Kovars has been a life changing experience for my son. He has only been to a few classes and already he loves it and feels like he is accomplishing so much for himself. The teachers are all amazing and make you feel right at home from the minute you walk thru the door. The first night they give them their official white belt and let me tell you he was so proud of himself . We made the right choice choosing Kovars and we cant wait to see his future accomplishments.

The best of the best martial arts school! They truly care about your child and teaching them to defend themselves! Joel does a fantastic job of being in charge. He’s a great role model! We unexpectedly had to leave the area, but can’t wait to get back and be a part of Kovars again!

We’ve been with Kovar’s Laguna for 5 years. What I love the very most at Kovar’s is the instructors. Every single one of them lives the principles of black belt, which they teach their students consistently. They are modest and courteous, they have integrity, they persevere in various circumstances, and they show courage and indomitable spirit. At the end of every class they ask “How do we lead?” The answer is “By example, Sir!” That’s Kovar’s. They love what they teach, and they live what they teach. They show love and respect to each and every student and parent. They are professional and caring and they go the extra mile. We were with them before and during Covid, and we moved out of state, and they still accommodated our unique needs. I look up to these employees and respect and admire them. I watch what they do and hope to be a better parent because of what I learn from them. I love how they talk to the students about how important it is to have these great character traits and to just be a good person.

From the first time we walked in for orientation, this crew has been amazing! We have been going for two weeks, and my daughter is all in. An experience for all ages, but I have to say, the connection with kids and the presentation of values through kindness and hosptality is second to none. A great opportunity for my daughter to make new friends in a teaching environment of respect for self, and others. Classes have become a highlight in our week!
