Summer of Mythicality

Welcome to The Summer of Mythicality, our 2026 karate summer camp series where martial arts training meets myth, imagination, and adventure. While the Dragon, one of the Five Animals of Shaolin Kempo, serves as our central guide, campers will explore many mythical themes throughout the summer, drawing inspiration from legends, creatures, stories, and ancient traditions from around the world. Each camp is designed to spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and help kids discover their own spark. To register Click Here

Student Of The Month- KASIM HADZIC
- The Student of the Month for July is Kasim Hadzic! Kasim is fairly new to Leadership, having joined at the beginning of this year, but has been with Villari's for three years. He's 14 and a brown stripe, and while we tease him often about his work ethic, he's been more helpful as of late, enjoying teaching class and wanting to become a senior leader. You can find him downstairs, chatting with his friends, sparring somebody, or helping out with teaching. Outside the dojo, Kasim plays soccer and likes to sleep, go to the gym, and fix his hair. We like to give him a hard time for that, but we're excited to see how he'll grow as a leader this year and beyond!
