Quotes by Kenji Tokitsu (?)

“But what does “dominating the opponent without killing him” mean in a fight to the death? What is worthy of thinking about here is that this has nothing to do with the application of an ethical outlook; rather, it is the culmination of a development in combat technique. In the warrior culture, which was based from the beginning on pragmatism, ethics and philosophy are the products of technique. Technique here came to take in the total human being. The technical quest thus included the mental state without which it is impossible to reach technical perfection.”
― Kenji Tokitsu, Miyamoto Musashi: His Life and Writings
