KATA Friday 5th January
For Yellow Belts & Above
SO MANY students have benefited from attending these friday sessions.
Kata is the foundation of martial arts, it not only helps with learning blocks and strikes, but also improves memory, discpline and focus.
For students that are on the Advance /Elite packages (2 classes per week) there is the dedicated KATA class that concentrates solely on your grade and kata.
Each class has 2-3 instructors to help you get your kata its best, but you will still need to practice at home too.
We are extremely awesome instructors, but you still need to do some work yourself.
Yellow belts and above will need to perform the new kata for their next belt.
The katas are also available to view on the SESMA Members Portal.
If you have not yet registered to the Portal then please follow link: Members Portal

Looking to get fit or lose a few xmas pounds?
I have lost a lot of fitness and found lots of weight over the period that i was unable to train due to my hip needing replacement.
Now that i have a new one, im keen to get back to my former self.
I was wondering if some of you would like to join me in getting fitter and slimmer.
I will be posting a monthly fitness workout plan that you can do at home in your own time.
There are also healthy eating advice/recipes and other workouts available on the Members Portal.
If you need a little “accountability”, I will set up a SESMA Fitness FB group for those that need that extra little bit of support, which im one off.
I will post more details soon on here and on the Members Facebook Group.
If interested in joining the SESMA Fitness Group, please email me your interest to wayne@sesma.co.uk or text/whatsapp me 07739914684

Special Offer for Parents
Parents have you ever thought of joining in with you children while they are learning their martial art?
I know some of you have and once taken the step of joining in have really enjoyed themselves, and have graded for their belts.
This is how Sensei Lynda & Maria started their martial art journey by training with their children.
There are not many sports or hobbies that can get you fit, confidence to protect yourself and enjoy with your children.
The excuse I hear a lot of the time is that “I’m too old to do that”, but you are never too old to enjoy time with your children.
I would like to encourage parents to support their children and train as a family by offering parents a free beginners 4 lesson trial and a reduced membership price of £49.
To take advantage of this great offer, you must have started your free trial during January
This offer is available during the month of January
You will move into the BBT class with your child and will be helped by one of the Elite Leadership students so that you will quickly feel at ease and pick up the techniques.
If you are interested please speak to Master Wayne or reception, alternatively you can phone Master Wayne or Sue on 01603 528689 or email info@sesma.co.uk
