KATA Friday 1st July
For Yellow Belts & Above
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
BROKEN & dislocated toes
We are seeing a few students that are turning up/rolling up their uniform trouser legs on the outside.
Please do not do this as in the past we have had broken and dislocated toes from students catching their toes in the rolls.
We appreciate that you want a uniform that your child can grow in to, and we support this.
That is why we suggest rolling the waist band and tying with the draw string.
Hemming the trouser cuffs on the inside is ok as long they are unable to catch their toes when putting on the trousers.
If seen, we will ask student to leave class to unroll and turn up at waist, then they may join back in.
We dont want the possiblity of you spending hours at the hospital with a broken or dislocated toes.

100 Push Ups a day Challenge
Some of you or your children take part in the monthly Fitness that I put up, but this month I thought we could make it more of a CHALLENGE and maybe raise a little for the Time Norfolk the pregnancy loss charity
The challenge is to perform 100 push ups a day for the whole of July. That is 3100 push ups….PHEW!!!
you do not need to do them in 1 go, break it down during the day.
If you could ask someone to donate you/your child £5 we have a WIN WIN situation.
The charity get £5 and you get stronger which will help your martial arts.
Let your instructor know that you are taking part please.
Well done to those that recently passed their Yellow Sash in Kungfu

WHO WOULD LIKE £20??
I guess all of us could do with £20 in their pocket or piggy bank.
Well im giving away £20 notes to my students who refer a friend to SESMA
If your friend attends a Free taster and then completes a beginners intro trial course, we will give you £20 for introducing them.
Easy as that.
Either ask them to book via sesma.co.uk and click on the “Student Refer A Friend” button or pick up a Referral Card from your instructor, put your name on it, add your friends details and bring back to the studio.
We will do the rest and you could receive a £20 note.
