He arrived late to the duels to mess up the composure of his opponents, they got very mad and so did not duel well. The boy was chosen by the warriors, he was 13 or so, and musashi killed him.
This reason is not proven at all Maybe he overslept or anything Or was thinking of a way to win That was in some sources But with the yoshioka it was different
Seems like he strategized everything, from using a lethal weapon or something less harmful just to teach a lesson, to everything else micromanaging. He was a perfectionist of his craft and became a Master. I wonder what the Monks told him after his fist killing?
Probably not much, pure land Buddhist in Japan did participate in combat plenty of times. Plus pureland teaches the corruption of earth and how you need to be reborn in the pure land. You can look up more on that for yourself tho.
"Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world". No matter how much skill, determination, focus, prowess, we all will one day die. And Musashi understood this concept. To even acquire such skill of the sword, sounds made up; it just shows how perfect he was in the art of combat
@@colebarton3726 Exactly. In the time of sword and spear, it was easier to achieve greatness of any shape, form or fashion because humans were not distracted then as they are today.

Thank you for sharing this, my dad read this book ten times as a youth. But he sure has a great memory to remember this. No wonder my sister and I grew up loving Japanese culture
Fascinating! I read The Book of Five Rings several years ago, more from a business strategy standpoint than as history. But I didn’t know the detailed background of warrior Miyamoto Musashi until your video. I still have this book in my private library. Brilliantly done, your channel keeps getting better and better. Thanks for this information.
@@historyprofiles You’ll enjoy it I’m sure. I also recommend “Marketing Warfare” which is another great book that uses military principles and strategies for use in your business life. In the 1980’s it was a very popular book among executives. If you’re in a reading to learn mood, you might like that also. It was written by Al Ries & Jack Trout. Happy reading!
@@youtubeuser7798 Great question. This book by Donald G. Krause (and others like it) can answer your question better than I can in the limited space here. The title is “The Book of Five Rings for Executives: Musahi’s Classic Book of Competitive Classics.” Happy reading, if you decide to check it out further.

