The year is 1941 and Choi Bae Dal (Yang Dong Geun) is but a student in South Korea. After seeing an advertisement for an opportunity to learn to fly and go to college if people join the Japanese army, Bae Dal is off to Japan. But once he joins and completes the training, the Japanese Imperial Army only enlists Korean pilots for kamikaze missions. Refusing to take part, Bae Dal and the Korean soldiers are charged with treason and sentenced to death. But Japanese General Kato (Masaya Kato), and lead karate instructor, offers Bae Dal and the men a chance - defeat him in battle and he will only kill Bae Dal and let the men live; lose and everyone dies. Obviously, the greenhorn Bae Dal is beaten to a pulp by Japan's greatest martial artist.

Bae Dal is shamefully defeated and earns Kato's scorn. He leaves the army and takes refuge in a small village. One day, he runs into trouble with some local Yakuzas, but is saved by another Korean - Bum Su (Jeong Du Hong). A friend of his father's and a talented martial artist, Bum Su is now a crippled old man after his left hand is chopped off by the Yakuzas. Bae Dal begs Bum Su to take him as his student and after much hesitation, Bum Su finally takes him on. Bum Su offers Bae Dal a copy of Musashi Miyamoto's "Book of Five Rings," a martial arts book detailing techniques on how to fight and survive.

But not long after Bae Dal meets up with Bum Su, the Yakuzas return for vengeance and this time, kills Bum Su. Determined to not let his master down and truly learning "the art of fighting," Bae Dal commits himself with rigorous training in the mountains and learning the Book of Five Rings. After several years in seclusion, Bae Dal returns to society with one simple goal in mind - defeat and dethrone every single martial arts school in Japan...
