Mu Alpha Xi is a fraternal order. Fraternal orders are unique communities. The purpose of an unique community is to provide content and value to its members. Mu Alpha Xi has many agents, associates, social contacts, and fringers all of whom participate in our various programs. However, the real benefits of Mu Alpha Xi are derived by those who are brothers.

The major benefit derieved by the brothers is access to our private sessions and workout time with other brothers. We do not offer any sparring times to the general public, and for good reason. During the pre-founding phase we researched other martial groups at various colleges, looking to see what worked for them and what didn't. Their number one problem was that of outsiders coming into their sessions and injuring members during workout - essentially using them as glorified punching bags. The injured member would not gain anything from being beat up and the outsider would not come back the next week. It's not hard to see why these groups fold almost as soon as they start up. These outsiders violated the most sacred law of martial training: never do anything to someone that you couldn't take yourself.

What membership in Mu Alpha Xi provides is access to a group of people who enjoy martial arts and work out regularly in private sessions held by the fraternity. These people hold your health and safety in their best interest for the long term, because it is tied to their health and safety for the long term.

To ensure the integrity of our group we screen all applicants for a variety of things: self-control, experience, looseness, and willingness to learn and to teach, among other qualities. This screening process is called the Candidate Process.
