The Blow Like a Spark from a Stone
- The Blow Like a Spark from a Stone
The Blow Like a Spark from a Stone a philosophical method that had been employed by the legendary Miyamoto Musashi within the Gorin no sho during the Edo period (17th century) of Japan. If you are currently within a situation in which you and your opponent's swords are to clash, you must strike extremely hard without raising you sword to any extent. This is 'The Blow Like a Spark from a Stone' technique. If you are to perform this technique, you must first strike quickly with the three combined forces of your legs, your hands, and your body. This blow will be rather difficult to perform if you do not train within it at frequent times. If you are to reflect diligent training, you will be able to increase the overall force of the technique's impact.
