Book by a Japanese Samurai...written in 1645...is a resource for gaining insight into the mind of the warrior spirit and the art of strategy...

Like The Art of War, it's about how to gain advantage over your opposition...

But, 5 rings focuses mainly on how to win during confrontation...

Also, just like The Art of War, it's truly about being in control of one's self.

Lol thanks thats ny quote haha


but a sick is one from muhammad ali its something like

in order to be the greatest, you have to believe youre the greatest

No contest can ever reveal truth, only real combat. Thus, the path that leads to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant."


ok first off thats not a dope quote.its gay..........thats probally why you like it.ignorant means to not want to learn what you dont know.if you dont know then you cant possible be concealing the truth because you dont know what it is.not to mention that the question will remain..... what is truth?what may be true to me may not be to you.truth is only what the majoritys thoughts are on a matter.even death is not truth because some people believe that the body adds to the life of the earth and therefore continues to live on while others believe in a afterlife therefore believing that you never actually die because to die is to end and eternal life is to live forever.if i am always told that the sky is green and i believe that in my heart to be true then even when the sky is blue,i will still say it is green and that will be MY truth.the truth of the majority will be that it is blue and therefore that will be considered the truth.maybe everyone else is wrong and then what?understand?probally not and thats the problem..........

You think way too hard, it's a dope quite man.

I would agree, except there's one thing we disagree on.

The fact that you can critically fucking think. Maybe you should re-read and re-apply. Lol @ all the bullshit you just overloaded at nothing.

Here, let me break it down for you, budd-o.

"No contest can ever reveal truth, only real combat. Thus, the path that leads to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant."

The contest is to reveal the truth of WHO IS BETTER. Contest - Tournament - Battle, etc. So by saying no contest can reveal who is better, it's saying that essentially, the littered bodies of the ignorant were trying to find out who was better by fighting to the death, lost, and though still might have been better, lost their fucking lives. 'Cuz they ignorant.

Basically, all it says is that there are good and bad things to fight to the death for, but being better than another person can only be decided momentarily, and whether you win or lose just counts for that one time, but to lose is losing the chance to ever see if you'll be better- again.

I won't ask if you understand it anymore. Just keep reading my description, you just really failed to understand it here.

And as for the rest of you, don't break down a quote until you're sure you know what it means.

And you are now officially "The Man!"...lol

All I have to say is...check this book out...

I'm reading about "strategic posture" now...It even tells you how to maintain your facial features when in combat or engaged in conflict with someone...


E.G....Narrow the eyes...Don't wrinkle the forehead...Flare your nostrils...and keep your head straight...


^^coo stuff

this seems odd to me...combat is a contest.

the only way this makes sense...or...isn't redundant i should say..is if musashi is meaning combat in an entirely different context than the way it is implied.
