Let your percieved weakness be your greatest strength

Once upon a time there was a man who had lost his left hand due to an accident. From his childhood he had a dream to learn and practice martial arts. We went to a number of teachers, but they turned him away on the pretext that he is severely disabled. Then finally a very old and an vastly experienced teacher agreed to coach him.

The teacher taught him only a single move. The man was dissapointed. One day the man's teacher called him and said "I would like you to participate in martial arts championship." The man was puzzled because in order to join the championship he needs to know a lot of attacking and defensive moves but he knew only one move. Anyway, keeping faith on his teacher he decided to join the championship.

The championship started and the man progressed to higher rounds and finally won the highest level of the championship. The man was puzzled and asked the teacher what was his strength that won him the championship. The teacher replied that he taught him (the man) a move where the opponent needs to defend himself by catching the man's left hand. But since the man has lost his left hand, the opponent couldnot defend himself and the man won the championship quite easily.
