Download or read book Miyamoto Musashi written by Miyamoto Musashi and published by . This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin No Sho?) is a text on kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi circa 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists: for instance, some business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work. The modern-day Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy.Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive, and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle. Descriptions of principles are often followed by admonitions to "investigate this thoroughly" through practice rather than trying to learn them by merely reading.Miyamoto Musashi in his prime, wielding two bokken.Musashi describes and advocates a two-sword style: that is, wielding both katana and wakizashi, contrary to the more traditional method of wielding the katana two-handed. However, he only explicitly describes wielding two swords in a section on fighting against many adversaries. The stories of his many duels rarely reference Musashi himself wielding two swords, although, since they are mostly oral traditions, their details may be rather inaccurate. Some suggest that Musashi's meaning was not so much wielding two swords "simultaneously", but rather acquiring the proficiency to (singly) wield either sword in either hand as the need arose. However, Musashi states within the volume that one should train with a long sword in each hand, thereby training the body and improving one's ability to use two blades simultaneously, though the aim of this was only for training purposes and wasn't meant to be a viable fighting style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Book of Five Rings is an authoritative version of Musashi’s classic The Book of Five Rings, translated and annotated by a modern martial arts master, Kenji Tokitsu. Tokitsu has spent most of his life researching the legendary samurai swordsman and his works, and in this book he illuminates this seminal text, along with several other works by Musashi. These include "The Mirror of the Way of Strategy," which Musashi wrote when he was in his twenties; "Thirty-five Instructions on Strategy," and "Forty-two Instructions on Strategy," which were precursors to The Book of Five Rings; and "The Way to Be Followed Alone," which Musashi wrote just days before his death. Read together, these five texts give readers an unusually detailed, nuanced view of Musashi’s ideas on swordsmanship, strategy, and self-cultivation. Tokitsu puts all these writings into historical and philosophical context and makes them accessible and relevant to today’s readers and martial arts students. Tokitsu understands Musashi’s writings—and Musashi as a martial artist—unusually well and is able to provide a rare insight into the man and his historical contribution.

Book excerpt: Miyamoto Musashi, famed for his two-sword style, was a master of Shuriken. Kanji Naruse, the martial arts researcher and instructor of Negishi School Shuriken, published his book "Shuriken" in 1941. He devoted two chapters to discussing Miyamoto Musashi and his use of Shuriken. The first chapter of his surprising book discusses the origins of Musashi's Shuriken art and quotes various historical documents as well as the Okura Monument, a stone slab etched with a 1000 Kanji history of Musashi's life produced by his adopted son Iori. It also discusses Musashi's surprisingly influential connection to the famous Yagyu family and how a duel between Musashi and a member of the Yagyu family caused the Yagyu to develop new techniques to defend against an opponent throwing a Shuriken. The second chapter is Naruse's interpretation of the Shuriken techniques employed by Musashi in duels. The next chapters will look at documents related to the Chishin Ryu, New Learning School, a Shuriken school that was founded by the descendants of Miyamoto Musashi. These documents were all transcribed by the early 20th century martial artist and researcher Fujita Seiko. A section of a recently authenticated work by Miyamoto Musashi is also included. This document gives specific instructions regarding how to throw Shuriken according to Musashi. Finally, documents related to the Yagyu school mentioning Shuriken will be introduced.
