Our daughter started training here 5 weeks ago. We were hoping that it would help her mental focus and that's exactly what is happening, in addition to the physical training. Great for kids to learn to pay attention.
Excellent trainers, very clean and organized.

Our family of four has trained at Kovars for 11 years. My children basically grew up at Kovars and I could not have asked for a better influence than the instructors. Beyond martial arts, they learned many valuable life lessons here.

Our children have been attending this place for the last 3 years. They always make us feel welcome. Their program gives the local community children a place to learn a variety of different martial arts. Kovar’s also teaches to be respectful, personal development, and to be positive. This place in particular has the structure that will definitely build your child’s confidence.

Kovar’s Folsom have been truly fantastic. Our two sons love going there and we love seeing them grow and learn. The leader and instructors are all genuinely good people who work hard to make it a fun environment while also instilling discipline and great work ethic into the students. We’ve gone hiking with the school, they routinely hold special events that allow us as parents to drop the kids off in a safe place and enjoy a night out, and they communicate so well with us (and the students). We appreciate them very much.

Our daughter began her journey into martial arts at the end of 2023. over the next two months, myself and my wife have also began this journey. There are truly not enough words to express the change and improvement in our family, but I'm sure going to try in this review.
The staff and instructors are amazing! The time, care, and firece belief everyone shows is beyond compare. To see our daughter's confidence, belief in herself, and joy she finds each time she goes to class is worth every penny. Kovars also provides a bonding expereince for myself and my wife as we learn together.
For myself, this journey holds a special importance to me. I weas very nervous to try martial arts, being born with Cerabal Palsy. Everyone ( from staff, instructors, and fellow students) immediately made me feel welcome and continue to cheer me on and help me in my martial arts experience.
Kovars in Carmichael is truly a culture of family and togetherness. They have and continue to show a kidness and belief in anyone who is willing or wants to take this journey.

This place is amazing! It's been a year since my son joined the Kovar’s family, and he loves his class. The teachers are wonderful, caring, kind and at the same time disciplined. Not only my son is learning martial arts, he has become more disciplined and his self-confidence has increased. And his anxiety level is much lower than before.
Thank you very much Shidoshi Kelso, Shidoshi Evers, and Renshi Cardoso.

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.
