Classes are non judgemental and you get to work out on a bag, person or just relax and do a
martial art form at your speed, and level.  A great way to reduce your stress level.


A learning environment for everyone:

"Karate is a lifelong sport - it is never too late to start." - Mike Collins

Looking for a way to stay in fit?
Try something that has been around for over 2000 years - Martial Arts.

Villari's offers something for every adult, grappling to stand up fighting, forms and techniques the instructors
always show the patience needed to help every student.  

We encourage the participation of women, men, children, parents, and grandparents, because everyone can
benefit from the study of Martial Arts.  All students are treated with respect. The curriculum is based on set
short term and long term goals and creating a positive atmosphere in order to achieve these goals.
Developing a skill set that can be used to protect yourself and keep you fit.

Our instructors are always learning new techniques to keep the class energetic and instructional, with
several
instructors  for the adult classes.  Each instructor has their twice!  Getting fit CAN be fun!  While
following a standard core curriculum based on belt levels, the instructors add their own twist of interesting
information and methods.  All of the teachers have different styles and interpretations which helps each
student understand and enjoy karate in a way that is meaningful for them.  



For Men and Women:

Students learn to work safely within the limitations of their bodies.  This is good for those of us who have
knee or lower back issues.  This is not the karate you see on TV with a drill Sargent barking out commands.  
The classes are fun, students work together to learn how the martial arts can enrich their lives.  The adult
classes are balanced with women and men of all ages.  Working out with another person is more fun than
using a silent impersonal machine.

"A great way to manage your health, increase confidence and relieve stress!" - David

Personal Protection:

Personnel protection is an important skill for everyone.  Students in class practice real techniques on real
people.  Through practice, students learn that what works on one opponent will not work on another, and so
multiple techniques are learned.  Practicing techniques through drills allows students to overcome the flight
response, the fear that hitting isn't "nice".  In those first few seconds of an attack, freezing is the worst thing
for a potential victim.  The martial artist, through training, overcome that fear and may help to save your life.

Shaolin Animals:

The system has movements which are based on observations of the five Shaolin animals: dragon, snake,
crane, leopard and tiger.   These movements are incorporated in each of the ways of fighting.

Sparring, Forms, Combinations, Kempos:

Learning the martial arts routines, called forms, improves both memory and coordination.  For those
students who want to deepen their martial arts knowledge, there are optional classes in sparring.   Sparring
is a little like kick boxing but with minimal contact.  It increases coordination, self control and conditioning.  
Other optional classes are offered in leadership, where the addition of martial arts weapons like
broadswords, staff and nunchaku increases the mastery of martial arts techniques as well as improving
memory and motor skills.  Some of our students compete in regional Villari's tournaments to test their skills
against students from other dojos.  It is an opportunity to demonstrate how they have made the art their own.
