Finally... A Martial Arts Studio For EVERY Member of the Family
Villari's Family Martial Arts located in Framingham, Massachusetts
REAL and SINCERE Instructor-Coaches for REAL and SINCERE People Just Like You
Many people believe that martial arts is either just for kids or for crazy people who want to go into a cage and fight.
Strengthening the Family By Strengthening Mind, Body, and Spirit. That's Where Villari's Family Martial Arts is different.
Villari's was founded in 1968 by Grandmaster Fred Villari on the core principle that the physical and mental benefits of martial arts should be accessible by everybody, not just the chosen few. At Villari's, you'll notice a wide diversity of members, from 4 year-old boys and girls to the busy CEO, the mother- of-two, all the way to our elite level Black Belts. We even have Master Instructors in their 70′s! The beauty of Shaolin Kempo Karate is that it is totally flexible. Classes are divided by age and the movements are customized to fit you.
The Martial Arts of Yesterday Updated For Today... To Help You and Your Family Have a Healthier, Happier, More Harmonious Life.
Shaolin Kempo Karate is a complete martial arts and fitness system that is refined for how we dress, work and live today. It's practical, effective, and fun and easy to learn.
We understand that martial arts can be intimidating at first. Many martial arts schools "Throw you into the Pool" and leave you to sink or swim. Villari's starts you off in a program with other new members so you learn the fundamentals of Shaolin Kempo Karate with people at the same level as you.
And, don't worry about having to memorize complicated, outmoded moves. All you need is an open mind and willingness to become your best.
Instructor-Coaches Who Understand Where You're Coming From.... Because We Were ALL Beginners Once!
You'll find Villari's classes to be structured, well-paced, and fun. Villari's Instructors-Coaches are certified through a comprehensive program administered by 10th Degree Master Mark Grupposo.
Your Instructors-Coaches are not only well-versed in teaching Shaolin Kempo Karate, they are also extremely competent at maintaining a positive , enthusiastic and motivating class atmosphere. After all, it it's not enjoyable, you're not going to stick around for long. It's our goal for Shaolin Kempo Karate to not just be a casual activity but a deep and important aspect of your daily life.
Classes and Programs for Every Age and Lifestyle
Villari’s is the place for old and young alike who are interested in incorporating the martial arts into their life. From tots to teens to seniors, you’ll find a class or program that suits you best, with your lifestyle, learning, and physical needs.
Our certified instructors teach each class with techniques that are age-appropriate and geared to each individual’s learning style and skill level. Children learn in a fun, game-focused setting to keep their focus and teach them no-contact skills in a safe environment. Older teen and adult classes are taught with varied techniques, more complex as students advance through the ranks.
Related classes such as t’ai chi, open to older teens and adults, bring balance to your life and your skillset. You’ll learn mindfulness, balance, and focus in a way that’s unique and set apart from the usual martial arts classes.
Respect, self-discipline, and self-confidence are core values we integrate into every class. Martial arts is not just a skillset like learning to ride a bicycle or climb a mountain. The martial arts are meant to be part of how you live your life.
