I started training in Martial Arts in 1965, And Im still a student. Although I have a certificate saying Ive achieved a 10th Deg. Black Belt, and have won many tournaments, and opperated 2 schools, I more offten wear a white belt because I will ALLWAYS first be a student, then maybe a teacher. I have not had the pleaseure of meeting GM Vallari, but from my experience I can tell the differance between a faker and real. I am looking forward to becoming a student of GRAND MASTER VALLARI
okay let's all have a listen to :11 through :20....now, if anyone believes that claim to be legit, please feel free to reply to my message and i will gladly set you straight.
This guy looks like such a fucking clown ahahaha.... Even the more legit looking techniques look executed poorly... and the gun defence? Really??... these are the kind of "grandmasters" that give martial arts a bad name to the ignorant...
@BushidoBudo9000 Here's an offfer come out of your moms cellar and backup your comments, I;m sure you give martial arts a good name with your internet skills. I'm sure I'm old enough to be your father but hey I need a little workout, and oh yes I was a student of Mr Villari so I'm willing to backup my talk. Maybe we can video tape it and you can put it up on your channel. Real offer so bring it.
@benoitcaron Add in guns knife and stick CQB and you're not far off. Lol. I know you're joking but the search for and practice of comprehensive self-defense systems is nothing new. My own ATACX GYM encompasses those disciplines you mentioned plus Hapkido Judo capoeira (the street fighting kind rarely seen outside of the favelas,and Americanized in our streets as Urban Capoeira) aikido iaido kali fencing taekwondo savate 52 Blocks wrestling subgrappling and more.
When I was at my stirbrige tournament he signed my green belt but sadly I couldent show it 2 my friends at the studio cause I graduated the next day.... Now I get my black belt this Sunday, but nod I'm home sick and my karate class is right now soooo PRAY 4 me 2 get better.... I worked with him once and I'm only 12 sooooo Black belt test WHOOOOOP WHOOOOOP!!!! And I'm a GIRL....!!!!
If anyone knows, I'm curious . . . how did Fred Villari manage to become familiar with the broad number of martial arts that apparently influenced him? I haven't yet found a decent biography of him.
I have trained in kenpo for 6 years, no one stands in one spot and lets you hit them but it does teach you valuable spots to hit and good base. But all martial artist should crosstrain in some good old western boxing and brazilian jui jitsu to be well rounded.
After watching this video I have to say that Fred Villari is worthy of his title of Grandmaster . . . in a world where advanced degree black belts don't know how to attack without flinging open their arms to expose their vital points, and where they are easily blown over by a breeze. I have a question of ethics however: If advanced degree Black Belts are as helpless as the elderly and young children, is it morally sound to release a video of you handing them their asses?
im 11. I go to villaris school of martial arts. I took my orange belt test a few days ago, Us being yellow belts at the time did know the five animals but not there stances. Except the dragon. So when we were asked what animal we wanted to pick to be in there stance, everbody the the Dragon. I decided to try my luck and pick the snake. Boy was I in for a suprise,
)By the way you wont know what i mean unless you go to villaris school of martial arts)
I live in an area with several Villari schools within driving distance. I decided to find out for myself about Villaris, so I visited 4 of these schools, all owned by different people. I found the instructors to be personable, knowledgeable and dedicated. I observed classes and talked to students and parents. The vast majority were very happy with Villaris. I watched belt tests. The students definitly earned their rank. Schools were clean and professional. Other places not so much.
This art doenst really combine everything though. I mean it combines stuff from a stand up fighting perspective. but it lacks major jiu jistu. I train here so I know from expierence. But for grappling I had to learn it elsewhere. hey teach you very little grappling.
Yeah, and Cerio spoke out against Villari for just pretending to be a 10th degree black belt after he left Cerio's school. He never got it from any formal channel, as far as I am aware. Just a better sewing machine.
