Summary

The Book of Five Rings (五輪書, Go Rin no Sho) is a text on kenjutsu (sword fighting), and combat in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645.

The modern-day warrior employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy.

Carefully adapted into modern English for easy listening.

Enjoy.
