The bad news: For those interested in Mixed Martial Arts training in Oxford, it has been very difficult to find out where in the city and the surrounding county clubs are offering instruction in Mixed Martial Arts, or its fundamental components, such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, submission grappling, or wrestling. Type “Oxford MMA” in Google and one of the first results returned is the “Oxford University Wrestling and MMA Society”. Unfortunately, these guys appear to just watch WWF tapes.
The good news: MMA Oxford is a brand new site designed to collate information on and promote Mixed Martial Arts clubs in Oxfordshire. The site keeps an updated, accurate listing of MMA and BJJ (and grappling) classes taking place in the Oxford area. In addition, it provides details on instructors located further afield. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts clubs are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, but the industry is nascent outside of the big cities, and the growing process is slow. Therefore, you may find it beneficial to look beyond Oxfordshire for your training requirements - this site will help you research MMA and BJJ clubs in Buckinghamshire, the West Midlands and London.
