My son has been going here for almost five years, this place is like family to us. Those who are new, will feel a since of confidence and accomplishment from day one. That feeling does not stop. Every step of that journey is met with the same level of care that was received from the start. Highly recommend this place.

Kovars has been wonderful for our kids mental and physical development. The instructors care about our kids and their development. After watching classes for years I also joined in on the fun and am experiencing the physical benefits myself.

This dojo is great with kids and adults alike. My family has been training here for over a year and I am still amazed at how we learn something new every class. Shihan Sipes is the perfect balance of serious and playful while Ms.Burling is so patient and sweet; they definitely make an awesome team! If you are thinking about getting into martial arts check them out you won’t regret it!

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!

Going to Kovar’s has become my daughter’s favorite part of the week. She’s learning self defense as well as how to live with integrity. The Kovar’s team is all so positive and encouraging. We are so happy to have found them.
