⭐ Why Golola Talent Academy?

Golola Talent Academy is more than a gym — it's a movement.
Founded by Uganda’s kickboxing icon, Golola Moses, the academy is a registered NGO based in Kawempe, Kampala. Our mission is simple: to discover, nurture, and empower ghetto youth through sports, mentorship, and discipline. Whether you're training to be the next champion or supporting one from the sidelines, you're part of a family that fights for a better future.

💪 Our Core Programs

💬 From Golola Himself:

Some people think sport is like dating — but it’s not! It takes discipline, sacrifice, and years of sweat. I built this academy so that the next champion doesn’t have to fight the same battles I did, just to get in the ring.

“People used to call me a street boy. Now they call me a fighter. I stopped using drugs, stopped wasting time, and now I’m chasing a belt. This place saved me.” Denis, 19 – Nateete

“Training here is tough — but so is life in the ghetto. Coach Golola says pain today is power tomorrow. I’ve learned to push myself beyond what I thought was possible.” Musa, 17 – Katwe

Before this academy, I was always on the street. Now I wake up early to train, I eat better, and I feel like I have a goal. Coach Golola believes in me, so I’ve started believing in myself too. Brian, 16 – Kawempe

At first, people said girls don’t belong in the ring. But here, we train the same as the boys. I’ve become strong, focused, and proud of who I am. This place gave me confidence. Jamira, 18 – Bwaise

I used to fight in the streets for survival. Now I fight in the ring with discipline and rules. The academy taught me respect, control, and how to build a future instead of destroying one. Peter, 20 – Makerere-Kivulu
