"I wholeheartedly support the efforts of Mike Rozumek's Karate Center and your integration of the S.T.A.R Program into the study of karate. I believe that this program holds much promise for the future of children and adolescents and that the program could readily serve as a model for other karate centers nationwide."

- Mrs. Judy Robinson, Ph.D. , Developmental and Educational Psychology, and mother.

"As a parent, I can see what the S.T.A.R program , combined with martial arts training, has done for my son. He has gained more self-control over the year he has been enrolled. He has become more respectful, more thoughtful, and has much more self-confidence. I feel S.T.A.R. has played a very important role in his life."

- Sue Skelly, child educator

"The S.T.A.R. program has shown the students how to behave responsibly in various situations," said Eileen Kaskons, a high school teacher. "Although respect is an integral part of martial arts study, other important lessons such as how to be kind, courteous, and fair have shown the children how these ideals apply to their interactions with others." Kaskons adds that her son who completed the program "now thinks of the effect of his actions on others. He is more aware of unacceptable behaviors. He really has changed since he enrolled in the S.T.A.R. program."