Honestly in looking at this vid, it seems like alot is missing. i cant explain it. it looks like a man who has never really been in a fight. there is no realistic motion imho. i see Cerio in it a little, but its like every other move is either missing or changed to make it look original but it just look ineffective. not bashing the man, just what i see.
Before anybody gets upset this is not a criticism against Shaolin Kempo Karate or Villari. My beef is with what the video's voice over guy says.I know he's simply reading what he's told but Shaolin Kempo was not the first to combine the different aspects of fighting into one system. There are much older styles that did that first. Ever here of Kajukenbo?
Must be another Villari mcblack belt. You can do it, you probably have a love affair with the guy and with his belly he probably can't bend over to do it himself.
@MDAC1012 Yes i Understand what you mean. Problem is not the Fighting system or Villari himself, its because SKK became way to popular. There's to much dojo to keep control of the teaching quality. I did a lot of martial arts and i found this one realistic and brutal. I got a good Sensei that do not teach to make money but to get you to higher level. He's really serious in teaching and trying to make sure that you wont get killed in the street. Find a good Sensei, you may found it interesting :)
Sure, I'll fly up to Canada just to "feel" your system. Come on Nick, you can make a better arguement than that. I have "felt" the Villari system plenty over the past 20 years and I am not impressed. My statements are based on experience and having seen the whole picture. If you feel that the system teaches sound, realistic self defense and survival skills then good for you, but I live in the real world. If you are happing with your system, why give a crap what I think?
As a former student of the Fred Villari's system I can honestly say that the system is a good system! But here's the thing if you look timing of mater Villari when he dealing with the multiple attackers he is waiting for them to attack! "
I studiedthe Fred Villari System for 18 years, In FVS I am ranked as a 1ky Brown Belt I have been studying my current instructor Shihan Joesph Nesta for the last 15 years. "Who BTW promoted me to both Shodan, And Nidan" I don't care about preforming for the camera. If you don't train as if your fighting on the street, the first time you do get caught in a real time event they will serve you up on a platter!
Btw I have been a Martial arts practitioner for over 20 years!
um, ok...I was promoted to nidan by FV himself back in 1998. I studied with Master Armen Heroian for a very long time. I am a former studio owner. Please, try not to think I was disrespecting you. I have nothing but respect for FV. video's are just that...they are video's. you shouldn't ever learn from it.
hahaha i never knew this guy was a 10th degree black belt... belive it or not i serve him ice cream in my dads store like every week. he is a nice guy.
Shaolin Kempo Karate is awesome, its not like Tae Kwon Do which is for "self defence" but in reality is a competition sport(I could explain in further detail). It's a combination of different martial arts such as Chin Na, Jiu Jitsu, Kung Fu, Shaolin Temple Boxing, Kempo, and various other styles of Karate. The benefit of combining them is that the weaknesses that one may have the other fixes. Thus making a well rounded martial art that focuses on real life situations and how to handle them.
I can't agree more with you! I've trained in martial arts for more than 20 years, it is THE most completed style I've ever seen and known. Even though I'm teaching my own style now, I always tell my students that the core of our training mostly came from SKK. I give total credit and respect to this awesome style, grandmaster Villari and my instructor Rob.
It's a great and highly effective style, but as a student of tae kwon do (not just olympic style sparring, but the actual traditional art) which is a mixture of the kicks and punches etc, and hapkido, I know that it is also very effective. The TKD aspect is the striking, and the Hapkido aspect is the actual defense maneuvers incorporating the striking. If you don't have a good well rounded instructor though, you normally won't learn this (the proper) way to perform tae kwon do.
Thank you, honestly I wasn't aware of that. My experience with TKD wasn't bad or anything, I was in it for 1 1/2 years. Still, they just never taught me anything about what to do when being attacked. Sure, we sparred some, but each time the only thing we did was kicks. They went over front punch once, that was the only time we did anything with our fists. Our grand master was in the 6th dan, pretty young too. So, I learned the WRONG way, back then I had thought all of TKD was the wrong way.
