Started by Ryan and Zanalee Davies in 2009 with a vision to use their extensive travel and training history to create a fitness and martial arts coaching service unlike any seen before in South Africa. It was through travel that Ryan discovered MuayThai, Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu and A.C.T Armed Combat & Tactics fighting system.

Over the years they have studied, trained and worked continuously to perfect these and various other forms of fitness, martial arts and self defense training - always looking for new ways to focus on wellness of the body and mind... Because at PRIMAL we believe the most important factor in delivering world-class training is simply the quality of the coaches!

Now located in Randburg, Gauteng, PRIMAL Gym has transformed into PRIMAL Fitness / Combat Academy and grown into more than just a gym. We are a bespoke, personalised coaching and mentorship program commitment to Self Protection and fitness related training. Our training caters for people at all levels of fitness, in a small group or personal training, so no matter who walks through our doors we have the Self Defense and fitness solution for you.
