We have been attending Kovars for a little over a year and a half. The team is great, always positive. We have always felt welcomed and encouraged. We have seen our son gain confidence in his social interactions.

After extensive research on best martial arts schools in the area, I enrolled my 7 year old son. I can not recommend Kovar’s more highly; the instructors are top notch not only in instructing the technical elements but in motivating and encouraging the kids to be the best versions of themselves. In addition to the excellent instructors, the staff members are highly professional, personable and kind. The facility itself is spacious and clean, plus there’s plenty of room for parents and siblings to sit and watch the class. Joining Kovar’s Carmichael is hands down the best decision we’ve made for our son’s physical fitness and social-emotional growth.

I began this journey to earn my black belt on my sobriety birthday of 12 years & 10 months. (05/28/2019) The staff here are very kind & most of all informative. The process in becoming a member was quick, fast & easy. The facility is very large & The students are very pleasant. I'd recommend anyone interested in studying martial arts to enroll @ Kovar Satori Academy. 🥋
