Oxford Martial Arts Academy (OMAA)

Fantastic experience: Every time I go to the ladies boxing session, I know that I will leave feeling uplifted and motivated. Cynthia is amazing and I’m really grateful to have her as our coach. The community feels like a super safe space to be in too! :)

Fantastic experience: Training with Cynthia has been one of the most liberating experiences ever. Cynthia is kind, warm and welcoming, and firm but fair with her training, building discipline and a community of strong like minded women. I have gained so much confidence in all aspects of my life and, most importantly, the positive impact training has had on my mental health has felt amazing! Not to mention the strength I've developed and changes in my fitness levels aren't bad either ;) If you're on the fence about joining, don't hesitate! These classes are for everyone and anyone, and Cynthia makes you feel like a part of the community the second you step into that gym. I can't wait to go back postpartum!

Fantastic experience: I joined the women's boxing group months ago and loved it from day one because it's a complete workout: cardio, strength, mental health, stress relief, and most importantly, self-confidence. Our coach, Cynthia, is an amazing woman with great values.

Fantastic experience: Great boxing gym with an amazing women’s-only class! The environment is supportive, and Coach Cynthia is fantastic, she’s knowledgeable, patient, and knows exactly how to push you while still making you feel comfortable and confident. Her energy is motivating, and she creates an environment where everyone, no matter their skill level, can grow and feel strong. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: The ladies boxing lessons are amazing. The whole group is great,supportive and friendly. Cynthia the Coach is professional and pushes you to be better and better but she is also supportive and kind. Is an environment where you can feel comfortable,valued and safe and also have fun at the same time. 100% recommended!

Fantastic experience: Had Muay Thai session today coached by jaydon was a good session practised basics as well as overall technique, looking forward to his sessions in the future!

Fantastic experience: The Tuesday session with jaydon was one of the most informative, novel and challenging classes ive participated in in a long while.

Fantastic experience: Great kickboxing class led by Jaydon, his attention to detail helped us all with him even taking time out to give us all feedback individually

Fantastic experience: I’ve done the women’s only classes with Coach Cynthia and a few of the mixed classes with Denis and having tried other clubs within the county, OMAA’s sessions were by far the best. Cynthia is a very passionate coach, who creates a positive learning environment to grasp the art of boxing. The sessions are open to all abilities however, you will always feel pushed regardless if you have done boxing before. I have been a basketball player for 10+ years and no workout in my life has ever compared to Cynthia’s boxing classes. I enjoyed being at OMAA so much that it went from 2 to 6 sessions a week within 2 months of joining. The changing rooms and equipment are clean, reception staff are friendly and the boxing coaches are phenomenal. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Super expérience de 3 mois lors de mon expatriation avec Cynthia, une des coachs du club qui vous met directement à l’aise peu importe votre niveau! Pour toute les françaises et les français qui veulent tenter l’expérience vous avez soit des cours mixtes soit des cours que pour les femmes. N’ayez pas honte de commencer!! Vous pouvez même faire une petite séance sans abonnement (10 pounds).

Fantastic experience: The ladies’ only boxing classes with Coach Cynthia are really great! If you are a beginner or even intermediate she always finds a way to adapt her class to your needs and make you improve your level by focusing on the technique. The environment is welcoming and all the girls support each other. If you are looking to get into boxing or simply improve your level in boxing/fitness-cardio I’d highly recommend Cynthia’s lessons.

Fantastic experience: Boxing with Cynthia has changed everything, she is so passionate about what she does, she has so much knowledge and experience to offer and she always makes the most of it every single class. Ladies boxing has helped me so much and brought some of my confidence back to training. Classes are so good and we always feel very welcome and we always know exactly what we are doing, there is always so much fun and Cynthia always with huge smile makes the difference!

Fantastic experience: I joined the ladies' boxing class in January with Coach Cynthia, and she is the best! She's patient, persistent, and she puts passion in it! Cynthia has built a strong, supportive, and empowering community of women in boxing. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience training boxing here, even though I only stayed for a short time. The sessions made me feel strong, energized, and empowered as a woman. The atmosphere was motivating, and I always left feeling like I had pushed myself. I truly enjoyed every class and felt more confident with each one. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking to feel powerful and active!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Cynthias women’s classes for almost a year, and they are so great and such a safe space for women and girls of all ages and abilities to learn to box, make new friends and feel empowered. Would recommend to all girls who want to join !

Fantastic experience: Any women interested on taking up boxing. I highly recommend OMAA. Coach Cynthia class are awesome. Safe environment and pure women empowerment.

Negative experience: The main boxing trainer is always on his phone and is not teaching the students. Also, he only wants you to box his style.

Fantastic experience: The boxing classes held by Lesley Sackey and the team have been nothing short of amazing!

