Hey! I am a new member and i am having a problem. I'm trying to become a samurai but i have not found any info on how to become one other than being born into a samurai clan. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanx

That's pretty much it-- if there were still a
Shogun around who you could impress (a la Will Adams the english navigator in 1600), you might have a shot. In a modern, and I assume North American context, all you can really do is properly research the lifestyle of the samurai class (
here's a good place to start), join your local branch of the
SCA, and be
hon samurai on the weekends while continuing to lead a sucky wage-slave life the rest of the time. It's what I do
