sansoouser Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 who do you think were or are the best fighters. they don't have to be well rounded just good at what they did, preferably a list The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tal Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 The best fighters probably aren't famous, so no one would know their names. If the stories are true, Musashi is about the best fighter I've heard about (especially when it comes to duels). shotokan karate nidanjujitsu shodankendo shodan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granmasterchen Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 miyamoto musashi by far is the best.....and if you haven't had the chance to read his book of five rings, it is a must for all martial artist that are looking to take their skills and knowledge to a new level That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Warlock Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 sano, natural, wado-lee... umm... no. there are no clips of Miyamoto Musashi at work. He lived and died before even cameras were developed, let alone film.

White Warlock Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 no prob. The 'Kensai,' Shinmen Musashi No Kami Fujiwara No Genshin (aka: Miyamoto Musashi), arguably the greatest samurai in history, wrote the book, "Go Rin No Sho" which translates to mean, "A Book of Five Rings." It is required reading in kendo schools and most military academies, as well as recommended reading for business majors. "A Book of Five Rings" is not merely a thesis on strategy, it is in Musashi's words "a guide for those who want to learn strategy." More info here - http://www.samurai.com/5rings/transintro/life.html Here is a copy of his book online - http://www.samurai.com/5rings/ Patrick also presents a good list of books to purchase online, one of them being "The Book of Five Rings" - http://www.karateforums.com/books.php "When you are able to take the keys from my hand, you will be ready to drive." - Shaolin DMV TestIntro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karateguy24 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Soken Matsumra if the stories were true. As well as Gokenki and many others least this is the OKinawa part since I read some of the history. of course Gokenki is chinese I believel Choki Motobu, Hohan Soken. Now days, Randy courture, Oscar Delahoya, Vandereli silva, many other good fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
