Really love this place. They’re really welcoming and open also to new folks, and take you seriously as a fighter they want to train no matter what level you’re at. Highly recommended.

I started doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at PFA in November 2021 after looking for something new and different to the training that I’d been doing before. I get bored easily so was looking for something where I could stay fit and retain my strength while learning a new skill. I’ve found the BJJ classes incredibly addictive and more intense than anything I’ve tried before. It’s also a sport that has been around for a long time but is still evolving. The trainers are all amazing, diverse and each have a different approach which gives you a really well rounded understanding of the sport. More than equipment, training and the things you’d expect from a gym these days, you’ll find a family type atmosphere and a community that’s as awesome to be around as BJJ is addictive.

Excellent MMA gym. Caters to everyone from absolute beginner to professional fighter. Nice balance of technique and toughness.

Most definitely the best place to train with great coaches and a warm atmosphere that will leave you feeling like a part of the family

PFA has excellent facilities and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

Second time in PFA and always an amazing experience! It was my second trip for one month in Capetown after a first time in august 2021 and I decided to return for one month training in PFA. As in my memory, you’re warmly welcome by all the team. The teacher’s level like that of the students are very impressive. As I come from french boxing is always a new start to learn again boxing basic mouvements and what pleasure to do it in the PFA’s club. If you want to improve your boxing level in all kind of martial arts in a particularly good mood and fighting spirit, it’s the place to be ! I definitely recommend it !

Incredible gym with passionate coaches and ultra friendly atmosphere. Equipment is kept clean and in great condition. The owners and trainers are super friendly, professional and proactive with communication on the whatsapp group. Fees are also really affordable and give you access to train and learn from the best, across a variety of classes. The gym frequently organises opportunities to progress and compete at various levels, if you want to. PFA honestly changed the way that I train and enjoy training. I now do Muay Thai, Boxing and Jiu Jitsu and enjoy every single class I take.

I joined PFA two months ago and could not be happier! The instructors are super professional and so friendly, there’s a great variety of MMA classes to choose from, and just a great vibe all around. If you’re looking to get fit, learn a new skill, and have a ton of fun, this is the place to be!

From the moment I walked in I felt accepted. There was still the tumultuous uproar of intimidation in my heart from entering a new mma gym, but it was quickly outweighed by the welcoming face of the owner Michael Mouneimne. The family atmosphere contrasted with the intensity of both the professional and amateur athletes is what has kept me here for four years. If you are looking for a welcoming place to call a second home, with owners and staff that are professional, honest and hard working then look no further. This is where bonds are made and dreams are accomplished!

Most incredible training facility - on par with very best in the world. Most experienced & awesome coaches. The entire gym, culture and atmosphere feels like a family. Exceptionally well organised, clean, always friendly. No ego's. Everyone always there to help you achieve what you trying to strive for

Such a great gym! From a beginner: it's challenging and pushes your limits in a fun, engaging, and super encouraging environment. They support anyone from beginner to pro and you'll find yourself amongst a rad group of people you can learn from with no judgement. Highly recommend!

PFA is a fantastic MMA gym. Their rates are affordable and offer great value. I've attended classes in multiple disciplines, and each instructor was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and friendly. Not only are the instructors great, but fellow students are just as helpful and friendly.

Absolutely brilliant, family-owned MMA gym, with world-class facilities and incredibly patient, high-level coaches for each of the available martial arts disciplines. This gym serves as a pillar in the community and is a huge part of the daily lives of all it's members. Highly recommended💪

Amazing gym an amazing group of people! Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a solid community within their training space. The Jui Jitsu is awesome. Richie and Jailson the coaches are super knowledgeable and passionate. Mike and Jess create an awesome vibe in the gym each day and make sure there is place for everyone. It’s a very versatile space - whatever you are looking for you have available. Weights, functional training, boxing classes and jits classes. A real gem of a spot.

Best mma gym in Cape Town. My experience has been stellar. Highly recommend PFA for up and coming fighters and people who just wanna live a healthier lifestyle. Let’s Go!

Awesome, full out MMA gym. The head coach, Mike, is also super friendly and welcoming.

Great gym, good Muay Thai classes and 1-1 training. They let you come use the equipment outside of classes too. Plus they accommodate for tourists👌

This is a great place to gain professional training, stay fit, socialize, and learn BJJ, muaytai, boxing, wrestling, and gain strength. And good expresso italiano

This gym is next level for all levels. The gym is exciting with a welcoming, safe environment to learn. Highly recommend to all.

Absolutely phenomenal gym! I couldn’t have picked a better gym to start and train BJJ. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and great teachers.

Best Fighters/ self defense/ fitness gym in the Cape. Excellent facilities always clean and kept to a high standard. Coaches are all friendly and extremely knowledgeable. No matter which skill level there's always something new to learn. No matter the fitness level your gas tank will be tested. Other than that it's a family friendly gym and each one of the members are considered family. A step through that door is all it takes to change your life. You can try it out for free. So no excuses💪!!!

The best martial arts academy in Cape Town

Awesome Gym !!! Well done Mike and Jess

Definitely the best mma club in Cape Town, but possibly also in the world. Michael and Jess run a world class facility that feels like training with family.

Started last year September and it has honestly been the best decision of my life. The gym offers an aray of martial arts in a ego-free and family environment. If you are looking to learn boxing, wrestling, muay thai, brazilian jiu-jitsu or mixed martial arts then this is the place to be in Cape Town.

Great classes from 6am, 8:30am 12:30pm, 1pm, 5pm, 6pm and 7pm generally however there is a time table for this. Coaches for each class are professional, committed, encouraging and just great teachers of the respective fight combat art forms. So we talking about, Boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jui Jitsu ( gi and no gi), High Intensity Interval Training, MMA training, Wrestling & Saturday mornings Yoga. There are personalised training sessions available for you should you wish to enhance your skills and experience one on one attention. All the coaches are elite and have your best interest at heart. The best part about this institution is the sense of community, commaradirie and family. This for me is the best part of this gym and egos are checked at the door. The owners Mike and Jess are friendly, straight talking, no nonsense, fair, compassionate, encouring and loving within their inner circle. Join a class and get a sense of true training on a novice to advanced level. You won't be disappointed. Pride Fight Academy.

Absolutely the best gym for boxing, muay thai, BJJ and wrestling and all things MMA. Top coaches in each discipline and Mike who brings it all together. Get fit and learn an awesome skill.

Without a doubt the best combat sports gym ever. Great atmosphere, amazing coaches and people. The owners are some of the best people you will ever come to know and the "Family Bond" is something you won't get anywhere else. Highly recommend. Oss
