Villari self defense effectiveness

[patfromlogan]

Where are you at? Maybe we can find a decent school in your area. Villari has a shitty rep - though I guess you may have gathered that!

yea i get what your saying but those guys have been in skk all their martial arts career so of course their gunna be bad. i have done boxing taekwondo and jiu jitsu i have very good strict form on my techniques so im wondering if someone with really good form from a different style could come in and make it work. i just wanna learn kempo and thts the only school near me

Listen to Fug, he has more experience than you think. Why would you want to make something work that is broken? Just because you have "very good strict form on my techniques" doesn't mean it automatically transfers to another discipline.

i live in Mooers NY if you can find a school within 45 minutes of here that teaches kempo i would be extremely grateful

You are in the middle of woods!

How far is it to Albany? Probably too far, same with Canadian schools?

From just a google search, I'd check out these if they aren't too far to commute:

Martial Way Self Defense
83 Adirondak Drive
St Albans, VT 05478
(802) 527-5141

The Martial Way looked interesting, a very mixed bag of black belts including Kempo, BJJ, Arnis, Judo etc - looks like a family friendly school that looks like has some good fighters. And the Duquette has total cred from the writeup . Duquette looks like a bunch of fighters training Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and grappling/MMA.

Martial Way has Kempo classes, so it might be what you are looking for. They also teach other arts like grappling and they enter jiu jitsu competitons so it would be easy to add grappling.

The video where he used his belt as a weapon makes me question his respect towards his juniors.

both look like great schools but are a little out of my range which sucks one of the instructors at martial way learned from villaris though and jim brassard did too so im wondering if i learn the style and make adjustments where needed if itll be ok just because im running out of choices

What is your experience with martial arts? Total?

i have to admit something i spent 1 year at villaris when i was younger i remember it was taught by master boise and we did spontanious drills and a circle thing kinda like kajukempo but i dont remember the techniques which is why i asked my first question a few months of boxing (i know not much but i practice on my own to this day) , 3yrs taekwondo, 6 months jiu jitsu

Hmmmm yeah, I think you know where I'm going. You do not have the experience, unless you are some type of prodigy, to retool any Martial art.

[jimmyeddy]

i dont want to completely retool it i just mean if i run into something tht seems ineffective id fix it or throw it out i have a couple friends who practice martial arts one is a 3 degree bb in shotokan so i have ppl to test full resistance on
