[learn_press_profile]
The Warrior Open returns on Saturday 11 March 2023 to its regular home, Byron Hall, Harrow Leisure Centre, London, England.
The competition is compulsory for all De Silva Club members aged 7 Years and above, as it is a unique opportunity to compete locally in London as a hosting club in an International Championship.
This is the safest way for students to stress test the skills they have been training as well as learn valuable life lessons about confidence, perseverance and self control. With that being said, every additional opportunity to compete in a tournament is of a huge benefit to the student, particularly those few which are local in London.

COMPETITION TRAINING SESSIONS
In preparation for the competition we are holding 3 competition training focused sessions in our Wembley and Ealing academies.
These sessions will be provided free of charge to all students who register to participate in The Warrior Open 2023.
Naturally, in class the students do sparring and competition prep alongside the academy's syllabus but these sessions will also cover all aspects of the competition in more depth.
There will be a dedicated group for complete beginners (White Belts and White Belt with Yellow Stripe) and a second one for all other grades.
