How to join the club
Please contact Spiros Sensei with any queries. He can be reached by phone (+44 7478712492) or email (spyridon.ventouras@gmail.com).
Simply turn up to a session wearing suitable clothing (sports clothes and remove all jewellery) and experience a free trial. Non-students over the age of 18 are welcome to train with us. Check the training page for any details.
If it is the start of Michalemas Term, you have 3 weeks (w0-2 inclusive) of free access to our sessions to trial us. This only requires you to book into the labelled taster sessions in the Oxford University Sports app: https://onlineshop.sport.ox.ac.uk/pages/login
Create an account (using your sso if you have one), and go to the classes/clubs page. There you can click ‘Activities’ and select ‘Karate Club’, then ‘Show’ to see all our bookable session listings. Then just choose which taster sessions you can attend, noting the number limits (please be conscientious not to take up a space if you don’t think you’ll attend). Follow our instagram @oukarateclub for our term-card detailing things like which of these sessions will be more beginner friendly.
