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!

Fantastic place. I have trained in BJJ for many years now. Kovars has many locations in the area, and they are legit. I have grappled with Dave Kovar and several of his black belts and was always impressed by how proficient their jiu-jitsu is. And that's just one of many arts they practice. Love this place for their balance between practical self-defense, versatile curriculum and really positive environment. My 4 year old found his home here for sure.

Hi there, I signed my son up a few weeks ago, and I have been ecstatic to see how awesome the instructors are with him. My son has autism and has trouble focusing, needs a lot of reminders, intends to be more silly than other kids in class, however, the instructors are so calm, and direct in their approach, and I’ve noticed a improvement in his ability to focus not just in class, but at home as well. We have been too many martial arts schools over the years, and it is very clear that they go through intense teaching skills development, as they are consistent at keeping the kids attention at all times, and holding them accountable to the behavior, in ways that are compassionate and respectful . Will be keeping my son with them for quite some time.

Sensei Hannah & Ken have created an awesome environment for kiddos to learn martial arts at the Rocklin location. My son (8yr old) is enjoying both the mental and physical benefits of the program and the instructors do a fantastic job of balancing group & 1:1 teaching; while keeping all the students engaged (& parents entertained)! Highly recommend giving this program a trial run.

Kovars has been a life changing experience for my son. He has only been to a few classes and already he loves it and feels like he is accomplishing so much for himself. The teachers are all amazing and make you feel right at home from the minute you walk thru the door. The first night they give them their official white belt and let me tell you he was so proud of himself . We made the right choice choosing Kovars and we cant wait to see his future accomplishments.
