| What is the code of Bushido? Are there any "real" guidelines set? |

For those who might not be aware....
Rectitude
Courage
Benevolence
Respect
Honesty
Honour
Loyalty

Yes! It's possible that the Code of Bushido sounds like the Boy Scouts of America oath, but, it's beyond that. Each of the seven tenets are inside of us; each one of us. Whether one likes to keep them private and to themselves or not is of a choice.
Are these "real" guidelines set? Not only are these guidelines real, but, God made them, therefore, they're set!
I hope that the code of bushido is in me, but, more than that, I know that God is in me!

sensei 8, thank you for your post. I have read somewhere that there weren't any "real" code of Bushido. Mainly it was carried from family values and traditions.

Code of Bushido and many other things in the martial arts are just not understood, but, they're thrown around anyway without any thought and/or any care, imho!

That is true. Have you ever read William S. Wilson's writing..."Ideals of the Samurai: Writings of Japanese Warriors"? Well, he speaks of just that...social class, family lineage, writing style, and geography; including the sharing of common values.
Yet, the Code of Bushido is just as real as the planet Earth is...real that is!

sensei8,
Have you reserached/read;
The Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai
Tokugawa Bushido
The traditions of Japanese Bushido-Steve Lussing
The Development and Psychology of Bushido and Budo - Paul D. Short
Bushido: The Soul of Japan - Inazo Nitobe
Many historians tend to pull away form what people tend to have a "written" asscociation. |

I've read The Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai and Bushido: The Soul of Japan and I'm thankful that I'm not a historian; but only a martial artist who enjoys history, rather fabled or not!

Great. But to enjoy something, fable or not, we have to distinguish upon this as we communicate such in a way, that others do not misinterpret this as one having little to no knowledge.
In other words, it has to be known, that a person saying something, which may be inorrect, pointed out that all realises it is incorrect, including the poster.
For example, if one is to post that the Samurai wore pink poka dotted underwear that look like Hanes briefs, it would have to be distiguished that perhaps this is incorrect or that it was to be a thought from a untangible opinion. |

Great. But what's your exact point?
