What does "Satori" mean and why did you choose this name?

"Satori" is Japanese for sudden enlightenment or awakening—that breakthrough moment when someone realizes their potential. It perfectly captures our youth empowerment mission.

How did Satori Foundation begin?

We evolved from Dave Kovar's "Done With Bullying" movement that reached over 1,000 martial arts schools worldwide. The Foundation launched in 2022 to expand our youth development impact.

Are you affiliated with specific martial arts styles?

No. Our programs incorporate universal martial arts principles—discipline, respect, confidence, perseverance—that apply across all martial arts traditions.
