The music and story telling was fantastic
Loved this even though i'm not a sword fighter or in need of knowing this I still loved learning it and imagining I was back in mid 1600s Japan

Why the flute?
If you want to appreciate the philosophy of a warrior from Asia, it is of course impossible without putting a misterious flute between each chapter.

nice summary of strategy
Easy to listen to. very applicable to today's combat sports. I learned something so it has value.

horrible
The narrator invokes NOTHING of the legendary warrior. This is unlistenable. Give me someone who sounds less like a balding white guy with glasses who has never left his tie and briefcase let alone the USA.
