What to Pack for a Judo Training Camp in Georgia

Bring your judo gi, belt, and a second gi if luggage space allows.

A second gi helps if laundry timing is tight, one jacket is still damp, or a hard session leaves your gear in poor condition for the next block.

Pack rash guards or base layers if you normally use them, and avoid bringing untested gear that might rub or restrict movement.

Bring athletic tape, mouthguard if you use one, nail clippers, small blister care items, and any braces or supports that already work for you.

If you have a recurring injury, pack the exact support you trust rather than hoping to find a replacement after arrival.

Personal medication should travel in original packaging where possible, with enough supply for delays.

Pack sandals for moving around off the mat, quick-dry training layers, and a small laundry plan for sweaty gear.

Recovery items can be simple: reusable bottle, basic electrolytes, sleep mask, earplugs, and any mobility tools you actually use.

Do not rely on camp week to discover a new supplement, tape style, or recovery routine.

Bring your passport, travel insurance details, payment cards, emergency contacts, and any visa or entry documents required for your nationality.

Keep digital and offline copies of booking confirmations, flight details, hotel or camp contact information, and insurance.

A local eSIM or roaming plan can make arrival, transfers, and schedule changes much easier.

Avoid filling luggage with bulky conditioning gear unless the team has specifically asked you to bring it.

Most athletes need clean judo gear, protection, travel basics, and casual clothes more than specialty equipment.

Before flying, confirm laundry expectations, room type, weather, and whether any team-specific gear is needed.
