He asked his teacher to teach him more moves. The teacher told him that this was all he would need.
Soon after, the boy entered a tournament, where he quickly advanced to the finals, where his opponent was bigger and more experienced. He seemed very out matched.

On the way back home with his teacher, the boy asked him. "How could I win with only one move?” The Teacher replied, "You have nearly mastered one of the most difficult moves in all of judo. And, the only defense against that move, is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”
