	By the end of the 12th century, samurai became synonymous with ''bushi'' (武士) almost entirely and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class. The samurai followed a set of written rules called the [[Bushidō]] . Samurai teachings can still be found today in modern day society with the martial art [[Kendo]], meaning ''the way of the sword''.
