My husband & I began our son with Rich Mack & Mason Hunt when he was in kindergarten. He is now in 6th grade. Learning the art of karate is a beautiful challenge, but these instructors focus on life values that are so much greater than simple physical discipline. Mr. Hunt specifically taught my son the first few years.

★★★★★ — Missnevada08, Feb 2024

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel compelled to because Kovar's is an amazing place. My son and I attend the teen/adult class. We had no idea what we were getting into. It sounded like fun, so we gave it a shot. We were hooked after the first class. It is kid and adult friendly.

★★★★★ — Paul, Mar 2024

I was so grateful that my son was invited by a friend at school to buddy day at Kovars in Cameron Park. I have worked in the education field as a teacher and a director for many years and I know that experience comes with very specific expectations. Kovars has met all of them and beyond!

New to Krav Maga? Start at Kovar's Satori Academy of Martial Arts - Cameron Park

Kovar's Satori Academy of Martial Arts - Cameron Park comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a self-defense class, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or athletic to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build the fundamentals (stance, movement, and core self-defense techniques) over weeks, and controlled pressure-testing eases in gradually so every drill stays safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or Level 1 class time so your first session is alongside others who are also just starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first Krav Maga class at Kovar's Satori Academy of Martial Arts - Cameron Park

Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Krav Maga is a contact activity. Ease in, train at your own pace, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
