Villari's Martial Arts Center - Newington

Our son has been going here for years and he loves it! We love the instruction and all of the personal benefits that he receives through learning with the best The staff is very knowledgeable and they make learning fun!

My son was having some difficulties with attentiveness in kindergarten, and frankly, I wanted to have something for both of us to do to stay fit as wellI’ve both read and heard enough about the benefits of martial arts training to encourage better self-monitoring and general behavior with younger kids, so I thought I’d give it a try In the spring of 2015, I signed my then-year old son and myself up for a or week trial at Villari’s Martial Arts in Newington, and it turned out to be a great decisionNot only did my son’s teacher see a noticeable shift in his behavior over the weeks that followed, but my wife and I also noticed the lessons he learned in the studio affected his behavior at home, tooSure, progress was slow and steady, but it was encouraging to see him building that forward momentum and growing to understand how he could be more respectful to others, demonstrate better self-control during stressful or frustrating situations, or be more self-disciplined about chores at home and tasks at schoolWe’ve also noticed he just seems to be a little stronger and doesn’t get tired out as easily – good for his little growing mind and body! Needless to say, it was an easy decision to start our little spitfire of a year old last month, as Master G***, MrG***, and the rest of the instructors do an excellent job of providing a healthy, constructive, and safe environment for our kids to learn, grow, and have funWe also really love that they also have a variety of community building events such as Laser Tag Nights, Parents’ Night Out, and other events for the kids (and adults)And for whatever it’s worth, I have to say I’ve really grown to enjoy going to class each weekIt’s a great opportunity to mental “clean the slate” and focus on something other than the stressors of the work day, and it’s gotten me into much better shape than I was in before I started about months agoIf you’re thinking it over, definitely give Villari’s at Newington a try!

Great martial arts studio staff makes it easy for children to feel comfortable
