Inside the camp
Archive photographs document a previous kyokushin camp in this room. They prove the history shown here, not the current module timetable or lineup.
A previous camp in this room
The archive group image and federation post document athletes training with Tariel Nikoleishvili at Gymnasia in Tbilisi.
Sparring was documented
Archive frames show protected kumite during the previous camp. Ask for the current module’s sparring plan and equipment requirements.
Outdoor conditioning was documented
The archive includes a morning hill run from the previous camp. It does not promise the same activity for a future module.
A room built for kyokushin
Gymnasia Lisi has a dedicated karate dojo with shoji screens, hanging scrolls and a kamiza. The club’s public schedule lists year-round karate classes in the room.
A dedicated room
The photographed dojo has its own matted training area, striking equipment and traditional kyokushin setting.
Inside a full sports club
Gymnasia’s official venue page lists a conditioning floor, sauna and recovery facilities in the same building. Confirm which access is included in your written offer.
A year-round club
Gymnasia operates weekly karate classes outside camp dates. The current camp coaching lineup still requires written confirmation.

Kyokushin rules, in plain terms
Official KWU competition rules score ippon and waza-ari, allow strikes only to permitted zones and prohibit hand or elbow strikes to the face. Camp practice rules and equipment may differ, so confirm them before travel.
- 01
Hands and elbows stay off the face
Official KWU rules prohibit hand and elbow strikes to the face, throat, sides and back of the neck.
- 02
Kicks can score in permitted zones
The competition rules permit scoring kicks, including head-level kicks, while prohibiting attacks to areas such as the groin and spine.
- 03
Ippon and waza-ari decide scores
Official scoring includes clear victory (ippon) and half victory (waza-ari), with judges deciding unresolved bouts under the published rules.
- 04
Camp practice needs its own confirmation
Competition rules do not prove a camp’s sparring intensity, pairing or protective equipment. Ask for those details in writing.
This summary is not a substitute for the official rules or the current camp safety briefing.
Official KWU kumite and kata rulesWhat you work on

- 02
Strength that transfers
Strength and conditioning may support the technical work. Confirm the current balance before choosing a module.
- 03
Bag work and pads

- 04
Kumite
Kumite may be included. Ask the team to confirm frequency, intensity, pairing and protective equipment.

Questions
- Which Georgia?
- The country. Tbilisi, in the Caucasus — not the American state. Check current routes and use Georgia’s official consular checker for the rules that apply to your passport.
- What grade do I need to be?
- The enquiry is intended for people already training beyond absolute beginner. Send your style, grade and experience so the team can confirm whether the current module is suitable.
- Do I have to spar?
- The planning week includes kumite, but frequency, intensity, pairing and equipment require confirmation. Do not put medical details in the form; ask the team for an appropriate channel if suitability needs separate discussion.
- Is this kyokushin only?
- The planning focus is kyokushin. Practitioners from other contact styles can enquire; the team will confirm fit after reviewing experience and the current training plan.
- What do I need to bring?
- Ask for the current written equipment list before travel. Gymnasia’s club page links to Krivi for locally available training gear, but availability is separate from the camp offer.
- Can I grade — kyu or dan — at the camp?
- No grading is promised. Ask whether a requested module includes any kyu or dan grading and obtain written confirmation before travel. This is not a federation event.
- What language is the camp in?
- English, Russian and Georgian are the planning languages. Confirm the languages available for your requested module in writing. Kyokushin terminology remains Japanese.
- I want to bring my club.
- Groups can send their size and preferred dates in the form. Alternative dates, group pricing and availability require a written offer.
