9 Principles of Strategy from the Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi

This is an analysis of Musashi’s 9 Principles of Strategy outlined in the Ground Book (aka Book of Earth) in his greatest work “The Book of 5 Rings”. Since you guys seemed to enjoy the Dokkodo video I wanted to make something similar pertaining to Musashi’s works. I found these to be incredibly insightful and interesting, more geared towards war, in my opinion than Dokkodo. Again, I saw many similarities to Stoic philosophy and the teachings of Bruce Lee. The more I learn about him or delve deeper into who he was, I see Musashi as the ultimate Warrior Philosopher. I hope you guys enjoy and let me know any suggestions below.
