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!

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!

Jeremy and Amanda took a very shy 4 year old to wanting to come everyday. The team would even sometimes do private lesson with our son. The culture they create not only encourages kids of all ages but, they also go above and beyond by life skills they teach. 🙏🏽
