In the General Remarks section, the author explains a wide range of topics including sword stances, secret teachings, how rank is given in sword schools and how to engage in close quarters combat. The Secret Teachings section includes chapters on How to Approach Dueling, How to Control Your Energy, Where to Place Your Spirit and When Evenly Matched, Attack First.
