A 10-year-old boy decided to study Judo(柔道), although he had lost his left arm in a car accident．He began his lessons with an old Japanese Judo teacher．He was doing well, but he could not understand why the teacher had taught him only one move for quite a long time．
“Sir,” the boy finally said, “I think I should learn more moves．”
“But this is the only move you will ever need to know,” the teacher answered．
Not quite understanding, the boy kept training．Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first tournament(联赛)．Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches．The third match proved to be more difficult．However, after some time, the opponent(对手) became impatient．The boy used his one move to win the match．Now the boy was in the finals．

“No,” the teacher said, “let him continue．”

On the way home, the boy and the teacher reviewed every move in every match．Then the boy asked what was really on his mind．“How did I win the tournament with only one move?”
“You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered．“First, you've mastered(掌握)one of the most difficult moves in Judo．And second, the only known defense(防卫)for that move is to grasp(抓住)your left arm．But you've lost it．” The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest advantage．
