About Villari's at Edgebrook

Shaolin temple boxing, jujitsu, kung fu, and the secret art of the White Tiger are just a few martial-arts disciplines that Grandmaster Fred Villari has mastered. A 10th degree black belt—the highest rank one can achieve—Grandmaster Villari has founded his own unique style of shaolin kempo karate. His style blends Japanese and Chinese martial arts with Western boxing, resulting in a fighting system that helps students employ practical self-defense tactics. The system is also rooted in peace and harmony, leading students to also develop life skills such as discipline, respect, and confidence. Grandmaster Villari has been teaching for more than 40 years, and his style has spread to more than 500 schools that currently teach the method.
