Para judo is the same as judo, but adapted for people with visual impairments. It is an official Paralympic sport, where all the rules of judo are preserved, but with some nuances to ensure athletes can compete safely and fairly. For example, athletes begin the match already in a grip to avoid problems with orientation on the tatami. Additionally, there is a visual acuity classification: B1, B2, B3, but all compete together.
