@Pain Face You are right that the way it is being presented in these comments is likely made up. The closest thing I have found to the truth regarding Musashi using a wooden sword is that he once faced an opponent in a duel who used an extremely long nodachi as his preferred weapon (japanese long sword with a long hilt, typically used to dismount horsemen). In that duel, Musashi wanted a weapon that could outrange Kojiro's Nodachi, so Musashi cut the oar from the boat he arrived in into a crude training sword that was about 4 inches longer than a traditional Nodachi. His opponent was not expecting it and Musashi landed the first blow which broke several of his opponents ribs and punctured his lung, taking him out of the fight. Kojiro was a renowned swordsman, so this was probably the only way Musashi could win and live without taking greivous injuries of his own. I have not seen any accounts of Musashi going into war with a wooden sword. I think most of those tales are people mis-reading this duel, or assuming that he always fought like that. Some accounts say that Musashi's first strike crushed Kojiro's skull, but either way it was a one time thing. Musashi carried steel into battle 99.9% of the time.
He fought in 2 wars? I didnt know that... gives me goosebumps. I will learn more about him, he is truly an inspiration and many of his words I am experiencing in myself, especially when I exercise.

The most difficult fight is the fight against my self- the final battle, if won, leads to highest realization: Self-mastery is the ultimate form of power- power itself.
For those who tread the lonesome road, safe travels and when you find yourself at the end of the road, amongst the common bustle, they will be in awe of your presence.
I was lost on the path for many years, constantly searching for a place to find stability. Only when I accepted the instability that life is did I begin to find myself, the more I look within the more I discover I'm capable of. Instead of focusing on the path of others or attempting to walk the same, I have begun to look for the other paths to the top of the mountain.
“Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.” - Let that marinate for a minute.
there is nothing closer to one than oneself. Thats why fearless self inventory is one of the most difficult things to do. Also why the power of the mirror trumps both the others.
@@ericwalker6546 I wouldn't say all. I wouldn't even say majority. There's a reason Musashi stands out, because he LIVED and BREATHED these teachings. Many people simply spoke it but walked the path of ego in disguise. Kind of like modern day religious figures. They can recite every line in the bible, but as soon as something goes wrong... every teaching is out the window. Edit: Look up modern day "Jerusalem church chair war". A fucking chair being MOVED, "holy" people started hurting each other...
Being alone opens up so many different possibilities/opportunities to try new things and get to know yourself. The world is literally yours nothing is stopping you!
Most philosophers and composers, painters, etc, have been loners, and Musashi certainly was no exception. "To feel comfortable in society, to know the ways of the world, especially at a young age, is the sign of a vulgar mind." "Great minds are like eagles: they are only found dwelling on the lofty peaks of solitude.". -Schopenhauer
I read his Rama’s book. The Book of Five Ring. Go Rin No Sho. Been living and training with his words for 30 years. He the reason why I stated training Kendo.
I’ve was training in Escrima with one or two stick for years before I started Shotokan. Japanese BUDO led me to Musashi. So it was natural for me two train with two swords. I will never fight a sword battle with multiple attackers. I hope not. But it’s still training. And not at all easy to do. Both independent to each other. Or together as one. In Shotokan I started for a lot of reason. But one thing that really showed the structure of Shotokan is. WHAT WE DO ON THE RIGHT WE DOON THE LEFT AS WELL.That was very critical for me. For as habit I favored my left hand stance than my right. Shotokan got me out of that. Left right doesn’t matter. I study Aikido now as well. And a instructor informed me that. “ THERE ARE NO LEFT HAND SWORDSMAN”. He might as well said. There are NO BLACK SWORDSMAN. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I was like ok. Whatever. Why would you limit yourself n such way. Life or death. No cares if YOYR right handed or left handed. I just basically ignored it. Not after reading Go Rin No Sho. Which took my martial training to a universal spiritual physical journey. And never looked back. There is just something so free, so lively,so real, as our training and journey in martial arts. My challenges is not how many opponent I can conquer. My challenge is. How can I conquer myself. N
Some make sense but others leave me scratching my head. 1. Accept everything just the way it is. 2. Do not seek pleasure for its own sake. 3. Do not, under any circumstances, depend on a partial feeling. 4. Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world. 5. Be detached from desire your whole life long. 6. Do not regret what you have done. 7. Never be jealous. 8. Never let yourself be saddened by a separation. 9. Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself nor others. 10. Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love. 11. In all things have no preferences. 12. Be indifferent to where you live. 13. Do not pursue the taste of good food. 14. Do not hold on to possessions you no longer need. 15. Do not act following customary beliefs. 16. Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful. 17. Do not fear death. 18. Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age. 19. Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help. 20. You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honour. 21. Never stray from the Way.” ― Miyamoto Musashi
@@OrionPhilosophy I think your absolutely right. Much like anything that comes down to us from history. We must take into account the culture and time which negates some altogether.... But the best approach to things of a philosophical nature your best to keep what resonates and leave the rest . Great little post tks
All the things you quoted can easily be placed within the Buddhist eight-fold path, they all make great sense within that context without having to stretch things.
Never has a 5 minute youtube video ever sent a shower down my spine like this. We're we once all warriors in a past life? Or is it in everything, the philosophy of life, is to fight.. fluidly
@Miles Stone - I seriously wonder why I am listening to this, if everything I seek is within me. The idea of one man trying to gain wisdom from another man, is questionable at best, even if you have the very rare opportunity to really spend a lot of time, maybe many years, with a truly wise man.
The reader sounded so much like my Kempo teacher that it sent chills down my spine. I just got educated, enlightened and had an emotional eruption from a damn RUclips video.
I always come back to this video, the way the narrator speaks is so powerful. There’s something equally peaceful and equally motivating about the way he speaks the words of a truly wise man. Musashi wasn’t just a great swordsman, he was a great thinker. A true Warrior Philosopher.
"The true science of martial arts means practicing them in such a way that they will be useful at any time.." I guess this is true to everything you will be practicing.
I have been a fan of this man and his incredible life story for years!! He has left a true imprint on this world which is quite a testament based on what he came from. Thank you for This! 🙏
Deep words that cut at the soul of a Warrior. So true and yet so contemporary. Ready oneself for the final battle than is near at hand. Great Wisdom handed down to those who need them.

