Dedicated Sessions


These sessions will have a specific focus that changes week to week.

Our term-time dedicated sessions are returning after the main session on Sunday! We are also putting on additional sessions on Saturday mornings. These will mostly be World Taekwondo (WT) Olympic-style refresher sessions with the occasional BUCS patterns practice session (both WT and ITF). These don’t take place every week due to other events on the weekends, so see below for the timetable!

Feel free to come along to these as a WT practitioner or if you wish to try some of the Olympic style of Taekwon-Do!

 

Membership Information for 2024-25


Everybody can attend two free taster sessions, after which you will need to register as an official club member.

For 2024-25, we are moving to an online membership platform. Click the link below to get started:

https://member.outkd.co.uk/

Once you create an account, head to “My Memberships” on the menu on the right-hand side, then “Add Membership” and select Oxford University Taekwon-Do School. We have a variety of membership options available:

Once you have paid, you will receive a QR code for your phone that will allow you to pass through the Iffley Road barriers. The code can also currently be added to an Apple Wallet.

Note: If you are a community member, you will need an Oxford University Sport ID. You can get one here by selecting the free ‘pay as you go’ option.

If You Have an Existing Membership

If you purchased a yearly membership over the summer using the old form system, or if you have a monthly or termly membership that is not yet expired:

Please purchase the relevant free continuing membership option and then purchase a paid one when your current membership expires. This will allow you to also use the online system.

Licences


The UKTA Licence is required by our sport's National Governing Body (UKTA) to provide you with insurance coverage to safely participate in our classes. This is different from the club's membership.

New Licence Procedure

We are now using a new online license system through the UKTA, which will make it easier for you to renew your licenses each year. You can also manage your membership and register for events with the UKTA if you wish to do so.

For New Members:

If you are a new member of OUTKD and purchasing your license for the first time, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to www.ukta.com.
  2. Navigate to Membership >> Join/Renew to access the membership portal.
  3. Click on Sign Up and enter your details.
  4. Make sure to select "Oxford UNIVERSITY TKD" as your Taekwon-Do school (not "Oxford City," which is a separate school, also run by Mr Tomkinson).
  5. Complete the required fields and proceed to purchase your annual club membership.
  6. Select Pay with Card and complete the transaction.

For Existing Members (License Renewal):

If you are an existing member of OUTKD (with a current license), please follow these steps:

  1. Go to www.ukta.com.
  2. Navigate to Membership >> Join/Renew.
  3. Log in using your email or UKTA license number.
  4. Click Forgot Password if logging in for the first time.
  5. Update your emergency contact and medical information.
  6. Do not purchase your club membership until your current one has expired – you will receive a renewal notification from UKTA when the time comes.

Reminder: This process is for UKTA licenses (membership and insurance). Membership of OUTKD is still managed through the system.

If you have any questions or need assistance with this new system, feel free to reach out to Mr Tomkinson — he will be happy to help.
