Personal Statement

Martial arts have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s a lifestyle and one that allows me to learn and teach. Learning new skills is fun, but passing on what I’ve learned is exceedingly satisfying.

Personal Statement

A martial artist holds themselves to a higher standard, not only physically but in all aspects of their lives. My physical, mental, and spiritual life would be very different without the skills I've learned through training and being in this amazing organization. Martial arts has genuinely had a tremendous positive impact on me. It is an honor and a privilege to pass on the benefits of training to my students!

I’m so grateful to have this place in our neighborhood. Everyone working here is so kind and welcoming. And the instructors go above and beyond to support the little ones (and adults too). The classes are so cool and I think the lessons go beyond martial arts and definitely will make a positive life time impacts.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel compelled to because Kovar's is an amazing place. My son and I attend the teen/adult class. We had no idea what we were getting into. It sounded like fun, so we gave it a shot. We were hooked after the first class. It is kid and adult friendly. They teach practical, real world self defense and I appreciate that. The classes are well organized and each second counts. The instructors are amazing! I can't say enough about them.

My 4 year old daughter LOVES this place, and so do I! The instructors are so good with the kids, especially Senpai Hunt! He is so great at keeping the kids focused while making class so much fun! I love the valuable life skills that they teach too..."yes sir", introductions, self defense techniques, etc. My kid enjoys to go to class everyday!

When our daughter turned 8 I wanted to find a martial arts school that would teach her self defense, awareness of surroundings, respect to others as well as a curriculum designed for the mental preparedness of confrontation. All in all, This Kovars location is awesome! We have been involved for over a year now and will continue for years to come. Discipline, Patience and awareness is an art they teach, and they do an excellent job with the kids! If you were contemplating this for your child, I highly recommend it!

My daughter (7) and I attend and love it. The instructors are amazing. Mr Mac, Mr Mr Hunt, Mr Beegle and Sasha are all so talented and such good teaches. They are so good with teaching the kids values. For me I love the workout. The instruction is mixed martial arts, which means a bit of everything. We do 5 week testing cycles typically with new instruction each cycle.

Our granddaughters take karate classes at Kovars in Cameron Park, and we sometimes take them and observe their lessons. We have been so impressed with the facility, the staff, and how they relate to the kids! We really appreciate that along with learning karate skills and self-defense, they are learning self- respect and respect for others. The principles of black belt are principles that make each student a better, more honorable person as well as athlete. We would highly recommend you get your kids involved in Kovars karate!
