My son started at Villari’s in Windsor a few months ago and it has been GREAT for him. Mr T, the lead instructor is an excellent male role model and my son really looks up to him. At Villari’s, they emphasize self-control, respect and self-discipline while teaching the kids coordination, agility, strength and focus. My wife and I are very happy we signed my son up. He just earned his new yellow belt and looks forward to every class! I HIGHLY recommend this place.

My son Angelo has benefited soo much from his karate classes. He has built so much confidence in himself since he has started. He is getting stronger and more athletic in only a few months. He has improved at school and his teachers say he follows directions, participates and stays engaged in class. The instructors there are awesome!! They teach technique while the students have so much fun! This has been the best thing for my son.

Villaris has been a game changer for my daughter. It has not only helped her with gross motor skills but has really boosted her confidence! All of the instructors there are kind, patient and helpful. They make every class the perfect balance of fun and discipline. We have been here for a year and are not going anywhere!

We love Villari's here in Windsor! My older son has been attending classes here for several years, and this fall my younger son decided to give it a try. The instructors have been great as he over came some initial nervousness and he is now thrilled when it's his day for class. He's loving it!

My son is having a great experience at Villari's (Windsor). The masters are fantabulous, supportive and encouraging. They not only teach physical activity, but they also teach the core values that will help the kids face the real-world situations. They make it a way of life and not just an activity. Villari's strive to build a better community and better future.
