"As I see society, people make the arts into commercial products; they think of themselves as commodities, and also make implements as items of commerce. Distinguishing the superficial and the substantial, I find this attitude has less reality than decoration. The field of martial arts is particularly rife with flamboyant showmanship, with commercial popularization and profiteering on the part of both those who teach the science and those who study it. The result of this must be, as someone said, that "amateuristic martial arts are a source of serious wounds."
—Miyamoto Musashi, 1643 A.D.

"The action I am taking is no more than a radical measure to hasten the explosion of truth and justice.

Let them dare, then, to bring me before a court of law and let the enquiry take place in broad daylight!"
