The Book of Five Rings: Interpretation of Miyamoto Musashi's Strategy

Stephen Kaufman, a renowned martial artist and bestselling author, has translated this classic with a focus on Musashi's martial teachings, free from academic or commercial bias. The result is an enthralling combination of warrior wisdom and philosophical truths that Musashi offered to other warriors who wished to master the martial way of bushido. In the Book of Earth, Kaufman lays the groundwork for those seeking to understand Musashi's teachings, while the Book of Water explains the warrior's approach to strategy. The Book of Fire teaches fundamental fighting techniques based on the Earth and Water principles, and the Book of Wind describes the differences between Musashi's martial style and the styles of other fighting schools. Finally, the Book of No-Thing delves into the "way of nature" as understood through an "unthinking" existing preconception.
