So, what kind of person is Musashi Miyamoto? How high is his martial arts? In A.D. 1584, Musashi Miyamoto was born in a swordsman's home in Miyamura, Yoshino Prefecture, a beautiful country. His father, Xin Mianwuerzhai, was very excited because his lifelong obsession with fencing finally got a successor. In his excitement, his father named this precious son Xin Mianwu Zang, later known as Musashi Miyamoto. As a child, Musashi showed extraordinary martial arts talent. His arm strength is extraordinary. He can not only knock down a strong man by himself, but also overturn a strong buffalo. However, Musashi's childhood was not happy, and he had to face his strict father all the time. Because in his father's eyes, a swordsman must be rigorous and strong.
At the age of seven, my father died suddenly, and my mother died soon after. The helpless Musashi was put in foster care at his uncle's house before he could understand his father's biography. Fortunately, my uncle is a Zen master, so he didn't relax his training for Musashi and continued to hone his will. Musashi was born a martial arts wizard. Even without the guidance of his father, he learned some excellent swordsmanship by studying hard with his love for kendo. /kloc-when he was 0/3 years old, Musashi met his first opponent in his life-the famous kendo master Ma Xibingwei.
In his early years, Musashi knew that his swordsmanship was shallow and far from being an opponent of Ma and Wei. After dodging several sharp offensives from his opponent, Musashi made a dash, grabbed Ma and Wei, lifted him high, fell to the ground, and killed him with a wooden stick. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, Musashi easily defeated a so-called "strong" military adviser in Malaysia. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, Musashi had achieved great success, decided to join the army, and made a splash in the "Battle of the Imperial Garden". With his sharp knife skills and fast moving skills, he became a fierce soldier under Fukuda Xiu.
However, the battle ended in the failure of the western army, and Musashi left the battlefield and began his journey of learning and practicing martial arts. I visited the most famous swordsmen in Japan at that time, such as Shinto Stream, Shadow Stream and Zhongtiao Stream, and fought with them one by one. In the course of the competition, Musashi gradually discovered the weaknesses of various schools, especially the tactics of being outnumbered. It was also in this process that Musashi chose two swords, the long sword and the short sword, as his side weapons, and thus founded the "second-class" Kendo school and became the founder of this school.
Musashi participated in more than 60 duels in his life, but never lost, which is a godlike existence in the history of Japanese kendo. Among these battles, the most legendary is the duel with swordsman Sasaki Kojiro. At that time, Kojiro was already a famous expert in kendo, and he was in the limelight. He actively challenged Musashi. This duel, like the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue in Gu Long's works, caused a sensation in Japanese martial arts. The duel was held in Funashima, and the owner of Kokura, Hosokawa, served as the referee on the spot.
Kojiro dressed up within the specified time, wearing a red sleeveless jacket, a ripe leather color, long hair shawl, holding a sword in her arms, solemnly standing in the wind, quietly waiting for the arrival of Musashi. Unexpectedly, Musashi was late in the long-awaited showdown peak of local people. When Musashi appeared in Kojiro's sight, it was already two hours later than the appointed time. However, Musashi obviously did it on purpose. After landing, he slowly rushed over and made a long sword with an oar. Kojiro couldn't help it. As soon as he saw Musashi, he rushed over with a sword and asked him why he was late.
I saw Musashi slowly lift wood blade, four feet two inches long, to the eyebrows, without words, just staring at Kojiro, full of murderous look. Kojiro felt the pressure of the coming war and pulled out his own sword. However, due to excessive force, the scabbard flew out and was discharged into the river. When Musashi saw this, he laughed and laughed at Kojiro for being so nervous that he dropped his scabbard. Musashi's action completely angered Kojiro. He rushed to Musashi angrily, and the two men split their swords decisively. Kojiro's sword dropped Musashi's headscarf to the ground, while Musashi's wood blade was firmly stuck in the middle of Kojiro's eyebrows, and the result of the duel was already clear.
Kojiro after the sword, shaking the body back a few steps, musashi holding a wooden knife, coming to Kojiro step by step. When Kojiro was bleeding to the ground, Musashi had come to him. Kojiro was dying, waving a sword and trying to stand up. Musashi didn't give him a chance, so he stabbed wood blade into Kojiro's chest. Later generations commented that, in fact, Musashi and Kojiro were evenly matched in fencing, and the key to Musashi's clean victory was his deliberation, such as deliberately being late, holding homemade wood blade and laughing at Kojiro. All these angered Kojiro and made him lose his due calm and judgment.
Kojiro in the chaos actually lost before the duel began. Musashi Miyamoto was not only obsessed with swordsmanship all his life, but also good at calligraphy and painting, leaving behind his swordsmanship, The Warring States Policy, On the Art of War, The Five Wheels Book, The Preface of Five Taidao Daos, Thirty-five Articles of Art of War and other works. He was a swordsman, strategist and artist at the end of the Warring States Period in Japan. However, Musashi acted strangely all his life. It is said that in order to prevent being ambushed, Musashi never took a bath all his life, was unkempt all the year round, and mopped the floor in his nightgown, even on rainy days. 1645, Musashi Miyamoto died at the age of 62.
