3 Best Martial Arts in Norwich, UK

I joined SESMA 2 years ago, to help with my mobility. I have multiple chronic health conditions. The Sensei's at SESMA are friendly, helpful, patient. It has allowed me to be more mobile, confident, stronger and social. Unlike other dojo's I have been to, SESMA is a welcoming place, free of elitists and in no way intimidating. Highly recommend SESMA for youngsters and adults.

Arguably one of the best if not the best Karate school in the country. Super friendly, like a family, technically very high standard, which is reflected in their ongoing high numbers of Team GB members and World Championship titles. They do parent and child classes and it’s such a nice way to spend time together and do something for your coordination, fitness, flexibility, strength, balance and stamina, which is so important for health and longevity. My daughter has blossomed to be more confident again and it’s a joy to see how far she’s come. They are also trained and equipped to teach children with educational needs. We also enjoy the special events such as the games evening and the paddle board family day. Very happy that we’ve joined, as it so much more than just a sports club.

I've tried marshal arts a couple of times at other places but found the classes to be overly serious and elitist. But at SESMA, right from the outset, the staff and students have all been really friendly and welcoming. I've had been coming here for just over a year for karate lessons with my son when I decided to sign up for kickboxing as well. It's a great addition to the karate and means I'm in the dojo 3 days a week doing things I wish I'd taken up decades ago (I'm 43)! If you're at all nervous about taking up martial arts, sign up for a trial and give it a go.

My son and I have been students at Sesma for several years. The studio and training is first class and the committed staff strive to make the training accessible for everyone and are with you throughout your martial arts journey. Sesma is more than just a martial arts school, it is an extended family. Master Wayne and the team of instructors and staff go above and beyond to support their students, their students family and the community. I highly recommend Sesma to anyone that wants to start studying martial arts or just want to get fit whilst building confidence, discipline and friendships. - Jason D Reply

Sesma had helped my teenage daughter build her confidence, before starting High School, she was so shy and anxious. We started her at Kickboxing with Sesma 5 years ago, she has blossomed into this confident amazing young lady, now a Junior Instructor working towards her Black belt. Sesma has helped her achieve that. Can't recommend them high enough. My youngest has been with them for 4 years wanting to follow her sister's footsteps and she absolutely loves it. This encouraged me to start the adult Kickboxing classes, doubting myself if I was ever going to keep up with it or even was I good enough? I wasn't sure I could do it but, I pushed myself and continue to do it every time and proof myself I can do it. I absolutely love it! The Highlight of my week is attending these classes. I am more confident on myself, healthier, happier and stronger mentally, emotionally and physically. Anything is possible. Sesma is Not Just a Martial Arts School, It is a Family! - Leandra M Reply
