GYMNASIA / KIDS BJJ / TBILISI
Small athletes.
Big ambitions.
A first class. A favourite training partner. A team to grow with. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Gymnasia takes children from their first roll to the competition mat.
THE COMPETITION TEAM
Built together. Tested on the mat.
The medals tell one part of the story. Behind them are regular training, live rounds, coaching and teammates who keep showing up for each other. Our competition team gives young grapplers a place to take their sport seriously.
Gi and no-gi. Technique, decisions and composure under pressure. Follow the team’s training and competition days on Instagram.

IN THEIR CORNER
Meet the coaches.
Pavel Zaitsev
Pavel leads the competition team and specialises in no-gi grappling. His constraints-led approach sets a clear task during live practice, so children learn to recognise a problem, make a decision and find a solution against a resisting partner.

Before the first class.
Does my child need experience?
The beginner group welcomes children from age 4. Tell us your child’s age and experience when booking so we can help you choose a suitable class.
Does every child have to compete?
Start with learning the sport. If your child wants to work towards competition, speak with the coach about their readiness and the right group.
What should we bring?
Comfortable sportswear and water for the trial. For regular training, check with the coach about a gi and belt or no-gi rash guard and shorts.
How is training supervised?
Coaches guide partner work and live practice. Children learn to respect their partners, communicate and stop when needed. Ask the coach about the activities and rules for your child’s group.
Where do classes take place?
Gymnasia Lisi, 14a Elguja Amashukeli Street, Tbilisi. Open the live schedule for current sessions and availability.
