amusing MA joke

A little boy began to study judo, but on the way to practice the second day, he was hit by a car. He was mostly okay, but sadly, he had to have his left arm amputated.

Returning to practice under his aging master, the boy was taught only one move. For an entire year, the master forced the boy to perfect that one move. A tournament was coming up, and the boy began to ask his teacher to instruct him in more of judo. The master refused, telling the boy to keep practicing his move.

The tournament came around, and the boy advanced to the finals. In the last round, he was set against a huge, muscular opponent. It seemed the tournament was over for him. Yet in the end as his opponent was having trouble concentrating, the boy used his move, pinned his adversary, and won the tournament.

Afterward, the boy went up to his master and said, "Sensei, how could I win knowing so little judo?" The master responded, "You have mastered one of judo's most difficult techniques. The only defense against this technique is for your opponent to grab your left arm."
