Samurai was required to train 18 kinds of fighting skills(It's called Bugei-jyu-happan). Those were archery,horsemanship, spear-fighting, sword-fighting, draw-sword, short sword-fighting, naginata, throwing knife(syuri-ken), swimming, jitte-jyutu(short metal truncheon), bou-jyutu(stick fighting), arrest-skill(torite-jyutu), mojiri-jyutu(arresting tool skill), chain-sickle, fukumi-bari-jyutu(blow out needle from mouth), ongyou-jyutu(hiding skill), gunnery, and jyu-jyutu.

Did I miss something?

For some of skill I could not find good translation, so those might be unclear.
