where martial arts meet a commitment to character and community. Founded by Giga Chikadze, a renowned world champion in both karate and kickboxing, our gym is more than just a place to train—it’s a place to grow.

Giga isn’t just a fighter; he’s someone who’s lived a life rich with international experience. Growing up in Eastern Europe, Georgia and mastering Goju-Ryu karate there, he spent his twenties in Amsterdam, honing his skills Dutch kickboxing skills, and traveled to Thailand to train in Muay Thai. Today, as an active UFC fighter and a multiple-time world champion, Giga brings that global expertise right here to Newport Beach.

But beyond the titles and trophies, Giga Kick is built on a simple belief: teaching martial arts should be about more than just technique. It’s about building confidence, fostering respect, and creating a safe space where kids learn to stand up for themselves and for others. As a parent himself, Giga knows that your child’s well-being and personal growth are the top priorities. That’s why our mission isn’t just to train the next champion—it’s to help every child become a stronger, kinder, and more confident version of themselves..
