| The Origin of Judo |
![]() Scientific observation can be applied to fields other than science. For example, it is reported that judo originated as a result of observation. A great master was meditating one day about snow falling on a branch. Instead of letting the accumulating snow\'s weight get so big that it would break it, the branch yielded and let the snow fall on the ground. The conclusion? The branch uses the snow\'s own strength against itself. The master developed a technique for using that principle in wrestling: judo. Judo means "the gentle way" in Japanese.
