A American friend of mine (he's huge!) was offered a job as a bodyguard for a boss in Kobe. He politely declined.

At least he let him down politely instead of running away or insulting the guy. It would have turned out even worse. Probably.

so i saw a show on discovery channel that involved the yakuza and it said they still used swords some times and i was just wondering if this was true?

Maybe. I mean... How else are they going to cut off a finger at the first sign of disrespect? :P A pocket knife?

The first finger that they cut off of me, I would've been gone. Out of the Yakuza.

Sure enough, man. Although... There was a really STUPID "yakuza ninja" boss who cut off all of his cook's fingers, put them on sushi, and made the cook eat the sushi. The reason? The cook spilled hot soup on the son's lap. ...This was a scene in Machine Girl.

The yakuza isn't a softball team that you can just quit when you get bored.

LOL. Thats true I bet you would have to leave the country to avoid them. I mean they wouldn't want you to just run off and take their secrets or anything. Plus it would look bad if some punks could just leave their organization.
