The Strike of Nonthought

The Strike of Nonthought

The Strike of Nonthought a rather ordinary philosophical standard of thought throughout the lives of the swordsman primarily during the Edo period (16th century) of Japan. This philosophy is primarily taught by Miyamoto Musashi, in which it is told that you should always make your mind into a mind that is striking, and your body into a body that is striking when you and your adversary are about to launch an attack. If this method is followed, your hand will attain movement through emptiness, with speed and power, without taking note of any point in which movement had begun. This is a famed philosophical method within swordsmanship and is of prime importance within a swordsman's training.
