Reading today about the origin of rabbinic Judaism, and made an interesting connection.
"Rabbi" means literally "My master"; it is a title of honor for the rabbi's role as teacher. Therefore, it's essentially equivalent to "Sensei".
All of a sudden the combination of religion and sword fighting makes more sense.
