[@MsHellcat08]

That's called Honour. Old school code of ethics.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

that was actually his mistake. He had clearly won, but his "are you all right?" question made his opponent feel insulted (they ambush him in the forest later in the movie for that). He was _too_ polite, even insultingly so (without it being his intention). His wife scolds him later for that. Because he was _better_ than the old school code of ethics of the Japan of his days. (Which later gets explicttly comented upon in the movie). Really, the best cut of the whole movie is delivered by no sword but by his wife's tongue when, at the end of the movie, she _really_ scolds the other samurai for being too honor-obsessed. A masterpiece.

One of my favorite movies showing the true martial way of Mushin. The samurai is undergoing a test for the position of weapons master for the Daimyo. He demonstrates Mushin and wins each contest before it has even begun. He also demonstrates Mushin in his every day life throughout the movie which is called Ame Agaru or After the Rain. A wonderful contrast to the usual Samurai movies' depiction of a martial artist in medieval Japan.

I love the small details like how the master treats the wooden sword like an actual sword, gently drawing it like it actually has a sheath. Unlike the others who just swung it instantly like it didn't had a sheath

[@andrewle7429]

While Kendo is heavily sportorized, your typical starting position is like that, the shinai (or bamboo sword) starts in your left hand complete with the "blade" faced down. You flip the "blade" face up and draw the shinai with your right hand and assume Chudan no kamae. After that you can switch to whatever kamae of course, like the 2nd guy's Jodan no kamae. Of course since it is kendo where you have limited areas to score points on, only 3 kamae are effective or used from what I've seen, in order of most used to least they go: Chudan, Jodan, Gedan. Gedan is the most interesting to see in my opinion, although its partly due to it being rarely used, it is still interesting to see someone score a point using Gedan no kamae, albeit most of the time its a kote (or wrist) point.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

@@andrewle7429 Besides kendo (which is a modern sport), along the movie, the master is shown several times training in the woods alone some Iaido katas. Those can be made with a steel or a wooden sword, but they are always executed exactly the same, with every move, from unsheating to sheating, done as if the sword were steel and _had_ a scabbard. So having him, in this particular scene, treat the wooden sword that way is perfectly in-character.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

@@Helyanthus7 You are mistaken... and not mistaken. It''s a Kurosawa indeed, but not the one you likely think - but his son. Funny history. Akira Kurosawa made the script but didnt film it. It was made with Toshiro Mifune (his most iconic actor and once long-time friend) in mind as the feudal lord. And then, Kurosawa and Mifune had (after filming _Red Beard)_ a severe fall-out, after which the two stubbonly refused to talk each other ever - even to Mifune's death. So the movie was never made. And then, after Akira Kurosawa's death, his son and producer Hisao got in touch with Shiro Mifune, Toshiro's son, and got him to play the part that was meant for his late father. The movie was directed by Kurosawa's former assistant director of 28 years, Takashi Koizumi. All three men basically dedicated the movie to the memory of the two legends.

I guess it goes without saying that this is just a movie. Whats sad is there are schools that did teach foolish techniques involving dodging and fancy moves. Musashi goes into detail about this in the book of five rings. He says any movement made that isn't directly made to end the fight absolutely should be avoided. Theres no point in fighting with the sword other than cutting your opponent down and anything else is foolish and not the true way of a warrior. Less is more when it comes time to fight. Things should be decided immediately in one or two counts. After that, you better get your shit together and figure out what you and your opponent did wrong and fix yourself before he fixes himself.

[@SleepySnorlax133]

musashi was a fraud, a poet that fallowed him around wrote that he cheated in pretty much all hes duels and he lied about it in his writings, like getting his opponents drunk before duels and going at 2 when the count was 3

[@legatomodi3522]

The true way of the sword is to cut your opponent any means necessary in the least amount of time with the least amount of sacrifice. Any action taken that doesn't equal your enemy being defeated is foolish. Not very bushido but what good is bushido when your dead?

Its cool looking but its just unrealistic as hell. Not in form, but just in principle. The purpose of kenjutsu is to end the fight as soon as possible. You strike the moment you get an opportunity. Most fights only lasted a few strikes, especially with such a large skill gap as shown here. The way he avoided each attack without even attempting any sort of counterattack just doesn't conform to the way of the Samurai. He's just playing with his opponent, which was very frowned upon.
