If found you had time traveled and woke with a bladed weapon in your hand who would you want to be?

If you woke up to find you had traveled back in time and had a bladed weapon in your hand would you want to be a Viking, Templar Knight, Spartan, gladiator, Centurion, or a samurai, and why? Myself I would go for the samurai because they were fine artist like myself but also skilled enough to draw their Katana or Shirasaya disembowel and decapitate their opponent before you can say fact from fiction, truth from diction.
