Athletes who are blind or have vision impairments compete under the rules of the International Judo Association at the Paralympic Games, with the exception of a mat that has different textures to mark zones and the competition area. Competitors must attack, defend, and maintain balance during a match in order to score points by using certain attack and counterattack techniques.
