Not only did we…read morepractice and learn easy and effective moves, we also spent a large portion of the time discussing how to set boundaries and avoid getting into trouble by using our gut, words, and body language. As someone very sensitive to the heaviness and importance of the class, I can definitely attest that Trisha and the Villari family are doing it right!! 6/5 stars.

I spent a lot of time in college kickboxing away the freshman 15 (or 20, as the case may have been). It was fun, and I always looked forward to going back. You'll spend your class doing the perfect combination of shadowboxing and bag work to loud, fun music. Villari's was by far the best martial arts studio experience I've ever had.

My kid has been going here for about two months now. He's only four so he's in their lil' ninjas…read moreprogram. The instructors do a really good job with mixing up the class with activity and philosophy. There's also a word of the month where they go through what it means and how it applies to every day life (Determination, Cooperation, Charity, etc...) While I'm not sure how good their adult program is, I really like the structure of their lil' ninjas program. It offers little milestones each week and testing every couple of months. It builds discipline in the kids. My kid is already answering me with "Yes sir" at home. Pricing is fair especially since there are four classes per week and you can attend all of them if you have time. Also, if you have multiple kids, they only charge for the first two. Everyone else in the family after that is free (including parents). The school is clean and bright. It seems to be a well run school. If you're looking for something for your kid to build teamwork and discipline (ages 4-7), I highly recommend their lil' ninjas program.

Karate, in general, has helped our son with his focus, respect and discipline (as well as his performance in school). Not that he was a bad kid to begin with, but everyone can use a little help, right? We are not sorry we took this path. Infinity has a terrific bunch of teachers - from the owner on down, they are dedicated to helping each individual in class. They have a positive attitude and the kids really like and respect their instructors. I enjoy watching from the viewing area - it's impressive what these folks do and what these kids learn... The graduation ceremonies are nice ways to recognize each person's achievement. There are also demonstrations by the instructors to help remind the kids where they are headed. I have two recommendations from this: 1) If you're thinking about karate for your child (or yourself - they have adult classes too!), try it! The results are great! 2) For #1, see Infinity Martial Arts. They care, and they're great! FYI: New address is: ================= 8233 Forsythia St. Middleton, WI 53562

I wanted her to learn some discipline and to defend herself. We got so much more. She got so much more. They are dedicated to a depth of learning, discussing how the brain learns, how the body grows and gains strength, and how to respect themselves, their family, and their learning. It's just remarkable. Watching her learn, grow, and gain so much makes me proud of her and proud of being part of USA Karate. And did I mention Ms. Pierce? She's my daughter's role model and that makes me and her mom so happy.

The classroom is clean but the coaches are not professional nor polite.

I told my kid before I go that the coaches would be very nice and polite, but this oppisite image really left him a very bad start and scary of Karate, it will take months for him to recover for this bad experience.

His school also has the longest staying power for adult black belts.
