You will readily understand how these strategies are useful for business, sports, and virtually any competitive situation.

This is a great audiobook for anybody interested in martial arts, competitive strategy, samurai's and their training and ethics, Japan, Japanese culture, Oriental culture and philosophy, and especially the Samurai and Bushido.

This is especially helpful for martial artists in understanding the mental aspects of training and strategy in fighting. Once you listen to this audiobook you will know where Bruce Lee developed most of his fighting philosophy and style from. Pay careful attention to the water and fire chapter and you will see it is almost exactly the same as Bruce Lee developed - except This was written in 1643 - 300 years before Bruce Lee was born. Based upon the life and death fights of Musashi, knowledge gained from his samurai father warrior and almost 20 years of study and reflection solely on martial strategy, Musashi produced the most useful book ever made for one to one individual combat and a very useful study for group combat.

This audiobook explains practical combat theories, training, and execution. It is an original translation and one absolutely unique - IT IS ACCURATELY AND MINIMALLY INTERPRETED ! We have looked at some of the translations available and can say that most of them are abridged (even though they do not admit it) and are highly interpretive ( read opinions of the translator / author added to the material - not from Musashi - how do you know what he actually wrote in these cases ?)

This translation is so accurate ( we translated from a copy of the original 1645 manuscript that Musashi wrote) that we did very minimal correction of the grammatical and verbal problems in translating not only these two very different language, but in changing it to modern language. The result is an audiobook that is often grammatically incorrect, but much more vivid and accurate. Actually, the irony of this is, that this book is much less abstract than others. Because we did not worry about trying to rephrase things to make it pass the English teacher's inspection, we were able to maintain the direct, specific, language and meaning that Musashi imparted.

If you are a stickler for proper English, you may not enjoy this audiobook, however if you want to get the true text and meaning that Musashi wrote and are willing to listen to a few things a couple of times we are sure that you will be very pleased with this translation of The Book of 5 Rings.