Positive experience: Muay Thai very good but people have to stop to walk through the Muay Thai area wearing they shoes and let they kids play on equipment

Fantastic experience: Recently joined Muay Thai but Boxing seems to be the main sport they care about. The Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai coaches are brilliant I just wish management would sort all the kids and parents out using the Muay Thai area like it’s a back yard… Running around in dirty shoes and throwing pads around

Positive experience: Mine ent a review I just wanted to ask a question I’ve been doing kick boxing for some time now and ent done no sparring as I can’t find people to spar with so do you do full contact sparring here as I’m looking for places to full contact spare and possibly to learn Muay Thai. Thanks

Positive experience: Great environment with excellent teachers and mentors.

Fantastic experience: Been coming to Muay Thai here a couple times a week for over a year. Dean & Josias are both excellent coaches. Josias has a contagious enthusiasm and Dean has in-depth technical knowledge of the sport that makes us improve rapidly. Easily the best coach I've ever had. The combination of the two works very well for all levels, from beginners/recreational up to competitive fighters. I achieved a lot and enjoyed it all the way!

Fantastic experience: Loved attending the Muay Thai classes, feel a lot more confident since attending. World class coaching in Dean and Josias is available, both very humble people who will ensure that no question is left unanswered and are very understanding on beginners. Can’t speak highly enough of them

Fantastic experience: OMAA is a great place to practice muay thai, Dean and Josias are both great coaches and the team is amazing. I really recommend to go and try it!

Fantastic experience: Best place to train Muay Thai in Oxford!!!.The Coaches are patient and always pushing you to be the best version of yourself. Amazing Muay Thai coaches like Josias, Dean and Guppy. They are very friendly and experienced, and they take the time to make sure your technique is correct and teach you new things and ideas during padwork. Highly recommend the Muay Thai classes whether you want to be a fighter or just get a good workout.⭐

Fantastic experience: the muay Thai classes have a friendly atmosphere and great coaches. Dean gives a lot of tips and details to help you improve. would recommend

Fantastic experience: Started on muay thai last week... what an amazing environment. Coach is a beast!!! Learning and enjoying every bit of it, don't think I will ever stop

Positive experience: Having trained at many other fighting gyms/academy gyms I enjoy OMAA, the coaches are outstanding and their teaching makes a real difference to not only performance but also the whole atmosphere and vibe of the classes. What would make it 5 stars is if the head coach- Dean James were to teach more days per week at an even level to Josias. The gym is missing a trick here.

Negative experience: Awful experience. I went twice, and on both occassions the trainers were sitting around or talking to each other the whole time instead of teaching or paying any interest. It was super un-organised, so alot of time going back and forth to get equipment and to get access to the facility. They let someone who is a participant and not a trainer take over the session, and thereafter he pushed us hard even though I am a beginner and hadn't warmed up. This resulted in a serious hip injury, so I won't be able to train for a year or so now.

Fantastic experience: Muay Thai is the best

Fantastic experience: Just moved here from California and was in search of a new gym to continue training Muay Thai and I couldn't be happier. The coaching staff is incredibly talented, super friendly, and most of all everyone has been very welcoming. Another great part is they have a huge variety in available times to train. Been in and out of gyms a bunch over the past couple of months and this is by far my favorite.

Negative experience: For a monthly membership of about £50 per month: Instructors consistently rock up late to classes, often just training during the sessions rather than coaching. The class schedule for beginners, int, advanced is meaningless i.e. you can arrive as a beginner to a beginner session and end up full contact sparring with advanced members incl. head contact and no head gear. The facility itself is fantastic but ultimately not worth the money given the poor service and management.

Fantastic experience: BJJ with Max Campos is 10 out of 10

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, very friendly, Very professional couldn't recommend them enough

Negative experience: Too expensive

Fantastic experience: Great place to train with great people

Fantastic experience: Friendly bunch and a great workout session

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for over 6 months to go to the BJJ classes. The coaches, staff and people who attend the classes are all very friendly and professional. I've learnt so much and become a lot fitter in a short period of time. Would definitely recommend coming along and giving it a try. What do you have to lose?

Negative experience: Classes and Trainers are good Management is awful Had problem with membership but management didn't seem to help at all

Fantastic experience: We were passing throw town and came for a single working session, we got a worm welcome. The instructor was great and gave a wonderful class it was obvious that the level there is at the top.

Fantastic experience: Mint place couldn't find any decent muay Thai places in oxford. Professional, friendly and sound atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great spirit at the club across the martial arts. Excellent coaches, good atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I do Muay Thai here - coaches are awesome, facilities great

Negative experience: The management and membership system is not aimed for providing a service but getting your money. Read the T&C before you sign up. They wont take responsibility for anything but happily take your money and cover themselves with their T&C. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for membership if you do not want any nasty surprises later on.

Negative experience: trener ......

Fantastic experience: I think they are most quality martial arts club for the money.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, good clean facilities and excellent boxing instruction for beginners upwards
