Ganryu

On April 14, 1612, Musashi Miyamoto and Sasaki Kojirō dueled. Musashi had an opportunity to see Kojiro’s sword sometime before the duel and knew of its long length, so Musashi made his sword even longer. When Musashi arrived on the beach for the duel, he jumped over a low strike of Kojiro’s, reaching about a meter off the ground and came down on Kojiro’s head with his heavy wooden sword. Kojiro lay dying on the sand and Musashi left without killing him. Some of Musashi’s critics called Musashi a coward for not killing Kojiro, but Musashi was satisfied that Kojiro had been defeated, but Kojiro comes back from the dead to try to kill Musashi.
