Judo Academy
The College has strong links with Hereford Judo partners, giving you the opportunity to attend weekly Judo sessions and enable you to engage in this safe, close-combat martial art.
The rules
The rules for visually impaired judo are the same as non-disabled judo, with one exception. Visually impaired participants start competing gripped together, as opposed to the off-grip technique for non-disabled competitors.
A judoka (a judo participant) can win a contest by using a technique, such as a throw or hold and by submission with an arm-lock or a strangle. A technique that achieves Ippon (the highest score a competitor can achieve) wins the contest. However, if neither opponent achieves this score, it will be the player who has accumulated the most points during the contest. If there is no score or both participants have the same points, the match reaches the golden score phase, where the first player to score, wins the match.
