The pages themselves are the way in, not a stripped-down copy of them.Waza Book is written so the words carry the judo: a technique is narrated in prose rather than shown in a video with a caption under it, and that is true of every entry on the site.
With a screen reader
Every page is headings to jump between, landmarks and real links. On a technique, "Step by step" narrates the movement in words, "Key points" is what an examiner is watching for, and "Receiving it" is uke's half, because a grading examines both.
Anything that changes without a page load says so out loud. Ticking a technique, filtering a list, sorting a table and fetching the competition figures each announce what changed, so a table that has visibly refreshed is never one that has audibly done nothing. A sortable column carries its sort state on the column itself. Where a figure rests on too few contests to be worth stating, the page says "too few" in words rather than leaving a cell empty or grey.
Nothing here is carried by colour alone. A belt is named in words as well as drawn, a tick announces itself rather than only changing shade, and where a number is drawn as a bar the number is written beside it.
Hearing the Japanese
Every technique, kata and glossary entry with a Japanese name carries a recording of it said aloud, on its own page. The names are what an examiner asks for, and a name read by a screen reader from romaji is not the same thing as hearing it.
Where a technique is adapted for VI judo, the adaptation is on the technique's own page along with everything else about it, for every reader. It is not filed somewhere separate.
Every page in plain text
Every content page is published twice: as the page itself, and as a bare text file with the same words in it. Techniques, kata, skills, sequences and guides, the glossary, and every grade's syllabus and examination. Put .txt on the end of any of those addresses and you get it, as in Uchi-mata in plain text or the whole glossary in plain text. You do not have to remember the rule: there is a link to it at the foot of every page that has one.
The plain-text version has no markup and no navigation. It works with refreshable braille displays and embossers, and is also the easy way to print a syllabus, keep an offline copy or annotate one.
It is a choice of format and not the way in. The pages themselves are built to be read, and a flat file has no headings to jump between, no links and no announcements.
Light and dark
The toggle in the header of every page switches between the light and dark themes and is remembered on that browser. Both are built to the same contrast standard, and the site follows your system setting until you choose otherwise.

Tell us, and say what you were using. Every page on this site is checked automatically in both themes before it ships, but an automated check cannot tell whether a page is any good to read. Suggest a change is the way in, and it needs no account.
