Chidaoba Culture, Tbilisi, GeorgiaOur story
A culture shaped by movement, discipline and the spirit of Georgian wrestling, and a home for everyone who wrestles and grapples today.
01 · The culture
Chidaoba is more than a traditional wrestling discipline. It is movement, discipline and heritage, a connection between generations, carried through the grip.
For centuries it has combined wrestling with music, dance and its own garments. CHIDAOBA CULTURE exists to preserve, develop, modernise and share that culture, and to connect it with today’s wrestling, judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and grappling world.
