Wrestling at Oxford?

I'm a non-UK student considering Oxford for graduate school. I'm very interested in wrestling and have heard good things about the Iffley Gym -- but can't seem to find any information on wrestling online. Does anyone here who goes to Oxford know if there is a wrestling team or club and how I might get in touch with them?

I remember a guy at freshens fair trying to start a wrestling club. During. maybe it took Off.

I haven't heard of a wrestling club. If there isn't one try judo :yep:

Reply 3

the other option is to start one yourself. there's so many americans in Oxford there's bound to be a few keen people out there.

Lol, being dropped on ones head. You have a typo in your signature by the way.

As part of wrestling?

Thank you for the heads-up. In the spirit of fair exchange: you have one in your post.

If you upset a wrestler, don't see why not. Personally I prefer, and know more about, judo.

Touche, although the odd post is surely better than a signature on every post.

Some contacts from the British Wrestling Association.I think you might as well e-mail the rep for the Midlands and Wales.

The only type of wrestling I'm interested in is the greasy, Turkish type. Perhaps I'll start a club when I come up, open to any strapping young lad willing to don a pair of lederhosen & douse himself in olive oil. If you knew anything of sexual psychology, you would know that nothing could give me keener pleasure than to be m-m-m-manhandled by you meaty boys: ecstasy of the naughtiest kind.

I'm sure you'll find a great deal of enjoyment in tutorials.

Just follow Cambridge's example, and you can't go far wrong.

Wow this was a long time ago! Sale Lily was an american who ran an oxford wrestling club at oxford uni sports club from 2005 to around 2007. Christina Trueman ran a club in Barton from 2008 till around 2010.. all that remained beyond that is oxford martial arts academny (omaa) in cowley which is not great for beginners.. lots of meatheads etc. Which is a shame.
