From the reviews

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.

★★★★★ — Bernardo, Feb 2024

I started training with them just recently, as the martial arts style that I trained in for 10+ years is not located near me. I so am extremely grateful and impressed by the quality of instruction provided, and I love how they not only teach martial arts and self-defense, but they teach and challenge you to be a…

★★★★★ — Deirdre, Feb 2024

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…

★★★★★ — Deirdre, Feb 2024

My son has been enrolled in this program for about three months now and we think its fantastic. Each day is different which keeps him interested and the skills they’re teaching him are real skills, not just karate chopping air every day.

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

Kovar's Satori Academy of Martial Arts - Rocklin 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 - Rocklin

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.
