We absolutely LOVE Kovar’s in Rocklin! The senseis are hands-down the best part of this place. They’re so kind, they know every kid by name, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. It’s such a warm, welcoming environment that makes every child feel special.
Our 5-year-old has been going for a few months now and is completely hooked. He’s grown so much—not just physically but in confidence too. He looks forward to every class and comes out beaming every time.
What I really love is that Kovar’s isn’t just about learning martial arts. They spend time helping kids with goal-setting and character building too. It’s been such a positive influence on our little one, and honestly, I can’t think of a better place for kids to train.

Our twins have been going here for more than 2 years now. Mr. Sipes is excellent, patient & definitely hands on. I appreciate his focus & communication with the kids. He's also teaches them life skills & how to navigate with school & life in general.

Both of my boys have been attending this martial arts class for a few months, and I can already see a great improvement in both physical fitness and character development. The instructors are incredibly patient and skilled at working with kids of all ages and abilities.
The curriculum is well-balanced, combining techniques and games to keep the children engaged. I also appreciate the emphasis on safety, respect, discipline and teamwork, which has translated into better behavior at home and school.
Overall, I highly recommend this kids' martial arts class. It's a fantastic way for children to get active, build confidence, and develop important life skills.

We are very impressed with the teaching style here at Kovars! The teachers are friendly, and make the class fun and engaging for the students. They are clear and concise with their teaching, and they demonstrate each step along the way. They encourage the kids which creates a safe environment for them to try to new things. They also do a great job of helping the kids to practice focus and responsibility. Our kids love it and we love how they are learning so many new things that will increase their strength, their safety, and their confidence in life.

My 10 year old absolutely loves karate here, after losing interest in football and baseball, he seems to really have taken a liking here. The instructors are fun and keep the class focused and disciplined and throw in important life lessons/stranger danger type of things.

My son has been enrolled in this program for about three months now and we think its fantastic. Each day is different which keeps him interested and the skills they’re teaching him are real skills, not just karate chopping air every day. The instructors are great and are wonderful with keeping the kids engaged and also making the lessons fun. As a parent i really like their message of positivity and confidence but also respect for everyone. In these few short months my son has gained awesome skills but also his confidence has grown. We are so happy we found them!
