Our mission is to help every individual we teach reach their personal goals, realize their full potential, and achieve Black Belt excellence.
At Villari's Martial Arts Centers, our professional martial arts instructors help develop self-confidence, self-esteem, and respect for students of all ages and abilities.
Whether we’re helping your child develop coordination and self-discipline or helping you manage your health and relieve stress, Villari’s opens our arms to students of all skill levels!
We use our Shaolin Kempo Karate system to incorporate mind, body, and spirit as we strengthen students. Villari’s believes that effective self-defense requires not only good physical technique, but confidence as well. That’s why we use positive reinforcement techniques and goal setting to help our students develop a strong self-image.
Our classes are grouped based on age and ability with varied focuses at all levels. Students as young as three years old are taught coordination and discipline by professional martial arts instructors while adult group classes concentrate on physical fitness in a positive and fun atmosphere!
Whatever your age or skill level, Villari’s Martial Arts Centers can help you master good health and confidence!
Our child loves his classes and the instructors. They make karate so much fun for every kid in the class. My kid looks forward to the class every time. It great to see kids learning self control, respect and self discipline that translates outside the class as well. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in their kids learning karate skills.

My son has been a student at Villari's in Glastonbury for a few years now and he loves it there. Through the journey of learning Karate, he has become more confident about himself and what he can accomplish. Master Gray and the instructors set achievable goals while challenging him to do better in a fun environment. This is truly an amazing place for kids.
