Cory Richison

Amateur Record 4-1-1


As a college athlete and business major at Patten University, I developed a passion for competition and helping others, leading me to pursue a healthier lifestyle. After graduating, I returned to the Central Coast of California and found a job at a software company in the health and wellness industry. One of our clients was a local fight gym, where I discovered my love for Muay Thai.

Having a background in baseball, I thrived in a structured training environment. After years at Sleeping Tiger Fitness in San Luis Obispo, I helped launch a kids' program and assisted with adult classes, which deepened my love for teaching. For several years, I trained in Bang Muay Thai and instructed both kids and adults. When the gym's owner sold and relocated, I faced a choice: let go of my passion or take a leap of faith. I chose to become a full-fledged affiliate, and it was the best decision I could have made.

The Bang Muay Thai system and its community have greatly transformed my life. My goal is to help others find happiness and confidence. I hold a purple belt in the system, inspired by MMA Hall of Famer Bas Rutten and developed by 2X UFC Coach of the Year Duane Ludwig. I've had the privilege to train with notable figures in mixed martial arts, including our legendary sensei Duane "Bang" Ludwig, MMA Hall of Famer sensei Bas Rutten, UFC fighter Justin Gaethje, Master Coach Trevor Wittman, and UFC champ TJ Dillashaw. I am grateful to be on the path, OSU!