Yeah, there are alot of schools that just give into money and let people buy their way through the dans. I am very happy with where I am though. My master is an 8th dan from korea. He tought the military when he was sixteen, and starting competing in sparring at the age of 4. Check out Choi Hing Hi though, he is the founder of what TKD truly is. He started it as a previous student of Karate, but thought it lacked some things so he added many elements and styles 9and scientific method. Cool stuff
Bastard, you got lucky. Once I think back, it took 6 months to graduate one belt. Even if you learned all of your material in 3 weeks they still made you wait till testing day. Also, you got one hell of a good master. I'm jealous that I didn't come across someone like him. If I had I probably would have stayed in. Thank you for introducing me to the REAL TKD.
No problem. It's a great art, like many other martial arts. Everything's different, and you have to find the real practitioners that are truly devoted.
@RemBot2000 First off No style has weaknesses it how much effort you put into to what makes you good. Anyone who puts out a testing system through DVD's is a joke and should be made fun of.
@shotojojo1986 No style has weaknesses? That's a load of crap. Every style has weaknesses, that's why they incorporate techniques. There is only one martial art I know of that is an exception, Systema.
"Anyone who puts out a testing system through DVD's is a joke and should be made fun of."
I agree for the most part with that statement. Even so, that doesn't instantly condemn his martial art as being "bad". Also as a side note, effort /=/ actual ability.
@RemBot2000 Why do you say that about systema? Systema in my opion is ok the additude of the people you train with has a big influence i did a systema class and when it came to sharing techniques i felt like they expected to see all those killer kung fu moves lol. But seriously i always train with respect so people don't see my true potential i am not aggressive so i dont hurt people and when i would go for a technique thed stiff up instead of working with me i dont like that additude.
@RemBot2000 i guess 1 could argue because in systema its not like other ma every systema person does his/her systema differntly. When you go for technique and the person doesn't know what is saposed to happen to there body they stiff up and be rock like a mountain. But i know in the streets i wouldn't just stand there in contemplation and agreement id throw so much at them i wouldn't know what to do are maybe they would there a point to stiffing up but come on in order to learn work with me.
@RemBot2000 I think the guys i was working with didn't take me serious enough and again im not about to be aggresive it takes a while b4 id be confratable with that like being a master when i did judo i remeber white belt throws hurt more because they were sloppy black belt were more controlled see my point. If i had the time to work with the system i could create a beautiful art thats what is so great everyone can create there own way.
@lococavasa No I do not see your point. I find it difficult to extract coherency from what you said because of your lack of punctuation.
There is no need to create another art when the best one possible already exists. Yes, there is such a thing as a superior martial art, if you can all it that. Systema has no techniques, stances, or katas. Why? Because it's all about actively adapting to your opponents movements. Don't believe it? Look it up.
@RemBot2000 If it has no techniques then you create the techniques you create the system. Let me adjust the setting for you when i noted that each systema person does his her systema differntly i was cohersing to the fact that you create your systema. When i say create your own art i am not refering to not working with the science of systema i am talking about making your own systema. As i noted in my previous post this should indicate. That systema is an art of adaptability.
@lococavasa It's different for everyone because not everyone is built the same. It's about what works for you. Even so you don't develop your own "techniques" necessarily, you just know where to hit a person and when. In other words, depending on who's using the systema and who's on the receiving end determines how the strikes are placed. Not one technique that applies to all.
