One girl
decided to study judo(柔道) although she had lost her left arm in a car accident.
The girl
began lessons with an old Japanese judo instructor. The girl was doing well.
But she couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the instructor
had taught her only one move.
"Instructor,
"the girl finally said, "shouldn't I be learning more moves?"
"This
is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know,
"the instructor replied.
Not quite
understanding, but believing in her teacher, the girl kept training.
Several
months later, the instructor took the girl to her first toumament. To her
surprise, the girl easily won her first two matches. The third match proved to
he more difficult, but after some time, her opponent became impatient and
charged .The girl skillfully used her one move to win the match. Still amazed
by her success, the girl was now in the final.
This time,
her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the girl
appeared to be overmatched .Concerned that
the girl might get hurt, the referee called a timeout .She was about to stop
the match when the instructor intervened(干预).
"No,"
the instructor insisted, "Let her continue."
Soon after
the match restarted, her opponent made a serious mistake; she dropped her
guard. Instantly, the girl used her move to pin her opponent. The girl won the
match and the tournament. She was the champion.
On the way
home, the girl and her teacher reviewed every move in every match. Then the
girl gathered the courage to ask what was really in her mind.
"Instructor,
how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
"You
won for two reasons," the teacher answered. "First, you've almost
mastered one of the most difficult moves in all of judo .Second, the only known
defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."
The girl's
biggest weakness had become her biggest strength.
