Musashi Miyamoto's the Two Sword Style 二天一流武蔵会。

　二天一流武蔵会さんの兵道審査会を短い時間だが撮影。わずかな素材を基に、４０秒ほどのイメージ映像を編集してみた。日本古来の武道がもつ荘厳さ、力強さを感じていただけ­れば幸いである。なお、二天一流武蔵会さんは「剣聖・宮本武蔵」の教えを今に伝える、正統な流派である。
　Musashi Miyamoto developed the Two Sword Style to put the two swords into 100 % use.
　Niten ichiryu "Musashi-Kai" has inherited Musashi's Two sword style, and practices it in Kendo

　コメントありがとうございます！　現場に滞在していたのは１時間ほどでしたが、兵道審査会（昇段試­験）の緊張感は凄かったです。

Miyamoto Musashi never practiced Kendo. He practiced Kenjustsu: no helmets, chest guards, face masks, etc, with realistic, true-weight bokken, not the straight bamboo shinai. And actual duels with steel swords for that matter, where life and death counted. 60+ matches (arguably) undefeated. Ichi Ryu Ni To.

Nito Kendo is most definitely not the same as Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu.

@newtubetubetube You are a very curious character. You have said nothing which contradicts anything I said, and yet you end your post with "fuck off". Tourette's?

[CrimsonDragon2505]

I wonder why the two who actually were able to tie with Mussashi didn't become as famous?

[SaaErDetNok]

It often seems to me, that Musashi's status is more of a "western" phenomenon, than a Japanese one. I have the impression, though I may well be mistaken, that in Japan, Musashi is "*a* notable swordsman", and not "the greatest (Japanese) swordsman ever". Individuals such as e.g. Yagyu Jubei have (to my understanding) more prestige in "ken" circles in Japan than Musashi. Which isn't to say, that he was not a notable swordsman - just adding a perspective that wasn't apparent to *me* from day one.

Enlightening discussions in YouTube's comment box? Well I'll be!

But yeah, lumping Kendo and Kenjutsu together is like lumping European Modern Fencing and the European Renaissance Martial Arts together. (doing so will lead to a flunge/fleche coming at you from one direction, and a zornhaw from another.)

[Rikuji20]

@geraldswanson Always nice to see people be aware of the differences between Kendo and Kenjutsu. It is a pity that legitimate Kenjustsu schools are so difficult to find in the USA. Then again, perhaps it is better to keep such an art in its native land

[ducttapesniper42]

@geraldswanson that, and he killed an entire school of highly skilled swordsmen ALL AT ONCE.

[newtubetubetube]

@Gilmaris said "As for how he won his duels: dirty tricks. [...] So it wasn't just swordskills, it was tactics, strategy and audacity."

And bringing a gun to the fight would have been a better strategy by your definition of 'strategy'. The best strategy is not going to any fight, only a retard go to a fight. Musashi only learned that late in life and has many regrets about this. Also, he was beaten by Gonnosuke the first time. Fuck off!

[newtubetubetube]

@geraldswanson Musashi is a fraud, Gonnosuke beat him square and fair. After that defeat, Musashi retired from duel. Lesson learned.

@Gilmaris

There are recorded instances in the Nitoichiryu. (Not to be confused with the modern "Niten Ichi Ryu" which also claims direct lineage to Musashi. There are also instances recorded in the Nitenki. Of course, being that the Japanese were notoriously terrible historians, and none of us were alive at the time, I suppose we will each just have to believe what we believe.

[blackcerberus79]

@Gilmaris

Yeah, the idea that Gonnosuke used the shorter staff is from the novel by Eiji Yoshikawa. It has no basis in reality. And no, that quote is from the 35/42 Articles of Heiho. It is commonly misquoted because people use all four texts to translate. The book of Five Rings, in the passage you are trying to quote, translates into English roughly as, "It is better to use two swords rather than one when you are fighting a crowd and especially if you want to take a prisoner. "
