Fred Villari's of Plattsburgh

My son has been going here for two years. He loves it and always looks forward to class. He also attends many of the monthly clinics. The instructors make the class fun, but also productive.

Do not let this place fool you. This place would be what you would classify as a "McDojo" with instruction and exercises that do not benefit the practitioner. Fred Villari's studio was found by Fred Villari, who has a high level of controversy, as he had given himself 16 stripes to his belt, only ever achieve by one person. The system he teaches includes combinations that do not come close to working, katas that are modified and frankly, look horrendous, and the use of pinions that are also torn The instructor, master Boise, is a wonderful instructor, and without a doubt he is eligible to teach a martial arts class. However, taking this for about a year i can most definitely say that, this place is mainly good for young children. If you are a serious practitioner, i would recommend looking into another studio. No disrespect to the instructors, but the system that is taught is surrounded by controversy and fake techniques.

My daughter has been coming here for a year. Her self confidence is up and she's learning to defend herself. The staff is great and caring. We highly recommend.

Great facility. My son has been taking classes here for almost a year. All of the instructors, including Master Boise are excellent. I highly recommend Villari's in Plattsburgh.

Fantastic place Dave and his Staff dont just teach, they care. Everyone is helpful, friendly, honest. Very uplifting, full of energy and smiles.

I wish I could give this place a zero..unfriendly, very unprofessional & not inclusive.
