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 emphasis is on setting short term and long
term goals and creating a positive atmosphere in order to achieve these goals.

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
own area of expertise and their own teaching style.  It is never the same workout
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.
