The educational strength of Judo practice, as it was suggested by prof. Jigoro Kano, is that judo is an educational practice aimed at improving both the individual and society, with no agonistic purpose nor actions which would increase the ancestral instinct of prevarication which is innate in men, all this to understand that only harmony and mutual concessions can make this world a better place. Good and evil live inside us, they are inside our flesh and they run in our veins in different percentages in everyone and they are there, ready to be used by whom may want to look for them and incite them.”
