Most people who join OUABC start as complete beginners, and then it is up to them how far they want to take it - whether you want to just stick with it as a workout, or move on to sparring and eventually competing.
Many colleges have sports fund that students can apply to for reimbursement of their membership fees.​
Taster Sessions
Registration for taster sessions is now required from Michaelmas Term 2025. You are welcome to come to any open session (see training times) as a taster until Sunday the 26th of October.

The Alf Gallie Memorial Hardship Fund
Thanks to a very generous donor who has requested to remain anonymous, the club has launched the Alf Gallie Memorial Hardship Fund. This fund aims to support members of the club for whom the annual subscription fee is a significant financial burden, and who cannot get sufficient sports funding from their college. If you would like to apply for half or full subsidisation of your membership, please fill in the form below and email it to the club President. The information included will be kept confidential and only shared with those who will be allocating funding.
WHAT DOES A YEAR OF OUABC LOOK LIKE?
The OUABC year is a busy one, especially if you are keen to compete with the club. From the socials organised by our social secretaries to the 3-4 shows we host a year, there is always a lot going on in the club. As always, if you ever have any ideas for the club please do just chat to a member of committee!
