SESMA Students Smash it.
At the weekend, Assistant Instructors Rhys & Chloe as well as students Ben & Lexie took part in an online Kata/Forms competition and wiped the floor with their skills and complete awesomeness. For every Gold, Silver & Bronze trophy won there are points awarded to the martial arts school they represent. SESMA came top ahead of the runner up school by 47 points.
Well done guys, we are so proud of you all.
Master Wayne inducted in to the Black Belt Hall of Fame
Also at the weekend, The Black Belt Hall of Fame representation of awards were hosted this year online due to covid and lockdown. Master Wayne was nominated for the Devoted Instructor award for his continuing journey in martial arts over the last 40 years, winning multi World Champion & European Champion titles and training students to World Champion status. Also for his and the SESMA instructors devotion to their students in continuing martial arts tuition and training through lock downs and these unusual times. Master Wayne is honoured but feels that the award is for the Senior/Assistant instructors, staff and the SESMA Family which is you
Non-Uniform
As from Monday 14th December to the last training day of the year, you have the opportunity to not wear your SESMA uniform, wear something Christmassy. Whether a Elf hat or a complete Rudolf outfit, doesn’t matter as long as you can comfortably train in it.
The original Newsletter that was sent out to you all asked that you donated £1 to Rhys’s Help the Homeless at Christmas charity appeal.
Since then we have heard of the Brave Story of one of our junior karate students who is going to donate some of his bone marrow to his younger brother that has been diagnosed with Leukemia.
I can’t mention names as yet but we are all very proud of him.
Your £1 will help go towards the costs of travel etc to Addenbrookes for all the treatments that his younger brother will have to endure.
If you wish to donate more than a £1 then you are welcome.
