Video - The Odor Warrior: The Legend of Samurai Musashi Miyamoto

Did you know that the legendary samurai Musashi Miyamoto, who lived in the 17th century, was so dedicated to his warrior lifestyle that he refused to take baths? That’s right, Musashi believed that bathing made him vulnerable to surprise attacks by his enemies. He thought that being clean was a luxury he couldn't afford, because who has time for soap when you're busy being Japan's most feared swordsman? Musashi was so committed to this idea that he even slept with his sword to be ready at a moment's notice! Imagine the smell—he must have been the original "odor warrior." But hey, if you’re undefeated in over 60 duels, maybe you can get away with a bit of funk. And here's a twist: despite his hygiene habits, Musashi authored "The Book of Five Rings," a timeless text on strategy and martial arts. So next time you skip a shower, just remember, you’re one step closer to being a samurai legend! Have any quirky habits that make you feel invincible? Share in the comments!
