Villari's Karate Combinations

It has been nearly 2 years since I trained in a dojo. The last time I exited a Villari’s Shaolin Kempo Karate dojo, I was a 2nd degree black belt with all of the material needed to test for my 3rd degree. There are no Villari’s in the Triangle and I have yet to find a dojo I would be willing to attend. Granted, I haven’t spent much effort looking. Life has been busy with getting married, buying a house, switching jobs, etc.

Through all of that time, my training has been sporadic at best and material slips in and out of my mind. With effort, I can recall everything, but I am certain it is not 100% the same as when I learned it and was actively training. One of the issues is that after training for nearly a decade I can adapt different strikes/movements to material and make it work. It all flows naturally, but it’s not the core movements taught with each combination.

With that said, below are all of the combinations that I remember as I am currently practicing them. The steps are not entirely complete, but may serve as a reference to jar your memory.

Indented lines happen at same (or close) time as previous unindented line. All instructions assume opponent attacking with right front/hook punch.
