Villari's Self Defense Centers

[TJBB1Hinx]

well i havent personally trained at a Villari school, i trained out of Tokyo Joe Studios which is a branch off (Grandmaster Bobby LaMattina) of their Schools, and find that the teaching is great for all ages, I myself started when i was about 10, and am 24 now and plan on going back between trips to College.

Hey tjbb1hinx welcome to the form.

Did grand master LeMatina train with villari?

And why did he breakaway?

[TJBB1Hinx]

yes, he trained with Villari, broke off in 1991 to start his own schools, unsure what issues he had, I havent personally asked him.

thanks for the Welcome

[tigerclaw2]

your welcome. Who does he train with now?

[TJBB1Hinx]

i would gladly ask... but im in the wrong part of the country, he's up north, im in Florida for the next four months

....unsure what issues he had...

Franchisement.....train-by-video classes with mail-order belts....watering down the system. The reason everyone left Villari seems to be the same reason everyone eventually branches off from their system once it makes it big.

[tigerclaw2]
