Our History


 Founded in 2011, Godfather MMA Gym has been providing top-quality martial arts training to the local community for nearly 15 years. 


During its growth, the academy expanded through the incorporation of Junkyard MMA, further strengthening its presence and training base while continuing under the Godfather MMA Gym banner.

Our History

Built on a strong foundation and years of dedication to the sport, Godfather MMA Gym stands as a testament to grit, loyalty, and hard work. 


 The academy acknowledges its past association with Junkyard MMA and recognizes the role Ferdie Basson and Charl Van Tonder played during that chapter of its journey. 


That chapter remains part of the academy’s history, however the focus now is firmly on the continued growth, development, and long-term vision of Godfather MMA Gym. 

 

Godfather MMA Gym is proudly owned and directed by Brad Block, Wael Nasser, and “Billy the Kid” Oosthuizen.


As owners, they provide the strategic leadership, vision, and long-term direction that guide the academy’s growth and sustainability. United in purpose, they are committed to maintaining elite standards, investing in the development of the facility and its athletes, and building a strong, respectful training community, ensuring that Godfather MMA Gym continues to expand its legacy and position within the sport.
