Architect of the OMNI G.A.M.E. system and founder of FIGHT DESIGN. As a stunt coordinator and action designer, he has worked for over 25 years at the intersection of raw violence and cinematic aesthetics. His track record includes international heavyweights such as Netflix's “The Witcher” and Amazon's “Jack Ryan,” alongside intense action productions like “60 Minutes” and “M3GAN 2.0.”
His specialty is functional movement analysis: he teaches actors and stunt performers not just how to strike, but why. This approach lets performers make authentic, character-driven decisions even under extreme shooting pressure. With OMNI he built a universal vocabulary that finally closes the gap between classical martial arts and modern camera work.
Thomas “Haci” Hacikoglu is the visual interface of OMNI G.A.M.E. He started as an elite stuntman and in 2017 reached one of the industry's most prestigious milestones: induction into the legendary Jackie Chan Stunt Team. His deep expertise in movement and timing eventually took him behind the camera, where today he is regarded as one of the world's most sought-after action camera operators and designers.
He made his name through his work on Netflix's “The Witcher” (including choreography & camera for Henry Cavill) and alongside Wade Eastwood on “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.” At OMNI he ensures that the physical reality of a fight is transferred into digital formats without loss of information. He understands the strike before it lands — and knows exactly how to capture it.
London-born action veteran with over 25 years as a stunt coordinator and 2nd unit director on international productions — from Roman Polanski's Oscar-winning “The Pianist” (as SFX coordinator) and “The Lives of Others” through “V for Vendetta” to “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” A former World Cup fencer, he brings blade precision to the set. As a stunt performer he fought alongside Steven Seagal and doubled Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan. A 2012 Taurus World Stunt Award nominee and multiple German Television Academy nominee — including a 2015 nomination together with Thomas Hacikoglu for “Der Mann ohne Schatten.” Action HoD in more than 20 countries, collaborating with the likes of David Leitch and Chad Stahelski.
Fourteen years ago he dove into the depths of applied neurology and has since formed the link to the neurocentric foundation of OMNI G.A.M.E. His practice combines on-set experience with university teaching. Where others see movement, he sees the nervous system behind it.
The structural DNA of OMNI. With over 30 years of experience in armed martial arts (HEMA, FMA, Karate, Ju-Jutsu) and as an IT manager, he combines analytical logic with physical hardness.
He is an expert in historical combat, armored fighting and modern media workflows. At GYARMATI COMBAT he owns the digital architecture and ensures that creative chaos becomes a reproducible, stable system. Analytical logic meets physical reality.
