THE BOOK OF THE FIVE CIRCLES
Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645), the best swordsman of his generation and perhaps the most legendary samurai warrior in history. He wrote towards the end of his life and undefeated after more than sixty duels, the Book of the Five Circles. One of the most insightful and penetrating strategic thinking texts ever written.
THE BOOK OF THE FIVE CIRCLES
Musashi bestows upon generations that follow timeless advice for achieving victory on any battlefield. To surprise, confuse, lose the opponent's balance, parry and quickly neutralize him. But the basic principle of his martial art consists not only in perfecting the technical skill but in parallel sharpening the perception and cultivating the spirit of the warrior.
THE BOOK OF THE FIVE CIRCLES
The apprentice samurai will have to draw on his own real experiences if he is to cope, and in this his mind will help him far more than his technique. In exactly the same way, the more one immerses and deepens in the principles of authentic martial art, the more effortlessly one gains the wisdom of life and victory in its daily struggles. That is why the Book of Five Circles has been appreciated over the years not only by fans of martial arts or Japanese culture. But by anyone who is called upon to face challenges and conflicts of all kinds on a constant basis.

THE BOOK OF THE FIVE CIRCLES
The legendary wandering samurai Miyamoto Musashi.
Few samurai have been so immortalized in modern times. Even fewer have left such a legend in the passage of historical time as the most famous swordsman to emerge from the Edo Period, ronin Musashi.
Countless literary works. Theatrical and film scripts set out to commemorate the brilliant biography of the samurai who became greater than the legend himself. Whose swordsmanship skills seem to have been second to none throughout Japan.
