Centerline Martial Arts & Fitness

Adult Program

Our adult program is a balanced curriculum of Fitness, Martial Arts and Defensive Tactics. While many schools are teaching Mixed Martial Arts, Traditional Martial Arts, Sport oriented Martial Arts, Child Care oriented Martial Arts programs, etc. Centerline has always focused on balancing Traditional Martial Arts with modern Self-Defense and a challenging fitness workout.

Fitness - Our adult program is designed for women and men of all ages, sizes and backgrounds. Our workouts are very physically demanding but at the same time each student does what he or she can do... in other words if you can't do a bunch of push-ups, leg lifts, pull-ups, lunges, touch your toes, etc. you just do what you can and naturally you will push yourself to try to keep up with the group as best as you can. Over time you will experience increased strength, cardio, balance, flexibility , coordination, etc. The fitness aspect of our adult program consists of everything from push-ups and crunches to free weights.

Martial Arts - Obviously the foundation of our program is built around the Martial Arts, specifically ITF Taekwon-Do. ITF Taekwon-Do is the original Taekwon-Do as created by General Choi Hong Hi of the South Korean Army after World War II and the liberation of Korea. ITF is known as a Military Martial Art with practical application of modern techniques built around modern physics and biology.

Defensive Tactics - We have incorporated modern defensive tactics and personal protection systems into our training curriculum. Obviously Martial Arts are designed to teach students the many aspects of self-defense but our instructors believe that our training must be flexible and adaptable in order to provide us the best chance of successfully dealing with a confrontation if the situation ever arose.

Despite being one of the newest (less than 60 years old) and most comprehensive Martial Arts, Taekwon-Do is not a perfect style, no style is. 60 years ago a person dealt with much different types of violent crimes and legal liabilities then we do today.

Bottom line is that the ITF system is a very well rounded Martial Art intended for soldiers and law enforcment and our Instructors supplement this by evaluating and re-evaluating our self-defense techniques, philosophy and teaching methods. We continually incorporate pertinent information, techniques and philosophy from many from different sources including law enforcement programs, personal protection systems and military defensive tactics systems.
