Do we know the specific historical training process of Japanese Samurai or Ninja?

by aRLYCoolSalamndr

Do we have any evidence for how samurai or ninja were actually trained for battle specifically? Like curriculum, tests or things they had to accomplish before they were ready to send into battle?

I'm curious to investigate the differences in how modern traditional martial arts training is vs actually training for real battle historically.

Hi! u/NientedeNada would be able to address this properly in regards to ninjas, but they have written about them before here.

I hope that helps!
