Winning at all costs is not the true judo, but this is the reality of excelling in tournaments. The price of competition is sacrificing your safety, and the benefits of competition are recognition by peers, increased self esteem, bringing honor to your teacher and parents, the trophy to display in the case, etc. Competition is also inevitable when two individuals are doing free practice, little sleights accumulate and eventually a little club battle ensues.
