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!

We have been so happy with Kovar’s - Rocklin. Sensei Hannah is incredible with the kids, she is engaging and educational while still making it so fun! The variety and flexibility of the schedules makes it so easy to integrate into our busy schedules.

Our son Kayden has been going to Kovars for a little over 10 weeks and just got his yellow belt. I cannot recommend the program at Kovars enough! Kayden is high functioning autistic, and has done swimming and kickboxing in the past, but he has NEVER been as determined or as focused as he is in this class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to any parent looking for a good educational and respectful sport. All of the staff are extremely attentive and work well with the kids. Also, every 5 weeks they focus on a different “life skill” including how to deal with bullies and standing up for yourself and even to your friends. Second also, they do monthly kids Saturday night events that are PERFECT for a family like ours who don’t have any family locally (aka Date night!) 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This place is INCREDIBLE! Our son is excelling so well here and it is largely due to how great all of them are with the kids. He has been so interested since day 1 and his #1 thing he loves is the instructors.

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!
