Anton Geesink the great Dutch judo champion was once interviewed about the training with which he defeated the previously “undefeatable” Japanese. He said, “The Japanese have devoted themselves to the study of judo for competition. They have gone to extraordinary lengths to develop winning contestants and fine champions. I, on the other hand, have never trained for competition in my life. All I have ever done is trained in judo as a way of life, exactly as Dr. Kano taught. While the Japanese were devising competitive strategies, I was in the dojo, practicing basics and kata. I defeated the Japanese because I know judo better than the Japanese. The ‘secret’ is to train every day in the basics. This will make you unbeatable.”

SEXTANTE:
Caro Senhor, tenho lido este seu texto - "http://espinhadetubarao.blogspot.com/2009/04/ana-vieira.html" - num outro seu blog, gostava de poder contar com uma simples colaboração sua.
Eu estou a preparar uma tese universitária sobre o s movimentos expositivos e culturais nos anos 60 e 70 na Ilha Terceira e nos Açores. Gostava de obter mais alguns dados sobre o funcionamento das exposições da Sextante. Claro que também gostaria de poder saber o seu nome par poder eventualmente citar o texto que li no meu trabalho.
Gostava que me pudesse contactar par o meu e-mail: ricardorego@sapo.pt
a dar algum feedback sobre este assunto.
O meu muito obrigado, saudações desde a Ilha Terceira
