Villari's Martial Arts teaches the art of Shaolin Kempo Karate which was developed by Grandmaster Frederick J. Villari. Grandmaster Villari found that the arts of Shaolin Kung Fu, Kempo, and Karate each had a particular strength in one or more areas, but also had a glaring weakness that could leave an individual vulnerable. He combined these 3 unique arts to develop a very balanced and well rounded Martial Artist that could defend him or herself against a variety of opponents and situations. We understand that effective Self Defense is as much a matter of confidence as it is about physical technique. That is why we use positive reinforcement techniques and goal setting to help our students develop a strong self-image as they realize their physical capabilities. People who exude strength are rarely victims, but should an assault occur, students have the knowledge, the strength, and the confidence to react effectively and protect themselves.
   
Our Facility
Our Studio has many features that make it ideal for our student's Martial arts experience. First, we have a second Dojo space. We use this area so that we can have two classes going on at once to make your schedule easier. We also use this area if we need to give a student additional Martial arts training without having to set aside a separate time to come in. To improve our student's Martial arts ability, we carry several kinds of training equipment. We have WaveMaster Heavy Bags for the development of strong kicks and punching techniques, Kick Shields for developing kicks with a partner or an instructor, Target Pads for developing hand-eye coordination, and Century Blockers which we use for blocking drills. Our facility also features a top of the line fitness center which carries some of the best strengthening and flexibility enhancing equipment available.

 
 
Grandmaster Villari has accomplished much with a minimum of publicity. 10,000 Black Belts and 15 million students after its conception, Villari's Martial Arts Centers are now a far cry from the days when Fred Villari taught two students at seven in the morning in a walk-

up studio in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Grandmaster Villari realized that the ultimate in self-defense lay not in one way or style of fighting. By combining the "Four Ways of Fighting." he devised and developed ways to integrate diverse methods of fighting into one, eliminating weaknesses and vulnerabilities. This is the central theory and method behind Villari's art of Shaolin Kempo Karate.

The backbone of the Villari's style is the Shaolin system since he felt it was the best for promoting overall good health, wisdom and longevity. This system is well balanced, incorporating mind, body and spirit into one.

This method has spread throughout the world as more than 500 schools have been opened that teach his method.

Grandmaster Villari is still actively teaching and demonstrating the martial arts in his schools today.
