Paul continued, “There is no specific skill set, codified curriculum or hidden clan of martial arts masters or even a ‘ninjutsu style’. Hold on a minute there, my mind has been blown – ninja and samurai are not distinct entities? I blame Pizza Cats and Teenage Turtles for this misconception. The idea we have of the ninja as a stealthy super-assassin, one-man army, and having a specific style – is a modern myth. ‘Ninja’ and ‘samurai’ were not actually distinct entities. I wonder, is combining these two styles something that is practised, either today or in history? Is there anyone from the past who meshed these two arts together? Over to Paul, “This is a very common misconception. In his guerrilla strikes against the Mongol oppressors, Jin utilises traditional samurai skills in one on one combat as well as ninjutsu techniques to strike from the shadows, switching between the two styles as necessary. I’ll then input his answers into my Historical Accuracy Meter and have the final verdict on how historically accurate Ghost of Tsushima is.

Paul told me, “I am one of the chief instructors in Ireland teaching traditional Japanese swordsmanship (Iaido) and Japanese stick fighting (Jodo), and am the country leader for a traditional school of Japanese sword fighting (Kenjustu).” And if that’s not enough of an impressive resume he’s also authored two books on traditional samurai philosophy, conducted lectures and talks on the samurai for University College Dublin and Dublin City University, worked as a historical consultant on TV and film on the subject of swordsmanship and the samurai, and runs the website Clearly, this is a man who knows his stuff when it comes to Japan’s renowned fighting class and is therefore the ideal candidate to answer some of my uninformed questions regarding the historical authenticity of Ghost of Tsushima. “I specialise in Japanese swordsmanship, particularly authentic traditional systems dating from around the 1600’s and used by the samurai”. Paul has been a martial artist for over thirty years. Instead, I turned to a man who is a walking and talking encyclopaedia of all things samurai Paul ‘Batman’ O’Brien. Shockingly, both these events only happened last year. My combat experience extends to putting Toby Scrivens in a headlock for breaking my Sunstreaker Transformer and some drunken inebriate punching me in the side of the head on my way back from a train station.
