Paralympic Judo is for Visually impaired (VI) athletes. The rules are similar to regular (IJF) judo but athletes must take a grip on their opponents uniform (gi) prior to the match starting and maintain physical contact during the match.
Referees help guide the athletes to each other at match start and will intervene if the action is going out of bounds or if contact is lost.
