Well i went to karate once and i couldnt stand all the stuff about salutation and some guys are "higher" than others as in black belts and shit and i thought that it was a kind of ego trip, whereas in boxing you just train and spar and learn and no one gives a shit they just try to improve and become better boxers. So i was wondering if sword fighting places are like this.

If you think rank is there just to "show off" and "shit", then I'm not sure what kind of dojo you went to. In kendo, there is no way to visually see someone's rank outside of how well they perform. As to being able to find out how to kill some guy regardless of form and "honor" or such useless things, I think the best way to get better, as with anything, is with experience. So, good luck. Maybe you can buy the "Ultimate Ninja Weapon" because it has shuriken as tsuba and some other handy things that'll come in handy.
