Tommy Sleep out
One of our younger SESMA Superstars took part in a Sleep Out to raise money for the Royal British Veterans.
The fundraising event ” The Great Tommy Sleep Out” is to highlight that many of our veterans are homeless and sleep rough.
This is the second year that Janie (6) has helped raise funds by sleeping out under a tarp in the back garden with her dad.
This Janie planned to sleep out for 4 nights but ended up doing 6 through the cold, wind and rain, with some evenings hitting -1C.
With a goal to raise £150, Janie smashed that by raising £615.
Well done Janie, SESM are so proud of you.
SESMA Sponsoring Young Achiever Award
Celebrating the Next Generation of Community Champions 
Last year, SESMA Martial Arts had the honour of being nominated for the Business in the Community Award. Attending the awards evening was a powerful reminder of something we truly believe in…
There are incredible people in our community doing amazing things every single day — often without recognition.
That experience inspired us.
This year, we’re proud to be sponsoring the Young Achiever of the Year Award at the Broadland Community Awards 2026.
Because young people who step up, show kindness, lead by example, and make a difference deserve to be seen, celebrated, and remembered.
At SESMA, giving back has always been part of who we are.
And supporting this award is our way of shining a light on those young individuals who might otherwise go unnoticed… but are quietly changing lives around them.

💙 Giving Back Where It Matters Most 💙
As you know, at SESMA Martial Arts, we believe in supporting our community both on and off the mats.
That’s why this month, we’re proud to donate £250 to Thrive Autism — an incredible local charity making a real difference.
Thrive Autism supports neurodivergent children, young people, and their families across Norfolk, providing practical help, guidance, and a strong sense of community.
Their mission is powerful:
- To offer immediate support for families
- To create opportunities for connection, respite, and understanding
- And to build Norfolk’s first dedicated Autism Centre — a safe, inclusive space where every child can feel valued and supported.
This is exactly the kind of impact we believe in.
Because every child deserves the chance to grow in confidence, feel accepted, and truly thrive.
We’re honoured to play a small part in helping that happen.

Kids 1st Aid Course
Would your child know what to do in an emergency?
First aid training isn’t just for adults. Children aged 6–15 are more capable than we often realise — and when they’re taught properly, they can respond calmly and confidently in real-life situations.
Our Kids First Aid Course is designed to be practical, engaging and age-appropriate. We don’t scare children — we empower them.
They’ll learn:
✔️ How to stay calm in an emergency
✔️ How and when to call for help
✔️ Basic first aid for common injuries
✔️ What to do if someone is unconscious
✔️ Simple CPR awareness
Beyond the practical skills, something powerful happens…
Children grow in confidence.
They develop responsibility.
They begin to see themselves as capable and helpful.
Instead of feeling helpless, they feel prepared.
Places are limited to keep the sessions hands-on and interactive. If you’d like your child to gain skills that could one day make a real difference, message us for details or to reserve a space.

Sparring Pads
We have most pads in stock and now have matching Shin/Instep pads (inc an area to write student name)
We also have matching pad bags too which can be personlised with student name printed on.
Please speak to US before buying on Amazon as some pads are not compliant and can void your insurance/licence.
Plus it would be nice to support your club and not a business that you have no personal connection with.
