‘In Japan, the term nito-ryu, or two-sword style, is often used to describe someone with dual talents, such as baseball player Ohtani Shohei. The word was initially used to describe the fighting style of a legendary swordsman who lived over 400 years ago: Miyamoto Musashi. He fought over 60 duels and was never defeated. His success is attributed to his philosophies. Join us as we discover the truth about this legendary warrior and his philosophies, which remain relevant today.’ – NHK
