Talk:Hakuda (Seireitou)

Seikentsuki
I was reading through the description and I was brought back to a reading of Musashi's Book of Five Rings. While the analogy of "it is as different as a jab or a punch" may give some insight, I believe another analogy is better suited. Miyamoto described in some length the difference between a hit and a strike. That being a hit is something of chance, unintentional, while a strike had all of the intent and focus behind it that you would expect of a martial artist. In this vein, prior to reaching that state, all previous attacks were merely hits hurled at the opponent, but once you have mastered the strike... as Zangetsu put it, it is the difference between knowing the name of a technique and not knowing the name of a technique. The power between them is worlds apart, might as well be another form of attack altogether. I think that was what you were getting at, but had some trouble putting it into words. That or I'm reading WAY too much into this. --- Abysmal Shadows (Talk) 04:43, November 29, 2015 (UTC)
