The system itself is a good system. Its greatest strength is its greatest weakness, too much information. Most people can find what works best for them in it. (Out side of specializing in sporting events, its not NHB, or Olympic TKD or Judo tournament stuff)
But it covers so much that it takes a long time to find your nich and work on it.
If you were to find a knowledgeable instructor in the system (unluckily too may are clueless) the theory's, concepts, information and techniques are comp. to any style.
(But we see this in every style, I even met a guy who teaches "Brazillian Style Jiu-Jitsu" Im not sure what that is)
The biggest problem Villari has is Villari. The schools worry to much about getting money from the students. I know of schools that have hundreds of students and because of the enrollment do not charge for testing (enough money comes in from the monthly fees)Villari tries new ways of getting a few more bucks out of the individual schools.
Quality control is another problem, good system but he lets anyone throw his name on the door for a price. You can walk into a school and have a great instructor, or a smoking fat guy who cant teach a dog starving to beg.
Villari could ave been a leading name in modern martial arts, but money is keeping him back.
