immediate, tangible consequences that are fundamental to the excitement and
tension of combat. In order to maintain the open outcome of the fight and ensure
that the opponents take risks, it is necessary to constantly search for solutions to
movement problems that arise, for different partners to fight each other, and to
further develop and differentiate existing skills and abilities. As mentioned above,
Judo is a sport with few barriers for blind and visually impaired people because the
importance of sight is limited by constant physical contact. Kinesthetic perception
of forces and balance, rather than sight, plays a significant role and is also relevant
for everyday activities.
Collection of Tasks
The following tasks deal with combative confrontation, with the lesson plan
leading from playful roughhousing to competition-oriented fighting.
Establishing Physical Contact and Trust
In order to address fighting, it is advisable to first conduct preparatory games
and exercises that serve to reduce inhibitions about physical contact and build
mutual trust. Specific goals are for students to be mindful and considerate in direct
physical contact with their partner, to allow touching, to develop cooperative
behavior, and to sensitize their perception.
