Why do most people think the samurais were only individual fighters who lacked tactics and formations?
I notcied most people think the samurais were only individuals were did not fight like an army and did not utilise tactics in formations.Although this was true in the early middle agws,by the Tokugawan Era samurais used formations,tactics,and strategies as complex and sophisticated as those of Romans and Greeks!

Why do most people think samurais were only skilled in one on one fighting well in fact they fought like an organized army by the Tokugawan era?
Because people base what they know about the Samurai on movies and don’t study how the samurai were really like and thus are completely ignorant about he samurai.

Kendo $25.48 Kendo-the Way of the Sword-is one of the oldest of Japan’s martial arts and the one most closely associated with the samurai. Immortalized in the action movies of Akira Kurosawa and in the bestselling novel Musashi, Kendo–originally a form of swordsmanship-has in recent years developed into a popular and highly competitive sport enjoyed by thousands of men and women around the world. Kendo: The Definitive Guide is the first book in English to provide a practical and truly comprehensive approach to the subject. Everything that the novice needs to know, from basic information about purchasing, wearing, and maintaining essential equipment to competing in international tournaments, is explained in simple, straightforward language. Step-by-step explanations of fundamental techniques to be mastered to attain black belt level are illustrated in easy-to-follow line drawings. With appendices giving the rules at international competitions and important information about Kendo clubs outside Japan, Kendo is the definitive guide for all non-Japanese Kendoists. A special section about the history and development of this martial art and guidelines for running practice sessions also make it a unique resource for all teachers of Kendo.
