This article aims to show how judo can be implemented in physical
education classes with visually impaired and blind students. As usual in this field,
the author followed the three-level classification of the United States Association
for Blind Athletes (USABA). The USABA distinguishes between the groups B3
(vision between 20/200 and 20/599 after best correction), B2 (vision 20/200 and
less after best correction), and B1 (blind). The exercises presented are designed to
teach basic judo techniques and are specifically intended for ground fighting in PE.
They can be used in elementary school as well as in middle and high school.
