Actually, I was praising the training, and the conviction of this young 13 y/o boy. This "boy" was out of line in what he did though. The way it happened, was this samurai posted up a sign trying to get a duel. Musashi then defaced the sign, and posted that he would be there at a specific time. He then showed up on time. The samurai skoffed at him, and told him he would spare Musashi's life if he apologized and went away. Musashi then whooped him and (the story says anyway) only used two hits. The first was to the head, and knocked the Samurai down and unconcious. The second was to the chest, and killed him.

So, in closing, I am not "praising" this 13 y/o boy. He was one of the greatest swordsmen in the world of his time. A time in which people lived and died by the sword. He died of natural causes when he was in his 60's IIRC. His training goes to show that kids CAN be trained to have the conviction necissary to defend themselves. (even though in this instance it was not defending himself)

Also, I have no idea where you get the idea that I might think anything of a child in Zimbabwe killing anyone. I've never heard of anything like that.
