In today’s chapter of The Literate Caveman, we review the Wind Chapter of the book of Five Rings, with a quick look at the Emptiness Chapter.  In this chapter Musashi discusses the shortcomings he saw in other styles of his day, listing out nine specific subjects that he felt led to particularly less-desirable frame of mind for martial artists.  As we review this, we discuss some thoughts on how it relates to today’s martial artists, with a strong emphasis on the corresponding mindset.
