"We have seen the great benefits of Villari's for both our children and many others over the past 7 years. The Southington instructors are a class act — they go above and beyond to teach traditional karate as well as very important life lessons. The experiences help the students in many areas of life, especially in school. We cannot say enough great things about the families, the lasting friendships, and the instructors at Southington Villari's."— Julie Landry, Southington Parent
"I can't emphasize how much I LOVE this studio! It stands for everything we were looking for in a karate experience. The instructor, Carrie Waskowicz, and her team are expert at everything they do. Above and beyond the physical aspects of karate, this studio teaches your child about Respect, Self-Control and Self-Discipline. A true role model studio in every facet!"— Shannon Eterginio, Southington Parent
