GIGAKICK Martial Arts Academy offers programs for kids ages 5–12 and for teens and adults ages 13 and up. The academy states that it teaches traditional values using modern training and that it builds character, confidence, and courage, with a strong emphasis on character development through a “Character First” philosophy in all training programs. The academy offers a trial class as a first step at no cost and states that it does not promise quick results, instead teaching techniques passed down through generations, refined in competition, and proven in combat.

GIGAKICK Martial Arts Academy was founded by UFC fighter and world champion Giga Chikadze, who is described as a world champion and active UFC fighter and is listed as the founder. Personal Training at the academy is based on Giga Chikadze’s proven striking system. The facility includes 3,000 sq ft of high-density Zebra mats, a full-size Olympic competition ring, a dedicated strength and conditioning zone, a traditional Japanese Zen lounge, and sanitized recovery and shower facilities. The grand opening of the facility is scheduled for January 2026.

Parent and student testimonials describe increased confidence and clearer speech for one daughter, a 30-pound weight loss and increased discipline for one adult, training described as “real” with “no shortcuts, no gimmicks,” and a son who looks forward to class every week with coaches described as patient, demanding, and caring toward the kids.
