"The exercising of weapons putteth away aches, griefs, and diseases, it increaseth strength and sharpeneth the wits, it giveth a perfect judgment, it expelleth melancholy, choleric, and evil conceits, it keepeth a man in breath, in perfect healthe, and long life." – George Silver (1599)

I’ve been reading Lives of Master Swordsmen by Makoto Sugawara, edited by Burritt Sabin.
It is a great book on a number of the great Japanese swordsmen, with great information and is very well written. I’ll be putting up some choice bits.
