Members' events

Courage earns confidence. Our events are where it happens.

Three times a year, we bring the whole Warrior community together in a safe, supportive environment where students step outside their comfort zone and compete. We also run three Advanced Training Days a year, ideal for students who can't train twice a week.

1. Competitions

South West Champs, Summer Samurai and Winter Warrior

Three times a year, every club comes together for a friendly, well run competition. It is the safest place for a first competition: the day is run by the instructors your child already knows, and our older students look after the younger ones. Children push themselves outside their comfort zone in a space that feels like home.

  • 5 categories, so 5 chances to win a trophy
  • Small groups of 3 to 8 students, so there is a real chance of going home with one
  • A free Warrior T-shirt for every competitor
  • A family day out: watching the other events takes the nerves away for next time
Competition Pass £49
Early bird price for a limited time, then £55.

2. Advanced Training Days

Three hours of 1-to-1 coaching for blue belts and above

More than 200 of our students are blue belt or above, and only 20 get a place on each Advanced Day. That keeps the group small enough for every student to get personal coaching from our black belt instructors.

It is the best preparation for an upcoming grading or competition, and the perfect top-up for students who can't train several times a week but still want to reach black belt.

4. Questions parents ask

Before you book

My child has never competed. Is it right for them?

Yes. Our competitions are built for first timers: the instructors running the day are the ones your child trains with, groups are small, and older students help the younger ones.

How quickly do places go?

Fast. More than 500 families are invited for 60 competitor places, and our last competition sold out within 3 weeks. Advanced Days have 20 places each.

Can I get a refund?

Bookings are non-refundable. If your child is ill or injured before an Advanced Day, their ticket moves to the next one.

Who needs a spectator ticket?

The Competition Pass includes 3. Any other spectator aged 16 or over needs a £4 ticket.

Is my child ready for an Advanced Day?

If they are a blue belt or above, yes. It is especially useful in the weeks before a grading or competition.
