I couldn’t have asked for a better place to train. From the moment I walked into CombatCoaching.com, it felt like our paths had aligned at exactly the right time. The energy here is incredible - you’re immediately surrounded by coaches who are not only passionate about what they do, but genuinely invested in you and your individual journey. Whether you're stepping onto the mats for the first time or refining years of experience, there’s a deep sense of care, respect, and family in this space. The vibe is equal parts focused, humble, and inspiring. If you're looking for world-class jiujitsu and MMA training — and a place where you’ll be challenged, supported, and welcomed like one of their own — I highly recommend Morne Swanepoel's CombatCoaching.com

Training under Morne Swanepoel has been the most transformative experiences of my life. Anyone who trains with him knows it’s far more than just techniques—it’s about mindset, discipline, growth, and connection. Morne’s unique approach is grounded in so much more than combat. His focus on self-defence goes hand in hand with self-discipline, self-belief, and personal excellence. Morne inspires you to be a better human being.

Being part of the CombatCoaching.com team is genuinely a highlight for me. I’m always eagerly looking forward to each training session—it’s where growth meets grit. What makes it truly special is the spirit of patience, understanding, and genuine care that runs through everything we do. I love this team and the powerful sense of purpose we share.

Coach Bradley is not just a coach. He is a brother, and he treats people as such, genuinely caring and not passing people off as numbers. Just like coach Morné, coach Brad trains WITH you and does everything you do in a session. He is relentless in ensuring you come out of every session having smashed all your limits, as he is able to take a student to new heights in every session. As perhaps one of the most talented fighters in the world himself, the fighting techniques you learn with coach Bradley are really helpful, and fun to learn simply because he's such a great teacher and person. It's really easy to follow and learn from him, because he lives out the results.

My son is loving the classes in Ballito. Thanks for providing such a wonderful environment for him to build his skills. He looks forward to his classes and comes home with a fat smile on his face. This makes me so happy to see. Thanks to you and your sons for being such amazing coaches. We really appreciate you guys!!!

'I was introduced to the gym by a friend and found it very “different” from what I have experienced in the past with any other gym I joined. Aileen and Morné are supportive, sure experts in their fields and there is always a warm welcoming feeling when you enter, no matter what level you are on in the different training offered, no member ever looks down on you or pretend to be better. I especially love the Tai Chi classes, it has helped me with being more active, fitter and a wonderful way to heal our body and cope with everyday stress'

I started training at CombatCoaching in December 2007 , I was nervous about attending my fist class as I was worried I'd be teased by the other students about being overweight. But when I walked through the doors everyone walked over and introduced themselves and made me feel very welcome. And over the years of training and the continued support, encouragement and guidance I was given from Coach Morné, his family and everyone at CombatCoaching I've lost over 30kgs, gained self confidence and now I'm able to be the best that I can be!

'Being apart of CombatCoaching.com has changed the way i live my life, the better way. I've have made new friends who are always there to help me. What you learn at this gym isn't just physical, it's also lessons in life and making the best of it'

'This gym has changed my life not only physically but mentally to. It's more than just a gym or team, its a family. I have become very close with all my team mates and I know we will remain good friends for the rest of our lives. Coach Morné is a very inspiring person and very motivating. Since joining the gym my whole lifestyle has changed. I'm living a mixed martial artists lifestyle, more healthy, active and positive'

I have been overweight for the last 13 years weighing in at well over 132kg’s. I joined CombatCoaching.com gym in June 2013 and immediately felt at home. March 2014 our reached my first goal weighing in at less than 100kg’s saying good-bye to triple digits for good and feeling on top of the world! Combatcoaching.com has been with me from the start of my journey and I will be continuing with MY AWESOME “NEW” FAMILY for as long as I am able.

I have been training in functional mixed martial arts with CombatCoaching.com for more than a decade now, and can attest to the fact that training in such a healthy, ego-free training environment has a profound effect on becoming a better person, both on and off the mat. I will never regret the day I decided to join CombatCoaching.com – it has been a life changing experience!

A LIFE CHANGING Lifestyle After joining CombatCoaching.com, With exceptional Coaches and mentors (Coach Morne, Bradley and Dylan Swanepoel) who develops you mentally, physically and spiritually to a high performing level. You become a warrior, a Man built to take on any obstacle infront of you. It doesn't just feel like a GYM but home.Highly recommended to everyone and anyone.

I've been doing BJJ on and off for the last year or so and I am amazed at the technical skills that Coach Morne and his sons possess, which is passed on to every student during each class.

For the past two years our family experienced the positive influence and increased confidence training with them. Although very different classes and coaching needs were required for each of us aged from 13 to 47, they adapted and specialised to each of our goals and needs. It has become a daily part of the household routine and have given me peace of mind knowing my wife and kids can defend themselves. It also provided me the opportunity to get rid of the dad bod and become fit again (Work in Progress). There is no price or praise which can compare to the value the add to our lives. CombatCoaching.com makes you a better version of yourself. 110% Rating

CombatCoaching.com is a gym that not only teaches various forms of martial arts but also training for life. They have invaluable life coaching sessions in-between workouts, and really care about the well-being of their students. At the gym the coaches easily put themselves at an inconvenience so that their students get quality sessions. Coach Bradley has such a strong mindset and is so inspiring, which sticks with you even out of the gym. Head Coach Morne Swanepoel has so much of knowledge and wisdom which he gladly imparts on students whilst being so gentle. I would greatly recommend trying out a class or private session, it's time to invest in yourself and manifesting your highest potential in life.

Coach Morné , the greatest coach ever, is the epitome of martial arts as a lifestyle, and is a living legend.  He is able to train all day, run the gym, and still find time to crack jokes. He's the type of coach that makes you want to strive for excellence, simply because he is the living, breathing result of everything he tries to instill in us. It is also nothing short of a privilege anytime you get to interact with, and just have a conversation with coach Morné. He displays a plethora of knowledge and skills when it comes to martial arts, healthy living, and just life in general. If MMA is a cake full of martial art components, then he is one great baker. If you wish to learn and excel in any facit of martial arts, he's the guy to have in your corner.
