Krav Maga Oxford

Fantastic experience: Krav Maga Oxford is a very friendly group of people, Wayne is very open & approachable with a vast amount of knowledge, along side his support/assistant trainers. Classes can be modified for all abilities, & are well planed out for beginners or the more advanced. I always look forward to going to class, I thoroughly enjoy it.

Fantastic experience: Great classes, with all levels welcomed. I've learnt a lot of useful ways to defend myself. I always leave the sessions pumped up, and in a great mood :) definitely boosted my confidence and fitness level. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience: The instructor is very experienced and the teaching techniques are very good and easy to remember and understand. I am in the Reading site and it's certainly a must to try and join this Krav Maga family for everyone i would say these days.

Fantastic experience: Wayne runs a super professional, but also fun and welcoming class here. Great fitness work, great instruction, and great fun. Wayne's always happy to answer questions or explain things, and makes sure that every student is progressing. 10/10

Fantastic experience: I started Krav Maga because I wanted to feel safer when travelling alone and also to improve my physical fitness. This class has been perfect! It’s intense but in a challenging not overwhelming way. And Wayne is a motivating and considerate instructor with a wealth of invaluable knowledge. It’s well worth the money and also is, fundamentally, a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: I did a taster session and joined up after that just before Christmas. Caitlyn who ran the taster session was brilliant and really welcoming and everyone in the group seemed really nice. My next session was the same with Wayne there and then it was a break for Christmas. No big egos and lots of people at different levels and nice mix of male/female. Looking forward to 2023!

Negative experience: I am very disappointing with the unprofessional behavior of Wayne Bailey the Head Instructor. I sent him several emails inquiring about the prices of his classes. He repeatedly refused to provide the information. His "selling" tactics is you have to pay and come for a trial class, only then he will tell you how much the monthly membership actually is. I am a farther of 3 children, one of them having Autism, I do not have the luxury of free time to attend someone's trail class just to find out what their prices are. Luckily someone I know attended, so here it is. They charge £54/month for one class a week, £65/month for two. I was also told that the quality of the class is very poor. Wayne Bailey is a low level instructor who teaches some made up stuff in the name of Krav Maga. I found out that there are other much better and cheaper self defense clubs in Oxford, so I can recommend not to bother with this British Krav Maga Association. Fancy name but very poor classes and bad customer service.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant! Every session is different, you go through a lot of techniques each week. Some fitness work, and the sessions are always fun.

Fantastic experience: The Oxford club is just the right size and friendly. The members are all great people ready to help and share their knowledge with others, especially with beginners. The club's chief instructor, Wayne Bailey, is very knowledgeable with several years experience on different martial arts styles. He is friendly and easily approachable, always ready to help with any issues and address any questions. The classes combine nicely Krav Maga with general fitness, in particular cardio and full-body exercises as well as hit sessions. A great overall experience.

Fantastic experience: My 17 year old son has been going here for the last year, and he absolutely loves it. Its effective, safe and very well-taught, Wayne is an excellent teacher as are his coaches. There is also a really friendly and helpful community of other learners. If you're interested in learning self-defence, fitness and having a useful hobby, look no further.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it. I’m excited every week to come To Krav. A great workout and Wayne in FABULOUS. Pia

Fantastic experience: I started Krav Maga lessons just over three years ago on the advice of an ex-police officer when I was volunteering for a local museum and art gallery. He was keen to show me some of the basics in order to help me to protect myself in the event of a personal attack and furthermore recommended strongly, I find a class to attend on a regular basis. So, at the first opportunity I found a good class not too far away and began my initial training in self-defence. I continued my Krav lessons remotely during lockdown, when we would all meet up remotely in our kitchens via video link, for a 90-minute session of power-packed fun and serious self-defence training. As an isolated person during lockdown, to me this was paramount in keeping myself as safe as possible during those lonely times. How grateful I am to that ex-policeman who suggested I take up Krav. Change happens and sadly my first club closed at the end of the lockdown periods. Not wanting to let all my education go to waste and determined to continue with my self-defence training, I decided to head off in the direction of another club. British Krav Maga in Oxford was the first club I looked up and I’ve been here ever since. Wayne our Lead Instructor was so easy to talk to on the phone when I first made an enquiry. He took the time to explain things clearly and invited me along to my first session. I joined the BKM club straight away as I felt so comfortable with everyone around me and my gut feeling was that I’d come to the right place. I was able to judge from my own experience whether the club was of value. My findings were that the classes were vibrant, friendly and fun, with the same elements of serious, well explained Krav tuition I had received before. I found the BKM instructors extremely helpful and ready to explain things succinctly with acute clarity, demonstrating movements by defining key points and giving reason to the motions. Having found this class at BKM, I felt I would be able to improve on my initial training in an enjoyable and informed learning setting. I’ve now been with BKM in Oxford for well over a year and have met some wonderful people and top-class instructors. Our instructors are well educated professionals who can deliver the programme in a focused learning atmosphere, where we also have a lot of fun. Wayne encourages slow movements to improve learning. We’re lucky too, in that we have a knowledgeable and experienced female instructor who will carefully guide you through anything which appears challenging and in doing so, identify key areas of concern, making necessary adjustments for learning. As well as being a great class for everyone, this is the ideal learning atmosphere for ladies who want to learn Krav and self-defence at a steady pace and improve their confidence levels in a safe, secure learning environment. One notable point about British Krav Maga from my experience: if you really don’t want to have fun and meet likeminded people, don’t want to learn in a professional, well-informed setting, don’t want to improve your physical wellbeing, reflexes, mental agility, strength and protect your personal space, then my advice to you would be to stay in front of the screen or the tele. Thank you BKM Michelle Scanlan 31January 2023

Fantastic experience: Wayne is a very patient, friendly, knowledgeable and thorough instructor. I have been training for just over 3 months and feel I have learned so much in a short period and there is so much more to go. On top of the consistent drilling, we engage in something new every week making the experience fresh each time. The students are very friendly and easy going, and I look forward to learning with them. I will be training for as long as I can.

Fantastic experience: Great for learning self defense & fitness

Fantastic experience: I had to be THE least likely self-defence candidate. But thanks to Wayne's superb and patient coaching I'd now be a lot more confident about what to do should I have to. He's got a knack of explaining things so that even the least physically coordinated people (i.e. me) understand and can have a go. I'd recommend Wayne and his classes without reservation - they're a LOT of fun too. Come and run something near Witney, Wayne!

Fantastic experience: I loved Wayne's classes. I did some face to face classes with him and then courses on-line during the lockdowns. Wayne is a great teacher who manages to combine friendliness and humour with being highly professional. I learnt a huge amount and gained in confidence so much so that when a late night intruder appeared in our bedroom I was able to make him run off down the street just by using my voice and warnings. I highly recommend Wayne's classes to anyone who would like to learn some highly effective moves to get out of tricky situations, whatever your fitness, age or sex. You will feel and act more confidently knowing how to look after yourself. I still practice knife skills on my partner, using a limp celery stick, just in case.

Fantastic experience: Been going to Oxford British Krav Maga for less than a month but feel like I’ve learned so much already! Really good for the practice and theory of self defence.

Fantastic experience: Excellent club with such a friendly atmosphere.
