When my daughter started back in April 2021 I didn’t know what to expect but man my daughter loves it so much. Her self confidence and focus has improved a lot and the instructors are awesome and help the kids out. I recommend USA Karate to everyone.

USA Karate in Rosemount is more than just a Karate studio. The outstanding instructors instill leadership, discipline, attention to detail and accountability within each lesson. My son has had to earn each belt and will be achieving his Black Belt in 2019. Great studio for kids of all ages and adults as well.

From the first day I signed my son up for classes at USA Karate, I start to see many things different with him in a good way! Now he is a green belt. He started to be great in everything like cleaning his room, helping to clean the house, helping with the dishes, and at school too. The school called me to meet my son's teacher and she told me how my son is different than before. He is smarter with more focus, more confidence, his memory is better, he is a good helper, he shares with others what he learns in karate. God bless the teachers at karate that they help my son improve so much. I want to tell everyone to try USA Karate for their family in Rosemont with Mr. Seme and Mrs. Johnson.

My kids started karate when they were 5 & 7, they have recently graduated with their first degree black belts. The process has taught my kids many key life skills. Confidence, perseverance, patience, self forgiveness, self discipline. Overall the instructors are very talented, well rounded and very patient with the kids. We are very proud of our kids and grateful to USA Karate Rosemount for all they do/did to help positively influence them.

The Heyman children are growing both in their Karate skills and their respect. They are excited to go and love to challenge each other to be the best.

My wife and I did not think our daughter Amelia would like going to karate. She had gone with our neighbor girl. She loves going to USA Karate & Yoga in Rosemount. The instructors Mr. Seme and Mrs. Johnson are very nice and very professional. They teach the kids to treat others with respect & just to be good kids overall. They teach the kids to focus not only in their class but in school and at home. My daughter proudly told me she used black belt focus in school the other day. Amelia sure is excelling in her karate skills thanks to the wonderful instructors!!

My girls who are ages 7 and 11 have been a part of karate USA for almost a year. Within a month into the program, my husband and I started seeing such a big difference in their character. We honestly believe that this is the best things we have done for our girls. As leadership student not only are they learning incredibly self defence techniques but I watch their characters being built into such respectful , strong and courageous young ladies. Thank you Mr. Seme and Mrs. Johnson for making such a positive impact in ours girls life. Karate will always be a part of them.

My grandson has been going to USA Karate for over a year. Yesterday, my grandson told me that Steve Seme was his hero! I asked, why? My grandson said, "because Steve helps me and makes me feel good about me! And, Steve makes him smile. I love it because the program gives my grandson self confidence, self of accomplishment and teaches us to not give up!!

Joining USA Karate has truly been a blessing in disguise for us. Although we originally explored USA Karate, Rosemount, for my five-year-old son, my daughter was hooked after her very first lesson. In her past eight months as a USA Karate student, her self-confidence, motivation, mental and physical abilities have improved immensely. Now, as a Black Belt Leadership student, she's earning honors at school and participating in their Gifted and Talented program! As an added bonus, I, too, have gained knowledge, skills and awareness through the additional training and materials offered within the Black Belt Leadership program! We are extremely grateful for this program, and for Mr. Seme's and Mrs. Johnson's instruction, dedication and passion for empowering others!

My son absolutely loves coming to karate. He has gained many skills, including confidence and self control. He has made many good friends while learning. The Instructors are amazing. They get to know each student and provide support, guidance, and challenge each one to do their very best.

Thank you for hosting such a meaningful event. Thank you, Mr. Seme for being such a wonderful role model not only to my by son, but also to me. You reminded me of so many important things in regards to being our best selves. Plus, I broke a freaking board!!! How many mom's can say that!?!

I enrolled my 6 year old son in USA Karate Rosemount to improve his strength and focus. After 6 months, he has not only improved his strength, but also in other areas of his life. The coaches here are amazing at what they do, and go above and beyond to ensure the kids are successful beyond karate. I was not aware of the character development program that goes along with karate. Due to character development, my son now is more helpful around the house doing chores, even helps around the gym without even asking. The biggest improvement I have seen thus far is his focus. He was lagging behind his reading assignments in school. Just in six months he has caught up, and reads more books than he needs to. I am very excited to see the positive improvements this program can bring to kids. Thank you coach Steve. You are doing an amazing work!
