The Samurai are not Dead

Samurai. The name is legendary. The name brings to mind an elite warrior class and the bushido code. Specialized armor and precision skill with a sword also comes to mind. Simply put, they were the special forces of their time. Of course I thought they were long since gone. (Not true... read on)

While surfing news articles, I came across an article about a man named Isao Machii. He calls himself a modern Samurai. At first I scoffed at this self proclaimed Samurai. That was until I watched the video attached to the story. Let me just say, I stand corrected. I watched in amazement as this man cut a plastic BB, shot at 200mph, in half. Yes you read that right a plastic BB... moving at 200 mph... in half. Here is the link to the video so you can see for yourself.

There you have it... The Samurai are alive and well.
