Helping schools in the Greater Sacramento area promote a healthy lifestyle and foster positive character development through martial arts.
Strengthening our community through martial arts
At Kovar's, we don't just teach martial arts - we help foster growth in physical and mental strength for schools and organizations in our community. Our programs are designed to empower students with knowledge, confidence, respect, and strength through virtual or in-person talks.
Bully
Prevention
This program was founded by Hanshi Dave Kovar that uses martial arts training to help children build confidence and combat bullying. The program includes anti-bullying drills, role playing exercises, small group discussions and empathy training to help put an end to this epidemic for all ages.
Life Safe
Program
This program equips kids and teens with the life-saving knowledge, skills, and mindset to identify, avoid, and respond effectively to dangerous situations. Through five core steps, participants will have access to the essential tools for personal safety while cultivating a sense of security, confidence, and empowerment.
The Satori Foundation
The Satori Foundation is a 501 c3 organization providing programs to empower the minds, bodies, and spirits of our community through martial arts. Through anti-bullying materials, scholarships, and partnerships with martial arts schools, the Foundation is striving to make a positive change in the lives of our youth.
