More on Musashi's "Five Rings"

Below are some quotes on what strikes me and what applies to Krav Maga fight philosophy.

Pay attention to the mind, not the body.


The observing eye is stronger, the perceiving eye is weaker.

Having a position without a position

A strike is when you consciously and deliberately deliver the blow you intend to strike.

Determine that today you will overcome yourself of the day before.

You can threaten by means of your body, sword and voice.

When an excessive number of sword moves are taught, it must be to commercialize the art and impress beginners of knowledge with many moves.

We Fight


We fight because we fear
We fear because we breath
We breathe because we cling
We cling because we fear

We fight because we defend
We defend because we feel
We feel because we possess
We possess because we fear

We fight because we want
We want because we are not complete
We are not complete because we are
We are because we do not know better
We do not know better because we are human
