One girl decided to study judo(柔道) although she had lost her left arm in a caraccident.

The girl began lessons with an old Japanese judoinstructor. The girl was doing well. So she couldn’t understand why, afterthree months of training, the instructor had taught her only one move.

“Instructor,” the girl finally said, “Shouldn’t I belearning more moves?”

“This is the only move you know, but this is the onlymove 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 toher first tournament. Surprising herself, the girl easily won her first twomatches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, heropponent became impatient and charged. The girl skillfully used her one move towin the match. Still amazed by her success, the girl was now in the finals.Thistime, her opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, thegirl appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the girl might get hurt,the referee（裁判员） called a time-out. She was about to stopthe match when the instructor intervened(干预).

“No,” the instructor insisted, “Let her continue.”

Soon after the match restarted, her opponent made aserious mistake: she dropped her guard. Instantly, the girl used her move topin her opponent. The girl had won the match and the tournament. She was thechampion.

On the way home, the girl and her teacher reviewedevery move in each and every match. Then the girl gathered the courage to askwhat was really on her mind.

“Instructor, how did I win the tournament with onlyone move?”

“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered.“First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab yourleft arm.”

The girl’s biggest weakness had become her biggeststrength.
