Introducing Kato Martial Arts
Same Spirit, Fresh Identity
After many years as Tang Sou Dao Hornchurch, we’re excited to officially continue our journey under a new name: Kato Martial Arts.
This change reflects our desire to grow, evolve, and create something truly our own — while still honouring the roots and principles that have guided us since day one.
🥋 Why the Change?
Our time as Tang Sou Dao Hornchurch has been filled with incredible memories, hard-earned belts, and a growing martial arts family we’re proud of. As our club developed and our community expanded, we realised it was time for a fresh identity — one that reflects the unique energy, creativity, and vision of our students and instructors.
The name Kato Martial Arts symbolises agility, strength, and character — qualities we strive to build in every class.
🙌 What’s Staying the Same?
Everything you already know and love:
-
✅ Friendly, family-focused classes
-
✅ Self-defence training with discipline and control
-
✅ Supportive instructors who know every student
-
✅ Classes for kids, teens, and adults
-
✅ Affordable pricing and free first lessons
This isn’t a break from the past — it’s a step forward built on the same foundation.
📍 Where Are We Now?
We’re still proudly teaching in Hornchurch and Romford, with our usual sessions at:
-
Emerson Park Community Hall (Mondays)
-
Holy Cross Church, Hornchurch (Tuesdays & Wednesdays)
Whether you’ve been training with us for years or are just curious to give martial arts a try, we’d love to welcome you into the next chapter of our club.
🎟️ First lesson is still FREE
