Miyamoto Musashi - Myths & Legends

Q - How Tall was Musashi?

A - It is understood that musashi was a little over 6 feet tall whereas the average Japanese person was well under 5 feet tall.  This must have given him an advantage in combat as in Go Rin no Sho he writes about 'the body of a rock' and this ability to remain flexible and yet immovable at the same time features heavily in his teachings.
