A TEACHER CAN
DO MAGIC!
DEDICATED TO ALL THE TEACHERS!
A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite
the fact that he had lost his left arm in a
devastating car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo
master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't
understand why, after three months of training the
master had taught him only one move.
"Sensei," the boy 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 sensei
replied.
Not quite understanding, but believing in his
teacher, the boy kept training. Several months
later, the sensei took the boy to his first
tournament.
Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first
two matches.
The third match proved to be more difficult, but
after some time, his opponent became
impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his
one move to win the match.
Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in
the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger,
stronger, and more
Experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be
overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get
hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about
to stop the match when the sensei intervened.
"No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue."
Soon after the match resumed, his opponent
made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard.
Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The
boy had won the match and the tournament. He
was the champion. On the way home, the boy
and sensei reviewed every move in each and
every match. Then the boy summoned the
courage to ask what was really on his mind.
"Sensei, how did I win the tour! Knowing
with only one move?“
"You won for two reasons," the sensei
answered. "First, you've almost
mastered one of the most difficult throws
in all of judo. And second, the only
known defense for that move is for your
opponent to grab your left arm."
The boy's biggest weakness had
become his biggest strength.
