		<description>Actually samurai would still use swords for training purposes and in everyday practice.I like your artical but i felt you looked over important details of the sword itself, like the fact that a true battle ready katana was 40 iches from tsubo to the tip of the blade.  Overall you did fine research but please do not compare the hollywood film to the actual life of a samurai.  

P.S. If you are going to get a katana you should try not to get a showblade, they are weak and completely usless if you have any kind of training.  Go battle ready all the way.  You will be able to tell the difference because battle ready will be $200 or more.  They are expencive but worth every penny.</description>
