Was 1/2 reading the Gorin-no-sho enroute to work this morning and found that it uses the term 士の道 in a very explicit term to mean the warrior classes. Its in modern Japanese, so maybe they are using the 士 to make it sound older... or maybe thats how it was written in the original... I dont know.

Since we were discussing it yesterday just thought id mention it.

選手 is only used in competition. Never seen/heard of 剣士 in any competition.

Kind of related: In the Kyoto taikai all the indivual participants names are read, and the term 先生 is used.
