Centerline is owned by Mr. Mike Glencross who came up through the ranks with Mr. Dale Hutcherson, under the guidance and Instruction of Mr. Larry Bieglher. These three men are the core of Centerline Martial Arts & Fitness. They have been together for over 11 years and have over 40 years of combined Martial Arts & Defensive Tactics experience.

Our Instructors have been members of the United States & International Taekwon-Do Federations (USTF & ITF) for over a decad and are certified Black Belts under both the Federations. Centerline is also affiliated with the Scientific Fighting Congress & Close Quarters Combat Group.

Centerline offers students an excellent opportunity to train in a fun, safe and controlled environment with experienced, qualified and professional Instructors. It is important to note that our Instructors are also students, they never tire of learning and continue to train with high ranking officials throughout the Martial Arts and Defensive Tactics community. Centerline has over two dozen Black Belts who have earned their belts through
a minimum of 3 years of consistent training under the stringent guidelines set by the USTF & ITF.



Our training also expands outside the Martial Arts industry. We train with many Certified Defensive Tactics Instructors from around the country. Some of our Instructors have achieved certifications and training in Defensive Tactics systems such as Chula Vista Police Department in California ( PPCT Defensive Tactics System Instructor),  military training, Filipino combatives training, American Combat Kempo, Personal Protection Systems, Close Quarters Combat System, defensive tactics for the Department of Corrections and Law Enforcement, and the list goes on.

 

 

Why ITF Taekwon-Do & the Scientific Fighting Congress?
The foundation of our training is based on Traditional Taekwon-Do, known as a Military Martial Art. There is certainly nothing wrong with sport competitionTaekwon-Do, but our focus is self-defense and fitness.

In less than fifty years Taekwon-Do has grown to be the most practiced Martial Art in the world. This was no small feat considering the tradition of great Martial Arts such as Kung-Fu and Karate, which have been around for hundreds of years. The success of Taekwon-Do is the result of General Choi's years of research and the implementation of modern physics and biology into a very well balanced Martial Art designed for the Military soldier. There is much to be said about Taekwon-Do and the man who created it, for more information on the history of Taekwon-Do click here .

True Taekwon-Do is a very well rounded Martial Art that teaches fighting skills such as striking, blocking, grappling and conflict management. However, Taekwon-Do teaches much more than fighting skills. By training in Taekwon-Do you will participate in the physical exercise needed to build a stronger, healthier body. You will also find that Taekwon-Do training greatly improves your mental awareness, self-confidence and overall feeling of well-being. Your training will improve all aspects of your life, personal health, family, relationships, work and everything in between.

The Scientific Fighting Congress (SFC) is a system developed by W. Hoch Hockeim to bridge the gap between Martial Arts and modern Defensive Tactics systems. Our Instructors have spent over ten years training in both the ITF and the SFC systems and we bring both systems together to provide a very well balanced, fun, safe and challenging curriculum.
