Do I need to be an Oxford University Student to join?

No! We welcome members from outside of the university too. However, we are limited in how many non-university members can we can offer, so please contact us if you are interested in joining.

​

Is there an age requirement to join?

As we are a University club, we can only offer membership to over 18s.

​

Can I try out a session before joining?

Of course! We run a taster two weeks  at the start of every academic term. In the first week sessions can get very busy, so we may have to cap numbers for safety - this will be on a first-come first-serve basis. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment! In general, please arrive on time, as after 10 minutes newcomers will not be allowed into sessions, so coaches can focus on teaching the session at the right pace and not having to back-track. If you have any questions or would like to join after the taster two weeks, please contact us.

​

Can I join if I'm a beginner?

Absolutely! Most of our members have no martial arts experience before they start with us. Our experienced coaches are great with all abilities, and we always teach the fundamentals before moving on to any flashier things.

​

How can I keep updated with training and socials?

Please follow our Instagram account (@_oummac), where we'll post regular information! We also have a members WhatsApp group where we will message with events, stash etc, which you can join once training starts. Please get in touch if you are a member and haven't been added to the WhatsApp, as we would love for you to be in the group. Finally, there's a mailing list you can be added to! You may have seen our Facebook page, but please note that it is now inactive.
