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!

We greatly appreciate the time and energy invested by Mr. & Mrs. Seme to teach us about the "7 Habits" to living more positive, productive lifestyles in our Black Belt Leadership program. I've recommended the book they provided, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" to both school staff and friends. If it would become a reading requirement in schools, I believe the students, staff and administrators would reap incredible rewards. It is that encouraging and empowering! We are grateful that our daughter is participating in the Black Belt Leadership program to gain this additional education and enhance her self-confidence and physical skills.

My son joined USA Karate in July 2021 for a number of reasons. He struggles with body control, respect, confidence, and behavior. I finally convinced myself that the principal and teachers at school had my number on speed dial but since joining karate my son is changing his ways. Nothing happens overnight but in a short 7 months he is doing AMAZING and I am so thankful for the work that Mr. Seme and Mrs. Johnson have put into helping and guiding him. Brayden loves going to karate every week!! THANK YOU for all your hard work. I recommend USA Karate 100%

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.

To be honest, I was quite leery of having my son take karate initially. He was having issues listening, hitting his brother and the last thing I wanted was for him to become more aggressive learning how to punch and kick. He's been in USA Karate Rosemount for about 6 months now and I've already noticed a drastic difference in positive life-skills that I never would have expected. He's now nicer to his brother, a much better listener and respectful in school and home. Nothing against other sports or programs, but more than anything else we've tried, Karate has been by far the most positive and motivating experience for him to date.

We are so pleased with the positive changes we are seeing in our son since joining USA Karate a few months ago. He is a better listener, has more self confidence, and enjoys helping with chores. The concept of goal setting is new to our son, but with the support of his karate teachers and the structure of this program, he's now proud to be working toward his black belt someday. Thank you Mr. Seme, Mrs. Johnson, and team for believing in him and helping so many kids succeed!

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!

The lessons my son has learned in karate are worth more than the money it takes to be trained.

Great learning experience! Joey has greatly improved in school due to the program. He loves and can’t wait to get his black belt in 2021!

Camille Heyman

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.

Evelyn has been working really hard at being helpful at home as well as using “yes sir” and “yes ma’am” to my wife and myself. She has been asking for more responsibility with chores at home. She is also working hard at school and being respectful to her brother and sister!
