Critique of strength - philosophical messages to the weak

Every journey has a starting point that the traveler knows, even if they do not know the destination, or not yet. These messages have a starting point that is not without excitement, and it must be mentioned at the beginning: I have noticed during my long athletic journey that the founding fathers of the art of Judo, the Japanese martial arts descended from samurai traditions, were physically weak, short in stature, and some of them suffered from health fragility. And to compensate for their weakness, each of them dedicated himself in his own way to re-studying the samurai traditions across their various schools and temples, contemplating the fighting methods of animals in the wilderness and forests, as well as reflecting on natural phenomena and the manifestations of strength and weakness within them, and how the power of water, wind, and tree branches is generated from softness, flexibility, and gentleness. All of this was done alongside their work on rediscovering themselves in their physical and spiritual dimensions, until each of them was guided to create a martial art that gives the weak-bodied the chance to triumph over the strong in any physical fight, and above all, to enable them to overcome feelings of weakness that may be hidden within them.
