Sacramento's Top Martial Arts School

Our son Kayden has been going to Kovars for a little over 10 weeks and just got his yellow belt. I cannot recommend the program at Kovars enough! Kayden is high functioning autistic, and has done swimming and kickboxing in the past, but he has NEVER been as determined or as focused as he is in this class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to any parent looking for a good educational and respectful sport. All of the staff are extremely attentive and work well with the kids. Also, every 5 weeks they focus on a different “life skill” including how to deal with bullies and standing up for yourself and even to your friends. Second also, they do monthly kids Saturday night events that are PERFECT for a family like ours who don’t have any family locally (aka Date night!) 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Such an amazing staff. My son has grown so much . Thank you.

This place is INCREDIBLE! Our son is excelling so well here and it is largely due to how great all of them are with the kids. He has been so interested since day 1 and his #1 thing he loves is the instructors.

I've been incredibly impressed with the instruction and overall experience at Kovar’s Satori Academy! Their mission to help people of all ages achieve their full potential through martial arts. This is clearly reflected in every aspect of their program. Whether you're here for self-defense, fitness, or personal growth, this friendly, safe, and positive environment ensures you or your child feel welcome and supported from day one. A special shoutout to the Program Director, whose dedication to the students and the academy is unwavering. The Lead Instructor does a phenomenal job breaking down complex techniques, ensuring each class is engaging, educational, and challenging for all levels. Additionally, the instructors and Teachers in Training (teen academy students and up) are incredible role models, demonstrating a passion for learning and teaching. Their energy, commitment, and support create a strong sense of community and inspire all students, young and old, to reach their full potential. Watching the growth of every member of the dojo is inspiring. If you're looking for a martial arts academy that not only focuses on self-defense but also emphasizes life skills and personal development, Kovar’s Satori Academy is the place to be!

Great training!

Love this place, my son loves the classes very much. Noticed, he develops so much confidence not to mention self discipline and all other positive attributes it provides. All in all, it’s worth your money.

I got my first degree here and even made demo team for a while. I was so grateful for both experiences and would definitely recommend for youngsters, young adults (20-30) and elders. If you're a parent between 40-50 don't hesitate and just watch your kids practice, join yourself!

This dojo has THE BEST INSTRUCTORS; and are amazing with kids.

Landon has been going to this school for 3 or 4 years. It is by far the best out there.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. My kid loves it. The instructors are all amazing. They are patient, kind, and know how to teach every type of child. You will not regret enrolling your kid at this academy.
