Judo, a martial arts represented at the Paralympic games, is more dramatic and competitive than normal when you consider that in the Paralympic version, the Judoka (the original Japanese word for exponents of Judo) are blind or visually impaired. Its system of throws, grapples, and take-downs lends itself to athletes who are visually impaired, but otherwise have no physical disability. With Judo mats that are typically textured, this helps aid the athletes in orientation around the arena.
It is these mats that provide the stability, traction, and impact absorption properties required to enjoy the sport safely. After all, take-downs hurt. Throws are as dramatic as being tossed over a shoulder, and sometimes, Judoka simply fall on their faces. To ensure that participants aren't injured during bouts, judo mats must be rigorously tested.
