Fujian Military Academy
"In my strategy, the training for killing enemies is by way of many contests, fighting for survival, discovering the meaning of life and death, learning the Way of the sword, judging the strength of attacks and understanding the Way of the "edge and ridge" of the sword." - Miyamoto Musashi, Book of five rings
"The art of strategy is warrior's craft; he must become familiar with it just as much as a farmer becomes familiar with farming tools; only then he has a chance to be like a tiger, strong enough to defeat the foe." - Miyahara Yataro, Founder of Fujian military academy.
