Grandmaster Fredrick J. Villari has accomplished much with a minimum of publicity. You are not going to see him often in martial arts magazines. However 10,000 Black Belts & 15 million students after its conception, and Villari’s Martial Arts Studios are now a far cry from the days when Fred Villari taught two students at seven in the morning in Waltham, Massachusetts. The name Villari and Shaolin Kempo Karate is synonymous with East Coast Kempo. In 1995, annual Villari national tournament, held at the World Trade Center (Boston), drew 10,000 spectators to watch 5,000 participants. Nowadays, Villari’s martial arts in Toronto studios are the foundation of the Asian martial arts in Canada.
