Events

Gradings, Competitions & Seminars in Romford & Hornchurch

At Kato Martial Arts, the journey to Black Belt extends beyond our weekly classes. Whether you train in Hornchurch, Romford, or Emerson Park, our events calendar is designed to challenge you, build your confidence, and bring our community together.

From your first belt grading to competitive league tournaments, this is where you take your training to the next level.

What’s On the Calendar?

🥋 Belt Gradings & Assessments Progress is key. We hold regular grading sessions for all levels, from White Belt beginners to Senior Black Belts. These events are the milestones of your martial arts journey, allowing you to demonstrate the skills, discipline, and focus you have honed in the dojo.

🏆 The Havering Interclub League Competition is about testing yourself, not just fighting others. We host the Havering Interclub League locally in North Romford—a safe, light-contact tournament series designed to introduce students to the thrill of competition in a controlled, friendly environment.

⚔️ Seminars & Weapons Workshops Looking to broaden your skillset? We regularly host specialized seminars featuring guest instructors and deep dives into specific disciplines, including our popular Weapons Training (Bokken, Nunchaku, and Jo Staff) and advanced self-defence workshops.
