2024 WTKA world championships

Sam & Ethan with their Medal Horde

Sesma Competition squad athletes Ethan Preston and Sam Seely have just finished up at the 2024 WTKA world championships in Italy both have prepared immensely for this event and regardless of the results they have done me proud and have shown themselves to be great role models for upcoming young competitors.
SESMA’s first ever WTKA world champion 🎉🏆

Sam Seely beat France in the final of 13-15yrs Cadet Kumite to bring home the gold🥇

Ethan had so many great wins in his heats which earnt him a place in the finals in both continuous and points kickboxing. All said and done he fought very skillfully all weekend and with only 2 years kickboxing under his belt he achieved 2x Silver, vice championship medals at his first world event.

Sam went on to claim multiple silver medals in Japanese kata including the higher age group 16-17yrs against competitors from Slovakia and Italy.

Next year SESMA will be sending a full team so if interested in competing at international events make yourselves known and get to comp training so we have enough time to prepare and improve with professional coaching and correct amateur competitions.

Parents....

As you know, we would like parents to come to the SESMA Door to pick up their children, even more so now that the nights are drawing in.

This is for the safety of your children, as the carparks are busy with the change over of classes.
Children do not see the danger when they run across the carpark to you sitting in your car.

Also we can not see parents in their cars and have in the past had children run to similar looking cars.

All our instructors are 1st Aid trained, but we do not really want to practice on a child that has been hit by a car.

So please meet your child at the door.  Thank you
