Para Judo

In Para Judo, competitors aim to throw their opponent to the ground, immobilize them with a pin, or force a submission with a joint lock or choke. Victory is achieved through two means: an ippon, awarded for a decisive throw or submission that ends the match immediately, and waza-ari, given for less decisive moves. Matches last four minutes, and the judoka with the highest score, or the one who achieves ippon, wins. Athletes are classified into weight categories and divisions, based on their level of visual impairment.
