| Address | Search × esc Type to start searching Home / Cape Town / Pride Fighting Academy (PFA) Verified Pride Fighting Academy (PFA) Cape Town A highly-rated, family-run combat sports academy in Gardens offering boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, BJJ, kickboxing, MMA and yoga. Founded and led by head coach Mike (a BJJ black belt and MMA specialist), it's praised for world-class facilities and coaching, but it's an MMA/multi-discipline academy rather than a Muay Thai specialist. Rating 5.0 (144) Location Gardens Level All levels, beginner to professional About the Gym Pride Fighting Academy is one of Cape Town's most highly-reviewed combat sports gyms, and reviewers repeatedly compare its facilities and coaching to the best in the world. It offers a full spread, boxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, BJJ, kickboxing, MMA, plus yoga and women's self-defense workshops, under founder and head coach Mike, a first-degree BJJ black belt and MMA specialist. The Muay Thai program is well-coached and covers the full art of eight limbs, but PFA is honestly an MMA-and-grappling-led academy where striking is one strong pillar among several. The atmosphere is a recurring highlight: warm, welcoming, family-like, with clean, top-quality facilities. Ideal if you want Muay Thai inside a complete, high-level martial-arts environment; those after a pure Muay Thai camp may prefer a dedicated gym.
