Judo Poetry - Judo is like water. (From Mannam Judo)

<Poetry in Judo>  


Judo is like water 

Reference: Ohelenkamp, K (2006) Black Belt Judo Skills and Techniques. New Holloand Publishers. London.

Judo is like water.



The nature of Judo is often compared with that of water. 




Water is soft and follows the path of least resistance, yet is vital of life. 




It can be as serene as a lily pond or as wild as the stormy sea. 




Water is most serviceable to life when in its liquid state; judo is most effective when your technique is applied in a fluid manner. 





Like Judo, water is the humblest of all the elements as it always seeks the low point, but in the end it always overcomes. 



Mannam Judo team is promising to be like water too!
