I've been training under Fred villari for almost 3 years now, and it has changed my life. I can defend my self well, Im in better shape, and I am much more confident in myself now. Thanks master villari!
I used to think he was a fraud until I met him in real life. His casual competence is impressive. He is really good. You would never guess it from his gold chain and accent. What is his accent anyway, I'm thinking New York?
It seems that the Problem with SKK isn't Fred Villari but the quality control of the style. Villari has shown in many videos that he knows his stuff. Those that teach SKK aren't as good as he is. When you mention SKK most people think McDojo. His style isn't bad. It's just that none of the teachers are as good as he is teaching it. Also it doesn't help that he runs the biggest (or second biggest) McDojo chain in America.
I wish I could find more videos of Fred Vallari. I am currently Studying "American Shao-Lin Kempo" Under Master Robert. Pearlswig (8th Degree Blackbelt)
That was cool to watch again, I was actually at that seminar. Do not get to worked up over the negative talk about GM Villari. Those of us that have worked with him know the truth. Why they feel the need to bad mouth another master, who knows? Thank you for posting this!!!!
I have alot of respect for the villari corporation. When I signed on in 1984 it was a total different animal from what it is now. I have watched it over the years soften up and turn into a belt dispensing drive thru. All the different programs they offer. the special programs that cost a pretty penny. Yes, and years of training will toughen you up, but it doesn't mean if you hold a 7th degree your invincible. Take it from someone who is very good in the arts.
Villari knows his shit but little do some know he is the founder of wall-mart karate, Black belts should not be put in a factory line and have serial numbers. wich is the reason a true martail artist should not belive or represent his degrees because that is your black belt not anyone elses
wow i cant honestly belive how straight up stupid u are...its to help us establish rank and respect our higher ups, thats as dumb as saying that we shouldnt have belts....wow idt ive ever heard/read such an unintelligent comment in my entire life
I concur!! Fred Villari is the real thing. I'm a 2nd Dan Black Belt and teach Villari's style in Toronto. There is no other well rounded system out there then Villaris. Love him!!
hello, im a green belt with brown stripe, i trained in etobicoke for 6 years, however my sansei had stopped teaching, can u please send me an email for where your dojo
I'm sorry, but this is just not true. There are very few teachers out there who are as infamous as Villari for being low quality scheisters. "Villari" is synonamous with watered down, McDojo style Kenpo Karate belt mills. Anyone who has any REAL MA training can immediately look at Villari and see that he is a "C" grade martial artist.
@Rambamatic ok just to clear things up.... my boy who is a black belt is the one who posted this. arrigant yes. i am in no position to be involved in a discussion of somethign i am not fully aware of.
I am a villaris student and i am a first degree black belt. you learn this combination when you get to first class brown belt(brown with 3 stripes) right before black. you can also do it without a belt but it is more challenging to do the flip.
Okay, I don't know if your comment is meant to be sarcastic or if it is an ephinany for you. So, for the record, and for those who have read your comment: yes, seriously. You can use a regular belt, like the one you wear every day, as a very effective weapon. And yes, you can snap a persons neck with a karate belt rather easily. At least people who study the Villari system can. I can't speak for anyone else.
Dude, the seminar is instructional. The uki helps the demonstration by being somewhat static for the purposes of instruction. The guy standing there is not an idiot. He is aiding the demonstration. Empty you cup.
i had combination 13 4 a while now, and i thought he was gonna take the guys head off, but he didnt pull the rope on the flip like u really would hav done it.
What I have learned throughout the years about self defense, is to use your head. Use what is practical. Yes, villari teaches practical self defense, but dont call yourself kempo karate, jiu jitsui and kung-fu. Call it what it is, self defense with martial influences.
Also, you saw what he did at the end with that "piece of soft cotton". Trust me, you do not want to be on the recieving end of that technique if Mr. Villari were serious about dealing with you.
You wouldn't use a karate belt. You would defend yourself with the leather belt you wear every day. I personally wouldn't want to get hit with the buckle end of a belt. It's one of the few weapons everyone can carry legally and is excellent when defending against a short range weapons such as a knife.

Good to hear from you. Belt techniques like this are found in combination # 13. Usually taught at the advanced level. Good luck with your training!

Well I don't know combination #13 so that would probably be why. After all, I'm only on my fifth belt. I'll have to ask my master about this.
Thank you!
