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!

Just amazing! This dojo has THE BEST INSTRUCTORS; amazing with kids. They teach real high level martial arts with legit black belts of all ages as coaches working together in a wonderful atmosphere. The focus on teaching the student through solid techniques, discipline through role modeling, accountability, etc on the path to be a better person is delivered in a truly effective way. This dojo smells of respect, discipline, physical and mental health, accountability, and it is truly phenomenal to watch the entire staff execute such a high level of coaching. This martial arts school delivers in all aspects. It is truly a great place to successfully learn about mma for your kids, and more importantly to succeed in life. Thank you Kovar's of Cameron Park!!!!

My time with Kovar was short lived, however it was a GREAT experience. The family culture their team exudes, radiated to even new individuals such as myself. I was able to meet many staff members but I worked closely with Leigh, who was extremely welcome and caring during my time there. Another member who I trained closely with was Ms. Mey, who also demonstrated Kovar’s main principles and cared for me during class. As an adult seeking new hobbies. I highly recommend this dojo for anyone, because Kovar will welcome you with open arms and train you to the best of their ability.

Kovars has been great experience for my son. The instructors are all amazing, friendly and very helpful when answering any questions or concerns. I feel we made the right choice signing our son up at Kovars and can’t wait to see his future accomplishments from all he has and will learn here!

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.

Sensei Silvey is such an excellent instructor! She’s great at teaching the kids how to be respectful while also making it fun. She’s amazing with nunchucks!! I highly recommend her!
