Judo throw practice on the tatami at the Gymnasia camp

Tbilisi, Georgia

Judo camp in Tbilisi

A judo powerhouse, on its own tatami.

Next session: Aug 4 – Aug 10, 2026

What this camp is and who it suits

Judo here is not a side room in a mixed gym, and the volume of randori is higher than most clubs at home can offer. It suits a competitive judoka who wants uchi-komi and rounds twice a day, a sambo or jiu-jitsu player who wants throws and grip fighting taught properly, and a beginner willing to spend the first sessions on breakfalls before anything else. Adult camps take ages 16 and up, split by level after the first session.

Why train this in Georgia

Georgian judoka won more medals for the USSR than any other republic, and that coaching lineage is still here.

Gripping is treated as the first skill rather than an afterthought, partly because chidaoba — the country's own jacket-wrestling tradition — trains the same instincts. The week is two sessions a day, six days a week: uchi-komi and technical work in the morning, randori and conditioning in the afternoon, Sunday off for recovery or for the city.