@RemBot2000 What i was really asking is why you believe it to be so good/ my experiance training in systema was a bit dissapointing because i felt i was not worked with. Although the guys were nice there was alot i could learn & when it was my turn to try my own technique instead of being relaxed the systema guys would stiff up like a mountain i don't believe in being aggresive because you can hurt people that way yet being soft was not enough when these guys stiffed up.
@RemBot2000 Let me shortened my point a bit by simply saying that the students/instructors were not helping me by stiffing up. I was trying to figure out what to do it doesn't help and i am not aggressive because i dont believe in having a moncho mentality. Noone less i think i get your point about systema it has no techniques that is why you like it.
Kunfu Panda you dont need to see me you are right.I just posted again since you said I dont know nothing.Thats all, do your best in the Budo/Wudao ways that you feel right.We are one as Genki Sudo believe, I do same,good luck!
Pandakung fu I dont know nothing,maybe so but you are most welcome to visit my own school named Enshinkan Jujitsu & Yoga Akademy in Malaysia. I teach here since 1995 beside being licensed Instructor in Hapkune-do School of Chinese martial arts in Malaysia under later G.Master Lawrence Leong.I am looking for your visit not to fight but to present my skills with empty and knife to you as well my students.Dans are relative according the individual and the style.
LOL. I am not travelling to Malaysia so you can present your skills to me. I study under a great GrandMaster out here. No offense, but if Dan's are relative to the style then why are you on a Shaolin Kempo GrandMaster's youtube video when it apparantly is a different style than what you teach? Besides, I train in Escrima in addition to Fu Jow Pai. What need do I have to travel to see you?
Kungfupanda WHAT RANK HAVE JET LI,SAMO HUNG,JACKIE CHAN,BRUCE LEE.DANY INOSANTO?
NONE HAVE 10TH DAN !!!!
Dans are a relative thing so I dont bother about it ANYMORE .I have 45 YEARS AND STILL GO AROUND IN THE MATTS.My actual style is Yoshinkan Aikido in Malaysia.
you don't bother with Dans? They are a relative thing? are you a comedian? ROFLMLWAO. Then why are you asking the question about still holding a 4th dan? You are still caught up in it. You may have 45 years in the martial arts, but yet you still lack maturity. BTW, the people you mentioned don't have dan's because the systems they are in don't have that kind of ranking...except for the fact that Dan Inosanto is studying BJJ under the Machado's for a rank. You know nothing.
This old man moves really good. I practice martial arts and I have to say that I see many young people cant move like him (I am included). Looks easy and is easy to criticize but the true is that is very difficult.
I want to see people that post bad comments on this video moving like this when they get into this gentleman's age because they won't be able to move neither their wheels chairs.
I am shaking my head and chuckling. Until you are on the recieving end of a Fred Villari technique, you cannot, with accuracy, judge his ability. I truely mean no offense glasson, but until you have felt it, you are simply not quaified to comment on it. Peace, my friend.
what sucks is all these so called master that have never been in a real fight.I can assure you that villari has given many of beating.Back in the day everyone knew where he was but few came looking. This includes all these so called masters.
Villari is the real deal. Studied in the '80's. He wanted you to try to hurt him. I wish he would give some of these MMA freaks a beating but that is not the nature of the "art".
I dont think Fred's opponent would last one minute. This video in no way showcases his abilities. I saw him myself and know that he is lightning fast.
I studied Shaolin Kempo in the 1980s after a break I have re-started and passede my shodan test. The art and Fred Villari, himself equals deadly, non of the haters would step to him face to face
Dude if any of the haters stepped to him face to face they would be the first to help define the phrase, "if looks could kill" They would look at him in front position and they'd quiver with fear, hell if I went up to him i'd probably be nervous out of my mind.
The strikes at 1:09 are real and impressive. As a previous student, I can say that one of the major differences in rank has always been--TIMING.

