“Villari’s has been nothing but amazing since we’ve joined.

My daughter has displayed so much self growth, confidence, social skills and discipline since she’s started.“

“This place is truly amazing for kids and adults. It really allows you to express your best effort and skill for what you want to do. I grew up here making hundreds of memories through the camps, events, and classes. There isn’t a single bad thing about this place that will disappoint you. And the instructors are amazing with kids, as well with teaching as well as they are respectful and caring for their students. My personal experience was a gift.“

“I have a son in the Jr classes. He has gained so much self disciple and respect not just for himself but for others. He looks forward to every class. Seeing what positive changes have come from my sons self esteem, confidence and want to do right I enrolled my 3yr old son in the little tigers class. He has so much fun! They help teach them patience, how to follow simple direction, balancing, along with much more. UKMA is not just a room filled with the best instructors and people, it is a family working together to help one another grow both mentally and physically with no judgement. I would never bring my boys to another place!“

“For anybody that's interested in martial arts, this is the real deal. There is something very special about this dojo. Every martial arts movie I have seen, books I have read and fights I have watched, every class the spirit of a true martial art comes to life here. Training at this place is intense and at times painful. I was a 105 lb weakling when I walked in the door for the first time. I gained 20 lbs over the course of a few years of rock solid muscle and corresponding functional strength. Aside from physical strength, they have also toughened my spirit and heart. It would take a lot to break me now.I learned how to fight here.I learned how to take punches and keep on going. I learned to take kicks and keep on going. I learned to take blow after blow, get slammed down to the ground over and over and keep getting up. I'm familiar with being pinned to the ground by someone's full bodyweight through their knee on my face. The thing is, it's no big deal. If I were in a real altercation, I wouldn't freak out because all these things are second nature to me now. Over time, I started winning. Against much bigger and stronger guys. I finally gained what all those self-help books and self-defense seminars claim would happen. I never did believe those. That's because you can't achieve inner confidence by watching a bunch of DVDs and reading websites and taking a seminar or two. It takes years of blood, sweat, and tears. I'm no longer worried when I walk past a dark alley in the street. I am no longer fearful of getting picked on in a bar or club. I'm not scared to travel abroad because I know how to deal with assault, armed robbery, and viscous attacks.And for once in my life, I feel like I belong, and to some of the toughest men and women I have ever met. If I were in any kind of trouble, I would want these people by my side. The ex-military students and instructors have remarked that this is the closest thing to a platoon in civilian life. They say it's not a fight club but I can't help think the next day sitting in my cubicle with bruises on my body and aches in my joints and smile to myself as coworkers debate about the right font size to use in a presentation. Especially after a particularly exhausting night of grappling and fighting, there just isn't much that can make me upset.Remember, it's not the person but the style and instruction that makes the difference between winning or losing, life or death. You can spend your life doing nothing or worse, wasting time on a useless, ineffective martial art. Just make sure you choose the right place to invest your money and time. Because if you come face-to-face with the possibility of someone else ending your life, the proven ability to survive will be your only option.“

“We love Kid Karate! My oldest has been going for almost 4 years now and loves it. My youngest started about a year ago and it is his favorite activity. Coach Jeff and Coach Patrick are the best. Everyone is very friendly. It's a wonderful studio that I would recommend to anyone!“
“Two of my children attend this school. My daughter was one of his first students at the Rocky Hill location. We have been attending classes there for roughly 5 years. The owner Darryl is the primary instructor and he is excellent! His daughter whom is a black belt often helps with the classes and she too is excellent at teaching the skills needed. Darryl is perhaps not only a karate instructor but also a positive role model for kids as he always stresses the importance of why it is good to learn karate, when to use it, when not to and of course he has the kids participating in these conversations. Darryl has the patience, knowledge, and experience to teach anyone including young children karate and the importance of discipline etc. He emphasizes the importance of discipline including listening to parents and putting school work first.“
“My 11 yr old is so excited to be part of this school and looks forward to going every week I highly recommend this school awesome Sensei“
