Fredrick J. Villari is the founder of Shaolin Kempo Karate - a unique martial arts style that combines the Five Animals of Shaolin Kung Fu, the core competency of Kempo, the hard-hitting linear explosiveness of traditional Karate, as well as the power of Boxing and the felling and grappling arts of Jujutsu, Chin Na, and Mongolian wrestling. Fred Villari was also the original proprietor of the successful United Studios of Self Defense, and therefore Fred Villari set out to create and strictly codify a balanced system that was robust in the "4 ways of fighting" :Striking, Kicking, Felling, and Grappling. "Villari’s martial arts training started early in his life. After being introduced to Western and Chinese boxing by his father, Villari went on to study jiujitsu with the Blanc brothers in his middle teens. By the time he was 18, Villari realized his martial arts training was stagnating and sought out Nick Cerio as an instructor of Chinese kenpo. After completing his requirements as second degree black belt with Cerio, Villari traveled to the West Indies where he traded his techniques for karate and kung-fu training. While in the islands, Villari also studied under a Chinese-Australian instructor Soo, and gained his third and fourth degrees. After working with another master Len Chou, Villari received his fifth degree and soon decided to open his own school. Influences Nick Cerio was the first martial arts instructor to give Fred Villari a black belt, and many of Cerio's black belt forms exist in Villari's standard curriculum today.
