Testimonial

"My son has been with Villari’s for almost a year now (he's now 5). We love how it provides a positive way to release and focus his energy… and the focus on Self Control, Self Discipline and Respect! I find myself often using these terms with him as easy ways to remind and improve upon these 3 rules at home."

PREVENT BULLYING WITH SELF DEFENSE

Karate helps your child to develop a keen awareness of strangers, handle a bully, peer pressure, and also know when to speak up in difficult situations. Karate also helps your child to have more confidence around other kids, and best of all, learn how to avoid those difficult situations in the first place.

Testimonial

"My 9 year old daughter has been taking karate at Villari's just over 2 years now and loves it.  Besides getting a physical workout, she is learning how to defend herself. Because of everything I watched her learn along with the exercise, I started taking karate just over a year ago.  I am 40 years old and I am so happy that I made that decision."

Testimonial

Mason was having difficulty listening and focusing in kindergarten last year. In just six months time he's made considerable improvement and I couldn't be prouder! He is learning so much more than a martial art. He's having a terrific start to first grade and I know that Villari's plays a significant part in that."

"When my son Tyler first started at Villari’s he was very quiet and very shy. Sometimes he was the kid you wouldn’t even realize was there. Now he is not afraid to stand up for himself, he will speak up and has even begun to take on leadership roles."

"I began classes at Villari’s as an alternative to a gym membership and because my son takes classes there. As a single parent, quality time with other adults is a rare commodity; this class has introduced me to many new friends, both instructors and adult students, with whom I enjoy laughing and learning."
