Our kid is thriving here! We can’t praise Shihan (sensei) Jeramy Sipes enough. He’s a gifted educator - he makes learning fun and keeps firm control of the class promoting discipline. We love the belt progression pace and accountability to actually earn the promotion with testing of skills but also behavior at home and school. Our kid has become more physically confident, and emotionally disciplined in all aspects of their life since joining Kovars. It’s become another amazing community in Folsom. Big shout out to Ms Berling, our kids always say “she’s the nicest”

My son loves the Kovar’s Martial Arts studio. He recently switched the studio to this location and he enjoys going for the camps as well.
Only complain, the equipments are little pricey. Besides that, it’s a great studio for kids.

This has been such a good experience all around for my grandson, they not only focus on martial arts but also teach the students life lessons and really care about them as individuals.

I LOVE this place! I turned 71 in 2024 - yes, 71 years old - and enrolled in MMA classes. It was that or tap dancing. I was into martial arts 50 years ago and thought I'd continue the adventure. The instructor Jeramy is patient, clear, relaxed, articulate and kind. Amanda is a joy, too, and runs the dojo. I've been going twice a week for three months and just earned my Gold Belt. I've never felt judged, though being in my 70s, overweight and out of shape, could be an opportunity for ridicule. Not here. Everyone is supportive. I've gone early and watched Jeramy teach the kids, too. I am in awe of his skill in adapting his teaching to the students before him. Great school. Great instructors. See you there.

We have two, possibly a 3rd, son attending Kovars. We love the staff’s friendliness, really creates a warm vibe and welcoming atmosphere.
Shout out to Sensei Alex for being kind, yet firm to ensure the kids are becoming the best versions of themselves.
There are many martial arts academy, but Kovars (specifically Fair Oaks location) is a gem!
