We put a post on our SESMA Facebook page asking for you to nominate a worthy course and the Miscarriage Association was chosen due to personal reasons of those that nominated.

10min plank a day Challenge

Some of you or your children take part in the monthly Fitness that I put up, but this month I thought we could make it more of a CHALLENGE and maybe raise a little for the Time Norfolk the pregnancy loss charity

The challenge is to perform 10mins of a plank a day for the whole of august. That is over 5 hours of planking….PHEW!!!

you do not need to do them in one go, break it down during the day, as long as you have completed 10mins for that day.

If you could ask someone to donate you/your child £5 we have a WIN WIN situation.

The charity get £5 and you get stronger which will help your martial arts.

Let your instructor know that you are taking part please.

BROKEN & dislocated toes

We are seeing a few students that are turning up/rolling up their uniform trouser legs on the outside.

Please do not do this as in the past we have had broken and dislocated toes from students catching their toes in the rolls.

We appreciate that you want a uniform that your child can grow in to, and we support this. 
That is why we suggest rolling the waist band and tying with the draw string.

Hemming the trouser cuffs on the inside is ok as long they are unable to catch their toes when putting on the trousers.  

If seen, we will ask student to leave class to unroll and turn up at waist, then they may join back in.

We dont want the possiblity of you spending hours at the hospital with a broken or dislocated toes.
