"Found my Life's Passion at Fred Villari's Studios of Self Defense"

Throughout my 20s and 30s, I hopped from one fitness routine to the next - gym, aerobics, yoga - but nothing clicked until I walked into Fred Villari's Studios of Self Defense.

 

Intrigued by karate, I gave it a shot. Two decades later, I'm still going strong! The program transforms you physically, mentally, and emotionally, instilling a newfound confidence.


Master Armen has a gift of inspiring you to push your boundaries without pressuring. It's been a life-altering journey!

"Master Heroian Inspires Peak Performance On and Off the Mat"

I started training at Fred Villari's Studios of Self Defense in 1991 and haven't regretted a single class.


Master Heroian isn't just a fantastic instructor; he's a mentor who motivates us to excel not only in martial arts but also in daily life.


His approach to training is dynamic and practical, always mindful of real-life self-defense situations.
I promise, you won't be disappointed!
