The critically acclaimed Pakistani actor and host of one of the most popular television shows, Fahad Mustafa also became a part of the larger than life launch event. There were demonstrations by professional fighters Mehmosh Raza and Zia Mashwani, who have represented and made Pakistan proud through victories against international fighters in the past at various Brave events.
“It is not your average gym, it is the antidote to your regular boring training facilities. We aim to revolutionise the fitness industry through our approach towards fitness and strive to develop the limitless potential that our athletes have to prepare them for international competitions,” said Brave Gym CEO Omar Ahmad.
“I would extend our gratitude and thanks to Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa for his efforts to develop sports around the world. Brave Gym is yet another step towards developing the sport in all parts of the world. We were thoroughly impressed with Pakistani fighters and fans when we became the first international MMA organisation to host an event here and we’ve made it our mission to help develop the sport in the country. Brave Gym is exactly that step,” said Brave Combat Federation president Mohammed Shahid.
