoulder gaurds. Winner - Samurai. Although it has less protection as the metal plate knight armour, the knight's lack of long-range weapons besides a crossbow means the armour can take less damage from the crossbow to make it not fatal. It will also be devastating in sword combat since the katana can penetrate knight armour with samurai strength and the knight will be too slow to give out good damage. Knight armor is too slow to prove effective against a fast and powerful opponent like the samurai. Swords + spears Knight: Longsword. Designed specifically to break through knight armour like butter. It is great against slow-moving targets. Samurai: Katana + Wakizashi are considered very sharp for a sword and still has the inertia to break through knight armour with enough force, which the samurai has. Samurai keep it in motion to provide the most damage. A skilled swordsman can literally cut a human in half with one. A naginata was a poled weapon with a 2-4 ft blade on a 4-5 ft shaft. It can cut through bamboo (deadliest warrior). Winner: Samurai's many swords. While the knight has only one weapon suited for 1 opponenet, samurai weapons can be used against anybody including the knight. Infamously sharp and powerful swords and spears can cut through bone, flesh and even bamboo. Winner: Samurai. Knights are tough but samurai are strong. Knight's defenses can be penetrated by the samurai before the knight penetrates the samurai. It would be the knight's armour against the samurai sword. Knights' only long range weapon is the crossbow that unless aimed at a inmobile target, is likely to hit a non-fatal region in samurai armor if the yumi cannot penetrate the knight armour. In the end, the samurai is a pocket knife with tools ready to fit in any situation while the knights can only beat other heavily armoured opponenets. Did I mention the kanabo club would probably be able to disarm and incapacitate the knight if needed?
