January Fitness
Is you New Year’s Resolution to start getting fit or lose those extra few inches.
Try our 28 days of fitness to kickstart you fitness goal.
28 days forms a habit, so not only will you be getting fitter, but exercising will become part of your day.
One of the main reasons people fail with their New Year’s resolution is COMMITMENT.
Drink plenty of water and cut down on those chocolates and biscuits that are left over from xmas.

Review of 2021 What a Year
2021 Review
We all started the 2021 New Year thinking that Covid-19 was left in 2020, but we were so wrong.
With lockdowns, restrictions and classes on Zoom, SESMA had their hands tied on how much they could do for the SESMA family and the community.
But since restrictions were lifted to a point, where we could go back to some sense of normality, SESMA have worked hard to make up for lost ground.
Here’s a quick review of 2021, well half of 2021 anyway….
Zoom Fitness
SESMA held twice weekly zoom fitness classes for those that were either isolating themselves or off work to look after their children that were isolating.
Online International Kata Competitions
SESMA students have been competing in Kata online, in a series of International Competitions.
Students have to record themselves performing a Kata and then upload them to their relevant competition category.
These are then scored with other entries by selected high level judges from around the world.
During 2021 the following SESMA student have won:
Ben Fordham: 3 silver, 7 Bronze
Rhys Carter: 7 Golds, 1 Silver
Lexie McLellan: 3 Gold, 8 Silver, 3 Bronze
Chloe Miller: 13 Golds, 8 Silver, 2 Bronze
Anji Hedges: 4 Gold
Mylee Hedges: 40 Gold, 17 Silver, 9 Bronze, 3 Grand Champions.
Anti-Bullying & Womens/Girls Self-Protection
SESMA delivered free anti-bullying workshops to local schools in the area.
This helped over 1000 children become more aware of bullying and what to do in the event of being bullied.
SESMA has built a website to give advice to those that are being bullied and also advice for parents with children that are being bullied.
Instructors and staff of SESMA have completed an Anti-Bullying Awareness course run by the Anti-Bullying Alliance.
SESMA has teamed up with Stacy Bradley of Transforming Local Communities enterprise to deliver free Self-Protection Workshops to over 125 Girls/Women in the local area.
Helping girls and women feel more confident and externally and internally aware.
1st Aid
SESMA joined up with Andy Anderson of First Aid at Work Norfolk to deliver children’s first aid course at the SESMA Studio, raising money for the Norfolk Air Ambulance.
Supporting Break Charity
SESMA Students & William’s Way Estate Agents teamed together to purchase a community Breakasaurus T-Rex to decorate for the 2022 Dinosaur Trail.
Family Days
SESMA organized monthly family days which consisted of treasure trials, superspies and detectives. These were held in local coastal towns and villages, where children not only had fun solving clues, but learnt about the towns/villages too.
Halloween & Christmas Parties
Halloween was for many the first party they have been able to attend since Covid hit in 2020, so there was much fun and laughter as the children jumped on the bouncy castles and played.
Unfortunately our Christmas party had to cancelled due to Covid concerns at it spoiling everyones Christmas and preventing families coming together.
Was does 2022 bring for SESMA
Was does 2022 bring for SESMA

More Self-Protection courses for girls and women in the Norfolk area.

SO…all at SESMA look forward to seeing you back at classes in the New Year and ready to kick 2022 in to action.
