This year’s Championship will be held at Harrow Lodge Leisure Centre, Hornchurch Road, RM11 1JU on 15th November 2025. All students who have graded are encouraged to join. It is an opportunity to meet other students a similar grade from different regions who are on the same martial arts journey.
You will also have the chance to watch the black belts compete in the Thau forms events and the Tooi Ta sparring events. There will also be demonstrations from different regions.
Although this is a competition, it is held in a controlled way. All students are encouraged to compete, and to test themselves by pushing themselves out of their comfort zone. The experience in participating in our Championship is an achievement in itself. We do not practice to win medals, but for our own personal development. Competing, and learning how to win and lose with grace can be a part of that development. Our Championship is predominantly for students test themselves, to meet each other and feel part of our Tang Sou Dao community.

There will be a number of other awards on the day for those students who have shown outstanding sportsmanship and achievement. This includes a special award in memory of Bill Edwards, to the Outstanding under 16 Student of the year. Last year it went to the well-deserving Genevieve Hing-Robinson.
Championship Day is always a memorable day that brings out the best in our students. We hope you will be a part of it.
Tang Sou!!!!
