Karate classes for children & adults aged 6yrs+
- Fun, Confidence, Focus, Self-Protection
SESMA martial arts is more than a great hobby or a sport, its a Life Skill, it’s also great fun.
Whether you want to learn to defend yourself, get healthier & fitter or be a world champion, SESMA can help with your personal goals.
Our classes teach a lot more than kicks and punches. We aim to assist in the development of life-skills such as
All skills that help develop confident leaders in society, plus a solid foundation for education and employment.
Our classes are aimed at making the students a more rounded martial artist, whether they are learning for self-defence or wanting to compete at world championship level.
The classes cover most aspects from sport to street/playground and we are sure that our students could confidently be able to defend themselves in distance, close quarter and ground scenarios.
Even more importantly, be able to read situations and avoid situations before any physical intervention is needed.
The classes are split in to ability by using a coloured belt System.
This way the instructors can tailor the classes to the abilities of the students, which increases the amount the student learn and makes the classes more fun.
Beginners wear the traditional White Belt and train with other students of similar ability and with those of an intermediate skill setting.
Those of an intermediate ability that show a strong level of determination and focus are invited to the Elite classes, where they will work on more advance techniques and ultimately their Black Belt.
All our classes have a Senior instructor and most of our classes are assisted with a 1st Dan assistant instructor and Jnr Black belt.
We also have Buddy-Up students that are trained to help beginners during their first few classes. Younger students have found that this has helped with their confidence when first starting their classes.
All our instructors hold a current Enhanced DBS, insured, qualified in the style they teach and attend monthly instructor teaching workshops.
SESMA has a great track record of producing world class martial art competitors.
Many of our students have competed for England at European & World championship level.
At the World Martial Art Games 2019, SESMA brought home 21 Gold medals.
2024 Europeans 19 x Gold 14 x Silver and 8 x Bronze
We also have a Grassroots pathway into martial arts competitions giving the beginner competitor the experience needed to compete at high level.
Our programme will enhance this positive development in a fun and motivating way.