Even though I'm teaching my own style now, I always tell my students that the core of our training mostly came from SKK. I give total credit and respect to this awesome style, grandmaster Villari and my instructor Rob.

It's a great and highly effective style, but as a student of tae kwon do (not just olympic style sparring, but the actual traditional art) which is a mixture of the kicks and punches etc, and hapkido, I know that it is also very effective. The TKD aspect is the striking, and the Hapkido aspect is the actual defense maneuvers incorporating the striking. If you don't have a good well rounded instructor though, you normally won't learn this (the proper) way to perform tae kwon do.

Thank you, honestly I wasn't aware of that. My experience with TKD wasn't bad or anything, I was in it for 1 1/2 years. Still, they just never taught me anything about what to do when being attacked. Sure, we sparred some, but each time the only thing we did was kicks. They went over front punch once, that was the only time we did anything with our fists. Our grand master was in the 6th dan, pretty young too. So, I learned the WRONG way, back then I had thought all of TKD was the wrong way.

Yeah, there are alot of schools that just give into money and let people buy their way through the dans. I am very happy with where I am though. My master is an 8th dan from korea. He tought the military when he was sixteen, and starting competing in sparring at the age of 4. Check out Choi Hing Hi though, he is the founder of what TKD truly is. He started it as a previous student of Karate, but thought it lacked some things so he added many elements and styles 9and scientific method. Cool stuff

Bastard, you got lucky. Once I think back, it took 6 months to graduate one belt. Even if you learned all of your material in 3 weeks they still made you wait till testing day. Also, you got one hell of a good master. I'm jealous that I didn't come across someone like him. If I had I probably would have stayed in. Thank you for introducing me to the REAL TKD.
RemBot2000 2 years ago
No problem. It's a great art, like many other martial arts. Everything's different, and you have to find the real practitioners that are truly devoted.

@RemBot2000 First off No style has weaknesses it how much effort you put into to what makes you good. Anyone who puts out a testing system through DVD's is a joke and should be made fun of.

@shotojojo1986 No style has weaknesses? That's a load of crap. Every style has weaknesses, that's why they incorporate techniques. There is only one martial art I know of that is an exception, Systema.
"Anyone who puts out a testing system through DVD's is a joke and should be made fun of."
I agree for the most part with that statement. Even so, that doesn't instantly condemn his martial art as being "bad". Also as a side note, effort /=/ actual ability.
I.E. Life or death situations.

@RemBot2000 Why do you say that about systema? Systema in my opion is ok the additude of the people you train with has a big influence i did a systema class and when it came to sharing techniques i felt like they expected to see all those killer kung fu moves lol. But seriously i always train with respect so people don't see my true potential i am not aggressive so i dont hurt people and when i would go for a technique thed stiff up instead of working with me i dont like that additude.

@RemBot2000 i guess 1 could argue because in systema its not like other ma every systema person does his/her systema differntly. When you go for technique and the person doesn't know what is saposed to happen to there body they stiff up and be rock like a mountain. But i know in the streets i wouldn't just stand there in contemplation and agreement id throw so much at them i wouldn't know what to do are maybe they would there a point to stiffing up but come on in order to learn work with me.
lococavasa 8 months ago
@RemBot2000 I think the guys i was working with didn't take me serious enough and again im not about to be aggresive it takes a while b4 id be confratable with that like being a master when i did judo i remeber white belt throws hurt more because they were sloppy black belt were more controlled see my point. If i had the time to work with the system i could create a beautiful art thats what is so great everyone can create there own way.
lococavasa 8 months ago
@lococavasa No I do not see your point. I find it difficult to extract coherency from what you said because of your lack of punctuation.
There is no need to create another art when the best one possible already exists. Yes, there is such a thing as a superior martial art, if you can all it that. Systema has no techniques, stances, or katas. Why? Because it's all about actively adapting to your opponents movements. Don't believe it? Look it up.
RemBot2000 8 months ago
@RemBot2000 If it has no techniques then you create the techniques you create the system. Let me adjust the setting for you when i noted that each systema person does his her systema differntly i was cohersing to the fact that you create your systema. When i say create your own art i am not refering to not working with the science of systema i am talking about making your own systema. As i noted in my previous post this should indicate. That systema is an art of adaptability.
lococavasa 8 months ago
@lococavasa It's different for everyone because not everyone is built the same. It's about what works for you. Even so you don't develop your own "techniques" necessarily, you just know where to hit a person and when. In other words, depending on who's using the systema and who's on the receiving end determines how the strikes are placed. Not one technique that applies to all.
RemBot2000 8 months ago
@RemBot2000 Agreed
lococavasa 8 months ago
@RemBot2000 What i was really asking is why you believe it to be so good/ my experiance training in systema was a bit dissapointing because i felt i was not worked with. Although the guys were nice there was alot i could learn & when it was my turn to try my own technique instead of being relaxed the systema guys would stiff up like a mountain i don't believe in being aggresive because you can hurt people that way yet being soft was not enough when these guys stiffed up.
lococavasa 8 months ago
@RemBot2000 Let me shortened my point a bit by simply saying that the students/instructors were not helping me by stiffing up. I was trying to figure out what to do it doesn't help and i am not aggressive because i dont believe in having a moncho mentality. Noone less i think i get your point about systema it has no techniques that is why you like it.

