SESMA Superstars
Future Instructor
One of our amazing students, recently told her peers in her year book and year group that when she grows up, she wants to become a martial arts instructor with SESMA.
That is an amazing compliment to our instructor team.
When she becomes a Yellow Belt, Tahlia will be invited to be a Beginner Buddy and her 1st step to becoming an instructor.
Karate Train and Grade
Only for karate yellow, Orange, Green, 2nd Green, Blue Belts
For those who may not have been ready the previous grading and for those who want to get ahead, we are running a special training and grading days which allow people an extra grading. It involves a 4 hour training session, followed by a free grading.
The training session will be run by min of 2 instructors, and will cover all the things that are on the syllabus for the next grade.
This option is only available for a limited amount of students, so it is basically a first come first served situation. If you are interested in this, please either put name & grade on an envelope with payment and pass to your Sensei or book via the link.
The price is £75 per person
Please bring a drink, snack & lunch as there will be breaks during the day to keep their energy and concentration up. No fizzy drink or sweets.

The Bush has changed ownership and happy for us to use their grounds and access to the river, but we are NOT allowed to bring a picnic.
This is due to the new owners organising food trucks every weekend.

As courtousy to the pub owners and keeping a good relationship between the Bush and SESMA, i please ask that you purchase a drink from the pub and not bring a picnic.

Add Your Heading Text HereBeginner Buddies
We are looking for a selection of Yellow & Orange Belt students that are interested in helping beginners feel welcome in the classes.
We all know that it can be quite a step to enter a place for the 1st time, where everyone looks like they are friends and having fun.
That may even have been you when you first came to SESMA for your intro trial class.
The instructors thought, wouldnt it be great if we could team up a beginner with a student that would make them feel welcome and assist them during the class.
That beginner would then have a friend that they can speak to ask questions and show them the sesma etiquette.
So that beginners know which students are Beginner Buddies, those that are chosen to be a SESMA BB, they will have BB printed Yellow Belt.
Parent Offer - 1/2 price membership
Many of you sit and watch your child learn & have fun in the karate classes.
Why not join them on the mat and have fun too.
Many parents have taken that scary first step and have enjoyed so much that they wished they did it sooner.
Martial arts is a great way to bond with your child, learning and having fun together and the bonding doesn’t stop on the mat, it continues at home to.
Plus the added benefit is that your body gets fitter, your mind gets sharper and you are learning to defend yourself.
If you would like to join your child on the mats, speak to reception and we will size you up for a suit and 1/2 price membership, it’s as easy as that.
The hard bit is taking that 1st step.
