BJJ at The Faktory in Newcastle

Welcome, welcome.



The Faktory is a multi-discipline gym based in Newcastle in the Northeast of England. The Faktory offers training in Crossfit, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and, of course, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). 



Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art based around the principles of technique, leverage and positional strength over reliance on physical attributes. It is suitable for men, women and children of all ages and we welcome students from all walks of life. 



The Faktory is Newcastle’s only full-time facility for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and we have multiple sessions every week. For more info, either ask us a question, send us an email or simply drop into the gym and say hello.
