[About visually impaired judo]
In judo for the visually impaired, the two athletes join each other and the referee declares “hajime”, so there is no conflict between the two athletes. The key to victory is how well you can break down your opponent from a grappling state, and there are many techniques that can be unleashed, making for a dynamic 4-minute match.
