Cape Town

A welcoming, family-oriented MMA and BJJ gym in Retreat led by Coach Zain, a BJJ brown belt and experienced Muay Thai/kickboxing practitioner. It offers BJJ, Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing, MMA and HIIT. Honestly a grappling-and-MMA-led gym rather than a Muay Thai specialist, but with knowledgeable striking instruction.

About the Gym

Bushido is a community-driven MMA and BJJ gym in Retreat, in the south of Cape Town, built around Coach Zain — a BJJ brown belt (affiliated with Aguia Dourada and Fight Fit Militia) and an experienced Muay Thai and kickboxing practitioner who has trained and fought abroad, graduating from Phuket Top Team. The gym's emphasis is firmly on family, respect and no egos, and reviewers — including beginners, parents and an expat from France — describe a genuinely welcoming home for martial arts. It offers BJJ, Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing, MMA and HIIT. Honestly its centre of gravity is grappling and MMA, so it's best for those who want Muay Thai as part of a broader, community-focused martial-arts journey rather than a dedicated Muay Thai camp.
