Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy’s sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this, If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching,… you will not be able to actually cut him. – Miyamoto Musashi
“You should not have any special fondness for a particular weapon, or anything else for that matter….Too much is that same as not enough, Without limiting anyone else, you should have as much weaponry as suits you.” – Miyamoto Musashi
