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.
This offer is available during the month of July and August.
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
