A Japanese swordsman known for arriving late got an amazing vicotry by arriving early! Check this out.

Miyamoto Musashi was a Japanese swordsman that was born sometime in 1584, and died of natural causes on June 13, 1645.

Although he was incredibly skilled, his talent alone wasn't what made him a renowned warrior.

Miyamoto Musashi earned his fame when he challenged a master of the Yoshioka School to a duel. Musashi arrived late, which irritated his opponent who would end up losing.

Ownership of the school was passed to the owner's brother, Yoshioka Denshichiro.

Once again, Musashi arrived late, and bested his opponent in a single blow. The ownership of the school was then passed to a 12-year old named Yoshioka Matashichiro.

They assembled a group of archers, musketeers and swordsmen, and challenged Musashi to a duel.

The plan was the group that had assembled were going to wait for Musashi to arrive late, and ambush him when he appeared for the duel.

Little did they know that Musashi was going to break his habit of arriving late, and arrive incredibly early. His early arrival led him to ambush the group of men trying to ambush him!
