Little Boy Wants To Learn Judo …What Happens Next Will Shock You
A 10 year old boy, who’s left arm was damaged and subsequently amputated decided to learn judo.
His teacher was an old Chinese judo expert.
The boy was able to grasp quickly and after three months, he was able to master only one move.
He asked his teacher to teach him more moves. The teacher told him that this was all he would need.
Soon after, the boy entered a tournament, where he quickly advanced to the finals, where his opponent was bigger and more experienced. He seemed very out matched.
After a long match, the opponent seemed to lose concentration. Quickly, the boy took advantage and pinned what seemed to be his superior opponent and finally won the tournament.
On the way back home with his teacher, the boy asked him. “How could I win with only one move?”
The Teacher replied, “You have nearly mastered one of the most difficult moves in all of judo…
And, the only defence against that move, is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”
Moral of the Story: Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your greatest strength.