Totally digging the ancient China and Medieval Japan videos Ollie! I'm on a huge Japan kick right now so if you're looking for a good read I recommend "A Brief History of the Samurai" by Jonathan Clements. If I might make a suggestion on a really interesting Samurai Kusunoki Masashige. Thanks Ollie, loving the channel so glad you are back from your hiatus.
Thank you for the recommendation! It sounds like a great read ill make sure to buy a copy, ill look into that samurai too! Thank you for watching the new videos Tom I appreciate it and hope you enjoy the new content :)
History Profiles great hearing from you! I got a copy of it from Audible a couple of months ago. I go back and re-listen now and then. Its one of the best sources I've come across that cover Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea. Most history books only talk about that briefly. Masashige on the other hand is a very interesting rabbit hole to go down. I think you'll really enjoy his story. Next to Musashi he's probably the first guy that pops into your head when you hear the word "Samurai" whether you realize it or not.
He had to, the other guy was known for using a longer sward, so he made a longer oar sward. This goes against the book of 5 rings, but he often just did what worked.
As cool as the idea of a female equivalent of Miyamoto Musashi is (onna bugeisha come to mind), I don't like it when they make someone simply "alluring" or "sexually-desirable".
" My style requires you to wield the longsword (katana) with one hand. It will be difficult at first. But everything is difficult at first." I apply this line to everything in my life and it definitely made me very successful in business. Specializing, discipline in your craft, and never giving up separate you from your competition more than you even realize until you look back over your victories.
What a Wonderful Video! 🤗 I'm a Sub but don't watch as many as maybe I should have been! 💜 I was enchanted from beginning to end! Thanks Mortis brother Olie! 👀✌🙏
I'm only about a third of the way through it so far but the book Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa has been an excellent read and a great depiction of Musashi's life. It's thick (just under 1,000 pages) and can be slow in some parts, but it's a great read none the less.
I have always been entranced by Japanese art from early life, intrigued by the culture - which I know that I will never understand - and have very happy memories of when I was student of Taiko. I was never proficient but. 🤔 🤣 Good wishes x
In one battle he arrived late just to anger his opponent even more and fight him when the sun was at its peak he made the guy fight him facing the sun using it as his advantage he was a master swordsman forealz.
His great fight with Kojiro was a marvelous example of using natural factors in favour of himself according to the principles of Sun Tzu. He arrived late when the sun was in the middle sky. He took position keeping the Sun behind his head and in the duel he jumped and swung his sword from high above the head, when Kojiro looked ethe sword high on Mushsis head, he got temporarily blind because of the light of the scorching Sun and could not block Mushasis stroke.
WTH? Musashi didn’t kill Kojiro with a sword. He pole axed him with a boat oar. That’s how he beat aside Kojiro’s great sword “The Drying Pole.” That’s the best part of the story.
Negative. Rage throws off your thinking. A state of no mind is where it’s at! Having a clear mind can equal to a perfect heart rate while rage can put you in overdrive and throws off your thinking. A clear mind helps aid in training that becomes instinct. Miyamoto meditated a lot in his life. Mediation is the opposite of being in a state of rage.
@@musenenlightened1984 you are talking tactics. I am talking strategy and motivation. ua-cam.com/video/QxdY1CwBzSM/v-deo.html Righteous vengeance is a hell of a drug.
Recommend reading Vagabond, it's a more fictionalized account of life, moreso then the stories that came before. I remember reading a part about him trying to defeat water and had to put the manga down.
Just a little detail about the duels: Musashi would intentionally arrive late to his duels. This was meant as an attempt to anger his opponent, decreasing their focus and making them more aggressive and thus predictable.
So, 3 minutes into the video, I am already a bit confused, you said Musashi came from a farmer's family, that way he could never be a samurai, even a ronin. So is Eiji Yoshikawa totally wrong in his portraying of Myamoto Musashi?
well what really happend is he fought kojiro sasaki with a row he carved to be longer then kojiros sword to give his self the advantege also fought with the sun to his back also its not called a war dress its a kimmono and he was baried standing up in Samurai armor but hey you did good
The video gives very good information about the legendary swordsman, but lacks to focus on the fact that his original name was Takezo and that he belonged to the Shinmen Clan and so his original name was Shinmen Takezo. Also the video lacks to provide any information about his love life with Otsu.
Musashi's father was a Samurai, considered one of the best in Japan during his time, he retired to a farm.
Thank you for that bit of info!
This was absolutely interesting. Never have I heard of him. Thanks Ollie‼️ Stay healthy and safe ❣️🕊️
Nobu Oda And lived
@@HarvestMoon21 Never heard of Brave Fencer Musashi?
He’s regarded as the best swordsman in all of history get it right and show respect
He arrived late to the duels to mess up the composure of his opponents, they got very mad and so did not duel well. The boy was chosen by the warriors, he was 13 or so, and musashi killed him.
it was a good tactic! Thats sad far too young to die by the sword
This reason is not proven at all
Maybe he overslept or anything
Or was thinking of a way to win
That was in some sources
But with the yoshioka it was different
I thought the same, angered them messing with their honor ny being late. But in war there's no rules
@@Harmful-Abdo Maybe he overslept 😅😅😅😅😅
@@victorclabaugh1373 basically he had no honour, might aswel call himself a ninja
Bringing back memories of reading “Vagabond”. Great manga series! Read it all in Borders back when it was still open. Good times.
The water resistant training in the manga totally inspired me!!
I may have to look it up

No matter how much skill, determination, focus, prowess, we all will one day die. And Musashi understood this concept. To even acquire such skill of the sword, sounds made up; it just shows how perfect he was in the art of combat
To think that some people are just gifted to achieve great things, like Ragnar, bujorn Ironside and other warriors and soldiers throughout history.

His duel with sasaki was not done with a sword but a carved ore

He was the most talented & the most intelligent thats why he was unbeatable
This guy deserves a movie respect.
He has a few movies I’m pretty sure
I’ve never heard much about this samurai until today, and I gotta say, mussashi must have been the greatest in japan
Could anybody tell me the composer of the music in this video because I truly enjoy and I want to listen to it
Loved to hear about sasaki kojiro the one man who could stand against musashi eventho sasaki lost
The Book Of Five Rings. If you read this and haven't heard of that book. I suggest looking it up. Interesting read
Thank you for enlighten me on Musashi
Amazing , well done 👏
What I like about japanese samurai it is a way of life and honor not just killing though a lot of killing happened
"this inevitably led to a duel"
Medieval Japan in a nutshell
WTH? Musashi didn’t kill Kojiro with a sword. He pole axed him with a boat oar. That’s how he beat aside Kojiro’s great sword “The Drying Pole.” That’s the best part of the story.
After becoming enlightened and Zen monk he created "No sword school".
Another great video.

Yes, in the fictional novel written by Eiji Yoshikawa. Not necessarily true.
The video gives very good information about the legendary swordsman, but lacks to focus on the fact that his original name was Takezo and that he belonged to the Shinmen Clan and so his original name was Shinmen Takezo.
Also the video lacks to provide any information about his love life with Otsu.
Otsu was a character in a novel, not a real person.
Thanks
Thanks for covering on Asian history.

Didn’t he use a carved boat oar in his fight against Sasaki? That’s a pretty key aspect of the fight
