    Cnut set his throne by the sea
    shore and commanded the tide
    to halt and not wet his feet and
    robes. Yet "continuing to rise as
    usual [the tide] dashed over his
    feet and legs without respect to
    his royal person.”

    "Jutsu" can be translated to
    mean "art" or "technique" and
    represents manipulating the
    opponent's force against himself
    rather than confronting it with
    one's own force.
