 POW! Mixed Martial Arts
The earliest known reference to swordsmanship in Japan is AD 789, when sword exercise was part of education for the sons of noblemen.
With the unification of Japan in the 16th century, however, the need for highly skilled swordsmen diminished because the country was at peace.

 20TH CENTURY DEMOCIDE (Genocide and Mass Murder)
Consider table 1.2 and figure 1.1, the list and its graph of this century's megamurderers--those states killing in cold blood, aside from warfare, 1,000,000 or more men, women, and children.
It is these people that have committed the kilo and megamurders of our century and we must not lose their identity under the abstraction of "state," "regime," "government," or "communist." Table 1.4 lists those men most notorious and singularly responsible for the megamurders of this century.
As clear from the megamurderers listed in table 1.2 alone, this land is multicultural and multiethnic, its inhabitants believed in all the world's religions and spoke all its languages.
