Kovar's Satori Academy of Martial Arts - Carmichael

Kovar's Satori Academy of Martial Arts operates a local branch at 7520 Fair Oaks Boulevard in Carmichael, California. The Carmichael school is directed by head instructor Alma Cardoso, a 5th-degree black belt with cross-training in Shotokan and Capoeira, supported by assistant manager Jared Evers, a 4th-degree black belt with over three decades of martial arts experience. The academy provides tiered martial arts education across age groups, ranging from the Mini Samurai program for early childhood students to structured youth, teen, and adult classes. The curriculum incorporates traditional belt progressions, practical self-defense techniques, Krav Maga tactical training, and the Live Safe bully prevention framework. Class sessions balance striking form, physical conditioning, and respectful classroom discipline. Classes are scheduled across weekday afternoons, evenings, and Saturday mornings to serve area families. Prospective students and parents can book an initial orientation and trial class directly through the academy's website before beginning regular instruction.
