●Facts You Didn't Want to Know About Miyamoto Musashi
https://youtu.be/LTgaFitZCsk

Miyamoto Musashi is one of the most well known samurai swordsmen in Japanese history and he is very famous for being a dual katana fighter.

But why did he use two katana swords?

Miyamoto Musashi won more than 60 duels in his 20s, and participated in three major wars and survived them all. Musashi devoted his whole life to studying and mastering the art of swordsmanship until the very last day of his life. All of his findings have been documented in a book called "The Book of Five Rings".

His core belief was that a samurai must be trained to be able to properly fight in any environment. That‘s why he taught everything from how to use dual katana, various forms, and even the correct mindset during a battle.

A person who only knows how to use a single katana with both hands will not be able to fight properly when his arm is injured, when he runs, or when he suddenly has to ride a horse.

But in other words, if you’re in a situation where fighting with two swords is a disadvantage, you should immediately hold a single sword with both hands. The important teaching of Musashi is to fight in a way that is most advantageous to you.
