Almost exactly 6 years ago I decided to repaint our front sitting room and put our martial arts values on the wall. At the time, one of the families in our martial arts classes for kids time owned a sign shop and was generous enough to create great vinyl lettering for the wording. Soon Confidence, […]

Becky Graf Bouley
Our son loves coming to karate & earning his stripes/belts! Mr. Roell has them talk about their goals and when they want to achieve them. He is wonderful with teaching respect, focus and self discipline.
The kids respect him and I love the life lessons he delivers at their level.
Focus & self discipline have improved at home & school. I highly recommend Mr. Roell and his teachings.
Denise Duncan
Mr. Roell is AWE-SOME-SAUCE!!!!!! My baby girl has grown in maturity and discipline, she’s 6! I recommend USA Karate to any and everyone.

USA Karate in Shakopee is excellent. Our daughter loves attending her classes and looks forward to it each evening. We have seen a lot of progress in her in just a month. Jacob and his team are awesome. I would higly recommend USA Karate – Shakopee.

USA Karate in Shakopee MN is one of the best things that our family has done to build strength, confidence and diligence. Mr. Roell is very good with the kids in every way. A perfect blend of humor and seriousness. All the kids honor, respect, and like him. We highly recommend this program!

Wishing there could be 10 on the rating scale to select, because it’s more than deserved!!
Instructor Roell goes above and beyond!! He is amazing with all the students, at all levels, from what I’ve witnessed. My daughter has not only learned a lot from him, but has grown as an individual more than I could have imagined (in such a short period of time)!
Discipline, focus, strength, confidence, new friendships, support (and more)… so much in such a short amount of time!!! Thankful and appreciative beyond what I can express in words.
Such a great instructor, teacher and role model for all those involved in his program!!! Oh, not to mention his selection of assistants! Instructor Roell has chosen great role models to help in his classes as well!!

Great place with a very dedicated and talented staff.
Tracey Hoff-Kalaus
Absolutely amazing! Both my boys (5yrs & 6yrs), my husband and I are learning Karate. For my boys I have seen such a change in their focus and discipline. For me it is fullfilling a life long dream. Mr. Roell does a fantastic job of talking to my boys in a way they understand and motivates them. He even lets me pick him (Mr. Roell) up and throw him on the ground LOL. This is an amazing program and would highly recommend to anyone who is even considering trying!!

That may seem like a strange title so we should clarify what we’re talking about. When we use the word “discipline” we’re talking about a framework of habits and tools we’ve combined which lead to success. Willpower is definitely a component of discipline but not all of it. As many of us know, trying to […]
Below are some excerpts from an article by Melody Schuman, a leader in applying principles of childhood development to martial arts programs. She describes some strategies on setting expectations for children and some ideas for disobedience once standards are set. Since we use most of the techniques she mentions I thought it would be a […]
