This has been such a good experience all around for my grandson, they not only focus on martial arts but also teach the students life lessons and really care about them as individuals.

We have two, possibly a 3rd, son attending Kovars. We love the staff’s friendliness, really creates a warm vibe and welcoming atmosphere. Shout out to Sensei Alex for being kind, yet firm to ensure the kids are becoming the best versions of themselves. There are many martial arts academy, but Kovars (specifically Fair Oaks location) is a gem!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. My kid loves it. The instructors are all amazing. They are patient, kind, and know how to teach every type of child. You will not regret enrolling your kid at this academy.

Our experience at Kovar’s has been outstanding! Instructors are engaged, fun, and supportive while still holding high (age appropriate) expectations of the students. A wonderful place to develop life skills on and off the mat at any age. We all look forward to many years to come spent at the dojo! Thank you!

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!

I've had the pleasure of attending all the women's self-defense seminars. I expected to feel a bit intimidated, even have a few moments of embarrassment. Thanks to the amazing team, those moments and feelings never saw the light of day. This location is the best place for adults and children to not only learn self-defense but confidence.

Kovards has made a positive impact on my family. It's more than just martial arts; it's about nurturing confidence, discipline, and resilience. They prioritize each individual's growth and development. Discovering Kovards has been a real blessing for us

Kovars is absolutely amazing!!! It offers a great learning experience from instructors who really care for the students not only in regards to martial arts and self defense but also helping build strong core values for the future. Thorough teaching from knowledgeable instructors that genuinely want to see each student improve with a welcoming environment for all ages. Can't recommend them enough!

This place is AMAZING. Since I was a kid so many friends of mine raved about this place and I was reluctant to go but I’m glad this place is great and welcoming for both young ones and adults!

Moved to Roseville during 2020 and was worried we’d not find a good martial arts school. Learned about KOVAR’S by searching online and they were doing zoom classes since everything was closed down. Kim was amazing at getting our 3 kids onboarded and when things opened back up they’ve all been going 3-5+ times a week in person ever since. They even convince me to take an evening jiu jitsu class that I’ve enjoyed for a couple years now. Great family oriented martial arts school!

As a father I want the best for my daughter. Mixed martial arts was Moon’s idea (my daughter). Moon and I went to a few different dojos feeling everything out. Some places had good “this” and bad “that”, or visa versa. The moment Moon and I walked into Kovar’s - we were BOTH comfortable and relaxed. The environment radiates positive energy, team work, accountability and spirit. Every instructor goes above and beyond with each student and the lessons are much more than kicks and punches, Moon is constantly learning morals and values in every class and she takes the lessons back to school with her and uses what she’s learned. Moon is now an advanced red belt, she justed turned 10 and is on her way to earning her black belt. As a father I couldn’t be happier with Kovar’s.

My 8 year loves this place! She looks forward to martial arts every time. It’s good vibes all around. It’s affordable, especially with how much you get to go!

My son started here at Kovar’s a few months ago. He absolutely loves coming to class. Every instructor is professional and extremely good with the toddlers/preschool age kids in his class (who are significantly harder to coach well and maintain patience with compared to school aged children)

I taught competitive sports for well over 14 years at a high level. Worked with Olympian’s and the coaches who coached them. Take my word for it - the instructors here are excellent.

Caswell has been teaching since I was a child (in fact, he was my instructor)

The very few times I have had to defend myself in the real world, I won the fights in devastating fashion and my aggressors honestly had no idea what happened to them.

From correct striking to discipline and routine, kovars is worth every penny.

My daughter loves her classes. All the instructors are motivating and very friendly. They also teach the kids other life skills, like the importance of eating healthy, doing well in school, and doing their chores.

We love the instructors and program at Kovars at Madison! Our son has learned skills and grown his confidence in his training here. The Kovars staff has evolved so well during the covid pandemic as well. Great team and program.

What a gem! The instructors are fabulous- always taking a positive reinforcement position when teaching. Great curriculum, engaging lessons, thorough communication. We are so honored to be part of this studio!

I like training jiu jitsu at this location. James Anderson and Charles Jelks are really amazing/knowledgeable instructors. Both James and Charles and super cool. They love to help you learn jiu jitsu genuinely which is a rare feat to find in instructors. This is my favorite place to train to jiu jitsu. Will be coming to this location more often for jiu jitsu and there is honestly no other place I recommend more than here for training.

The staff and instructors here are super awesome! It’s never a dull day with Shihan and Renshi Caswell and the rest of the staff! You make the martial arts experience joyful, personable, and always exciting. Thank you for what you do!
