Hello everyone,

I’ve just started posting the latest Drako the Barbarian story. This one is called “The Body Strike”. This is rated “A” for adults and contains sex, nudity, drug use and violence and is not office safe. It can be found here:

The body strike is another Samurai fencing technique from Miyamoto Musashi’s writings, “The Book of Five Rings”. This says,

“you approach the enemy through a gap in his guard. The spirit is to strike him with your body. Turn your face a little aside and strike the enemy’s breast with your left shoulder thrust out. Approach with the spirit of bouncing the enemy away, strike as strongly as possible in time with your breathing. If you achieve this method of closing with the enemy, you will be able to knock him ten or twenty feet away. It is possible to strike the enemy until he is dead. Train well.”

If you’ve been reading my other stuff, you’ll know what to expect. I hope that you’ll enjoy it. Thank you.
