A Book of Five Rings

“Strategy is the craft of the warrior. Commanders must enact the craft, and troopers should know this Way. There is no warrior in the world today who really understands the Way of strategy. “

Thus spake Miyamoto Musashi in 1645 A.D.

His simple treatise on the strategy and tactics of swordsmanship, divided into five distinct sections or “rings,” remains the classic work on the subject even now, some 400 years after his death. This is the classic text on feudal Japanese swordsmandship. A MUST for any true warrior.

 

Techniques include:

  • Three Methods to Forestall the Enemy
  • Holding Down a Shadow
  • To Know Collapse
  • The Three Shouts
  • The Mountain-Sea Change
  • The Body of a Rock.

Miyamoto Musashi was the most famous swordsman of feudal Japan. He fought over sixty life-and-death duels, participated in many famous battles, and was never defeated. As a warrior of no small repute, he died peacefully in his bed of old age. Certainly, one might consider the words of such a sage in the art of swordsmanship to be worthy of consideration and contemplation by those who would follow the Way of the Warrior.
