Military Training (Samurai) I

Read over the source document and identify the basics of military training including who was trained, when they were trained, and what was included.

From: Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire (PBS) The rigorous training of a samurai warrior began in childhood. Samurai school was a unique combination of physical training, Chinese studies, poetry and spiritual discipline. The young warriors studied Kendo ("the Way of the Sword"), the moral code of the samurai, and Zen Buddhism. Samurai were expected to live according to Bushido ("The Way of the Warrior"), a strict ethical code influenced by Confucianism that stressed loyalty to one's master, respect for one's superior, ethical behavior in all aspects of life and complete self-discipline. Girls also received martial arts training. Although most samurai women did not fight on the battlefield, they were prepared to defend their homes against invaders.
