"Holding down a shadow" In single combat, hold down the enemy's strong intention with a suitable timing, and defeat him by forestalling him with this timing-Miyamoto Musashi

Can you hold down a shadow in combat?

To hold down a shadow or to not hold down a shadow; that's the question!! Do I have that mindset? I believe that I most assuredly do!!

What worked for Musashi, no matter what it was, worked for him, and was unique for him. I respect that, if nothing else!!