It's not really crazy at all, when you're walking the same path you'll see things that others who took it before you saw. I fully understand many zen koens immediately after hearing them, and the ones I don't just means I haven't made it down to that part of the path yet.
Living in my car, intermittent fasting most of the day due to extreme poverty. A lot of these lessons, I'm learning due to the friction of life. Very grateful to have discovered for myself the works of Musashi. True Mastery is a form of Art holds countless lessons, or something I ain't him lol Cheers !

All of my life I have tried to find friends and happiness in others and now I am old and realized that finding friendship in one's self is the way to have peace.
It took me about 40 years to genuinely understand this concept. It hurts a lot. Especially at first...but once you really accept it, the rest of your life will be better off.
@@andyappleton3353 I couldn't agree more , but it's weird this gets crammed into my head by everyone and I'm forced to accept it, and others often seem to mention it if I don't......., but when I do the same to say .... multiple people or family or the masses it's ironic they literally can't handle it , (I'm thinking about work or making $ at the moment which is obviously important but there are other ex's too) lol! It's so weird how nothing is what it seems these days, on or with social media especially.
It's best to take a few years for each quote, to really grow with it, to properly digest it and to incorporate it; however, it's fun to just have them as a quick insight, forgotten instantly.
@@sirzechs3844 No its in reference the t.v. show Beavis and Butthead. Here's a clip ruclips.net/video/zH2-SqgJTlU/видео.html and the whole skit www.dailymotion.com/video/x7mr1j4
Most people fear this path because they are afraid of being alone, afraid of being drenched in the darkness, is it wrong that I prefer to be alone even if many want me around.
Great words of wisdom to follow. Sadly, I don't have much willpower. I easily stray from the path. But I still appreciate the sayings and maybe someday, I'll actually follow them
"Seek nothing outside of yourself..." -> *turns off the youtube video* (can't listen to the rest because it is outside of myself) LOL. Just kidding. This philosophy is powerful when properly applied.

Beautiful. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing this to us.
great video, but it does not contain the most imporant quote of Musashi. Guess what it is?
Such a "brood" foundation . . . .
Hello, what is the tittle of this soundtrack?
Over 60 duels (most were to the death), 2 wars, and he died of old age.
I think the man might have something to say.
Always be careful of the old man in a game that the young die
Not only that. Somehow it was mentioned historically that at an older age he fought in a war using a wooden training sword wtf.

Tell me about it. It's driving me crazy.
All of my life I have tried to find friends and happiness in others and now I am old and realized that finding friendship in one's self is the way to have peace.

It took me about 40 years to genuinely understand this concept. It hurts a lot. Especially at first...but once you really accept it, the rest of your life will be better off.
@@andyappleton3353 I couldn't agree more , but it's weird this gets crammed into my head by everyone and I'm forced to accept it, and others often seem to mention it if I don't......., but when I do the same to say .... multiple people or family or the masses it's ironic they literally can't handle it , (I'm thinking about work or making $ at the moment which is obviously important but there are other ex's too) lol! It's so weird how nothing is what it seems these days, on or with social media especially.

"Truth is not what you want it to be, it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie"
You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain.
Actually, this is telling us about the adaptabillity of humans.
Most of these are worth living by! 👍👌👏

It's best to take a few years for each quote, to really grow with it, to properly digest it and to incorporate it; however, it's fun to just have them as a quick insight, forgotten instantly.
I love quotes from old people they have a charm to them that make them authentic plus wise
🙏
He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

Lol!
Is this a reference to a manga? Strongest Anti Meta?
@@sirzechs3844 No its in reference the t.v. show Beavis and Butthead. Here's a clip ruclips.net/video/zH2-SqgJTlU/видео.html and the whole skit www.dailymotion.com/video/x7mr1j4
I am becoming that mountain just need to pick a path. Thanks for sharing
No worries
Most people fear this path because they are afraid of being alone, afraid of being drenched in the darkness, is it wrong that I prefer to be alone even if many want me around.
Nope
You a loser.
Great words of wisdom to follow.
Sadly, I don't have much willpower.
I easily stray from the path.
But I still appreciate the sayings and maybe someday, I'll actually follow them
The guy that plays Tatsu in the original 1990's ninja turtles movie, is a direct descendant of Miyamoto.
@Martin Čelko yes sir
Some people need others to validate what and who they are. Some need only themselves.
The narrator's voice is so deep and smooth & relaxing, may i know how i get my voice like that ?😅
Haha, thanks 😂
I wish I could listen through this voice along whole day
Please make some similar long duration videos 🙏
"Seek nothing outside of yourself..." -> *turns off the youtube video* (can't listen to the rest because it is outside of myself)
LOL. Just kidding. This philosophy is powerful when properly applied.
😂
😆😆that's a point!!!!
Inner strength is greatly important. Humility, knowing that some things are bigger than you, allows growth.