Pandakung fu I dont know nothing,maybe so but you are most welcome to visit my own school named Enshinkan Jujitsu & Yoga Akademy in Malaysia. I teach here since 1995 beside being licensed Instructor in Hapkune-do School of Chinese martial arts in Malaysia under later G.Master Lawrence Leong.I am looking for your visit not to fight but to present my skills with empty and knife to you as well my students.Dans are relative according the individual and the style.
punhada 3 years ago
LOL. I am not travelling to Malaysia so you can present your skills to me. I study under a great GrandMaster out here. No offense, but if Dan's are relative to the style then why are you on a Shaolin Kempo GrandMaster's youtube video when it apparantly is a different style than what you teach? Besides, I train in Escrima in addition to Fu Jow Pai. What need do I have to travel to see you?

Kungfupanda WHAT RANK HAVE JET LI,SAMO HUNG,JACKIE CHAN,BRUCE LEE.DANY INOSANTO?
NONE HAVE 10TH DAN !!!!
Dans are a relative thing so I dont bother about it ANYMORE .I have 45 YEARS AND STILL GO AROUND IN THE MATTS.My actual style is Yoshinkan Aikido in Malaysia.
punhada 3 years ago
you don't bother with Dans? They are a relative thing? are you a comedian? ROFLMLWAO. Then why are you asking the question about still holding a 4th dan? You are still caught up in it. You may have 45 years in the martial arts, but yet you still lack maturity. BTW, the people you mentioned don't have dan's because the systems they are in don't have that kind of ranking...except for the fact that Dan Inosanto is studying BJJ under the Machado's for a rank. You know nothing.

Fred Vallari didn't start his so called "4 ways" untill 1971. Jajukenbo and Ed Parker's American Kenpo were both started long before.

This old man moves really good. I practice martial arts and I have to say that I see many young people cant move like him (I am included). Looks easy and is easy to criticize but the true is that is very difficult.
I want to see people that post bad comments on this video moving like this when they get into this gentleman's age because they won't be able to move neither their wheels chairs.

I am shaking my head and chuckling. Until you are on the recieving end of a Fred Villari technique, you cannot, with accuracy, judge his ability. I truely mean no offense glasson, but until you have felt it, you are simply not quaified to comment on it. Peace, my friend.

Villari is the real deal. Studied in the '80's. He wanted you to try to hurt him. I wish he would give some of these MMA freaks a beating but that is not the nature of the "art".

I dont think Fred's opponent would last one minute. This video in no way showcases his abilities. I saw him myself and know that he is lightning fast.

I studied Shaolin Kempo in the 1980s after a break I have re-started and passede my shodan test. The art and Fred Villari, himself equals deadly, non of the haters would step to him face to face
xylsvoss 3 years ago 3
Dude if any of the haters stepped to him face to face they would be the first to help define the phrase, "if looks could kill" They would look at him in front position and they'd quiver with fear, hell if I went up to him i'd probably be nervous out of my mind.
