Team Mason Allen

Mason Allen has been training since he was a little samurai and has dedicated his life to martial arts. He began his martial arts journey with Kovar's in 2000, just after moving from San Diego, when he entered the second grade at the Granite Bay Academy. At just 16 years old, Mason officially joined the team as an instructor on October 22, 2009.

Over the years, he’s taught and inspired at multiple academies, including Granite Bay, Cameron Park, Carmichael, Roseville, Waterman, and Natomas. From demo teams to leadership roles, Mason has influenced generations of students, always showing up with heart, strength, and humility.

Now, at the young age of 32, Mason is facing a progressive and debilitating neurological condition that has taken him off the mats and left him unable to work. He is currently undergoing testing and still waiting on a formal diagnosis, adding uncertainty and emotional strain to an already challenging time. We want to rally behind Mason, his wife, and their three young children—and stand behind him as his Kovar’s Martial Arts Family—as they navigate this incredibly difficult chapter together.

Mason has given so much of himself to this community. Let’s return that love and support. Every donation will help ease the financial burden on Mason and his family, and remind him how deeply valued and loved he is by his Martial Arts Family.

Our goal is to raise $75,000 to help cover medical expenses, daily living costs, and provide Mason the space and security he needs to focus on healing.

If you’re unable to donate right now, please consider sharing this page. Your support in any form—whether a donation, a kind word, or passing this along—means the world.

We’ll be updating this page soon with a special video and photos, so please check back. Thank you for standing with Mason during this fight.
