Miyamoto Musashi 宮本武蔵 (1584 – 13 June 1645) was a Japanese swordsman, strategist, artist, and writer who became renowned through stories of his unique double-bladed swordsmanship and undefeated record in his 62 duels. Miyamoto is considered a kensei (sword saint) of Japan. He was the founder of the Niten Ichi-ryū (or Nito Ichi-ryū) style of swordsmanship, and in his final years authored A Book of Five Rings (五輪の書, Go Rin No Sho) and Dokkōdō (獨行道, The Path of Aloneness).
This video explores how to master your emotions through the wisdom of ancient Japanese Samurai Philosophy. Miyamoto Musashi led a life of extreme discipline, focus and mental fortitude. Although we live in a very different world than the one Musashi did, his teachings are more relevant than ever.
