MMA Team

The Faktory MMA club is run by Richie Knox & Craig Jose. This mix of Craig's top level stand up skills and Richie's comprehensive and strong style of Vale Tudo makes a great MMA fighting system.

Richie has learned and studied under MMA veteran and double European Champion Peter Irving. As his prodigy for a period of 5 tough years, Richie has a solid ground game with some great ideas. The Style of Vale Tudo comes from Master Crezio De Souza of Sao Paulo Brazil.

Although the MMA club has a number of fighters, we welcome and encourage students of all levels, especially beginners. If you are looking to be competitive or just want to get fit or improve self esteem and make friends, come do a shift at The Faktory!!
