@dragondisaster actually Japanese dont have dragons in their culture.the dragons are achinese culture adoption.
-
@teagm003 Initially I was, but then I realized that East Asians do not have dragons, daimyos did not live in castles and the chinese monarch is not called an emperor. Its quite common to use substitute words for subjects that are similar in another culture to the speaker.

He didn't "find peace", he probably just lost the energy to fight when he got old (plus he had a track record that satisfied him and hence less of a need to prove something by winning duels). Reading the "Book of Five Rings" I didn't get the impression he viewed the world the same way modern samurai do. He was really good at what he did - fighting people, not just physically but mentally as well. Perhaps that doesn't make him a good role model in this age, but again - that's irrelevant.

From the Ground Book: "The warrior is different in that studying the Way of Strategy is based on overcoming men. By victory gained in crossing swords with individuals, or enjoining battle with large numbers, we can attain power and fame for ourselves or our lord. This is the virtue of strategy."
Sounds pretty "distorted" to me. I don't blame the guy or anything. He lived in a different age than we do, so I don't know why people feel the need to justify the way he conducted himself.
-
@JustAnAdjunct Maybe. But historically, it can be argued that Musashi used all that he learned by the end of life to find peace. Perhaps his life was one journey away from "distortion".

I'm practicing jiu-jitsu tomorrow is my second lesson, so I'm only a white belt but it's never too late to start(I'm 14) and I like to learn an old art like jiu-jitsu it's not only hand to hand combat but I will learn to handle a sword and Bo too.
