Our students participated in a kickathon event to raise money to support the children in need at the Rock Hill, SC Children's Attention Home!
This youth social services organization provides shelter and care for displaced children. For our 2019 community project, we were able to raise a total of $4,905.85!
Hello, I’m usually not a big fan of sharing with the public but this is not normal times! I am so proud of USK as a company, as friends, and as a big part of our family. Everything y’all have done to stay connected with us and still provide us with classes has been amazing and so appreciated. It meant so much to me as a mom that y’all made the belt test happen, but even more to Amelia. She has worked so hard to earn her greenbelt and it has been a daily topic of conversation around her for months! Today to see the pride in her face as she tested for you and then read your email, it was truly wonderful. So again thank you so much for all that you do!
Sincerely, Erin Schmid
We have been very pleased with our experience at USK Martial arts. Our daughter, who is a type 1 diabetic, enjoys the chance to be active without the pressure of competition. She loves that each time she practices, she has the opportunity to reach a new goal. She has become disciplined in practicing her forms and terminology in hopes of reaching her next belt goal. She did not seem like the personality to enjoy structure, but she has thrived in the classes and is the first to yell "yes sir" or "yes ma'am". I was leary at first, but I have been won over. Master Amy has taken special attention to my daughter. Several times she has taken time to personally help achieve goals and encourage my daughter to try her hardest, going as far as to let me video tape a form lesson. We appreciate the extra 5 minutes that she gave us when she saw that we needed help. We have been pleased with all of the instructors, each adding something different to the studio. They are all kind, yet firm and have expectations that have pushed my daughter to try her hardest. We have had the pleasure of having Grand Master Kim teach as well, which I think is wonderful that he takes the time to even teach the white belts. He doesn't act "too good" but seems genuinly invested in the kids starting with good form and a passion for what they are learning and gives reasons behind why things need to be the way that they are. All in all, we have are very happy with our experience and look forward to seeing our daughter move up through her belts and meeting all of her goals and seeing the structure and discipline flow over into our home.
My girls and I began taking classes at USK Fort Mill in January of 2017. They came highly recommended and they have not dissapointed. Master Amy and Mister Howie are top notch instructors and more importantly, top notch people. Both of our girls have shown tremendous improvement in their behavior both at home and at school. Take the plunge if you are considering USK... your family will love it!
