Para judo is a modified version of traditional judo designed for athletes with visual impairments. In para judo, the rules are adapted to accommodate the unique needs of the participants, while maintaining the core principles of judo, such as throws, joint locks, and pins. Athletes compete in a one-on-one match, with the goal of throwing or pinning the opponent to the mat.
