What this quote means

This quote by Kanō Jigorō, founder of judo, defines this martial art as a path of harmony between body and mind. Judo is not just a combat technique but a discipline that aims to develop physical and spiritual strength optimally. It encourages using the opponent's energy and seeking maximum efficiency with minimal effort. It applies to daily life, inviting us to combine strength and wisdom, action and reflection.

How to apply it daily

In your sport or daily practice, seek efficiency rather than brute force. Listen to your body and mind to find balance.
