people don´t turn invisible through poses.

It's not invisible as that's name for the technique I employed with postures as that's the proper name for stances. Kinda technical on that aspect. Oh that was simply due to accelerated footwork from the dash using at speeds greatly below Shinsoku. And I employed hidden offensive stance that if mastered can erode at the will of said foe. Hope that explains it. Never went invisible using footwork is all.

ok, let me put this on clean plates:


Your descriptions are probably transcripts or are made in such a way that is nearly impossible to understand to anyone who does not bear the knowledge in sword fighting that you do. Sure, I´ll concede you probably know a lot more than I do about the subject and this whatever his name was guy, may be for all I know , the greatest swordsman of all time.


But one thing is for certain:


The descriptions you are giving me can only be one of two things: either so cryptic I cannot understand them at all, or so full of metaphorical (I hope it´s meant to be metaphorical) bu*****t that I can´t just accept it.


Take "eroding someone´s will". sure, I can see this making someone hesitate for a split second or something, but do you expect me to believe that a person will loose their fighting spirit or their whatever because you moved in a certain way?

Oh that's swordsmanship spirit as well otherwise known as killing intent. Something that has been around since the Genpei War. Kagekiyo Taira/Yoshitine Minamoto are masters of this technique. This can used to stop someone one's will but if a mastered used it does like a said. Also Musahi Miyamoto is one the greatest swordsman in Japan's history called the brave fencer. Only he lost two duels in his life. Besides that point is only someone who has weak swordsmanship spirit would bend. Suke would not fall to this offensive stance. Again swordsmanship dwells in the physical/spiritual aspects so it's understandable. 

Well there's a concept of clash of wills exchanged when crossing blades,that you're able to convey your will. That means if someone who's a more refined Bushi(noble warrior) vs equal type. That means your will is a weapon that is mental sharpness that should have these elements


Fluid like water,ferocious like fire,firm like earth,expanding like wood,and lastly dense like metal. Thus being the Goyu five elements in Ki/Qi/Chi.

Except that´s not fact. It´s a cultural belief. Yes, I won´t deny that the man was a great swordsman, but that doesn´t imply his every technique, even nonsensical ones, has grounds. Anyway, I´ll let it pass this time but I´ll leave the warning here: Unless I can accept the fundament for something according to logical or scientific sense, I will only accept ordinary sword fighting and powers.

It's written in the book of five rings. In the world of swordsmanship logic sometimes is thrown out the window. As between two swordsman of equal level this is well something I believe only true swordsman can grasp. Fair enough but in clashing of blades is in all sense illogical dance,but again all my knowledge is known among modern day practitioners. I'll refrain from certain I'd say master level techniques/concepts as it seems to be a conflict of issue. I use logic yes but it's the thing swordsmanship is logical/illogical paradox among master level Bushi.   

without logic there is no truth.

Maybe but the book of the void explains the concept of my will.


The Book of Void[SIZE=small][[/SIZE]edit]



Although short, the void book lists, philosophically, the nature of both human knowledge and other things. The void book expressly deals with "That which cannot be seen".



"By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist."




The Book of Nothing, according to Musashi, is the true meaning of the strategy of Ni Ten Ichi Ryu. It seems very esoteric in nature because he emphasizes that you must learn to perceive that which you cannot understand or comprehend. He notes that in this Void, what can be comprehended are things which we do and see, such as the way of the warrior, martial arts, and Ni Ten Ichi Ryu. At the same time, in the Void, things we do not do or see (which he calls Spirit) are part of the information which we perceive on a conscious level, but with which we have no physical relationship. It is arguable whether Musashi is referring to religious spirituality or if he is actually explaining a way to live a life and to process thoughts.



"In the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the Way has existence, spirit is nothingness."

I´d be happy to debate about the matter if you so wish. However, until such time as someone convinces me to accept those beliefs, my actions will be dictated by my own beliefs, which in case prevent me from accepting that.

That's fine your choice some other time. But I explained my techniques employed in my attack.

yeah you did. And as I said, as soon as any of it has impact, just keep in mind that I have certain principles whose violation I will not accept.
