"My son has been attending Villari's in Glastonbury for over five years now, and the transformation has been remarkable. He went from a quiet kid who stayed in the background to someone confident, disciplined, and comfortable stepping forward. Master Gray and his instructors teach far more than karate techniques — they consistently focus on building confidence, respect, and personal accountability. The impact this place has had on my son is real and lasting."— Nalin Perera, Glastonbury Parent
"My child absolutely loves Villari's! He has been going since he was 3 years old and has shown great growth and confidence. The three values — self control, self discipline, and respect — are not only taught in class but the instructors make sure the kids apply them in their everyday activities as well. I am looking forward to him growing more as he grows through the next levels!"— Shally Sinha, Glastonbury Parent
"My children have been going to Villari's since they were three — now they're seven. I love Villari's focus on their three rules: self control, self discipline, and respect. In every class, the instructors connect these rules to what students are learning and why. My kids aren't just learning karate, they are learning life skills. It's great to see them focusing and having fun."— Aaliyah Miller, Glastonbury Parent
