Centerline Martial Arts & Fitness

Curriculum

Along with the obvious Martial Arts & Self-Defense aspect of our program we also put great emphasis on physical and mental fitness. Most people want more out of a Martial Arts or Self Defense program than just to learn self-defense,
they also want to achieve physical and mental goals such as get in shape, reduce stress, build confidence, improve
self-control and self-awareness, etc. There are countless benefits to joining our program and no matter what your
personal goals are we are confident that our program will provide you a safe, fun environment to achieve them.

of our students. Our students train with a "no rules" mindset. Sure we can punch, kick and submit but survival is the ultimate goal. That being said, we dont train to compete, we train to survive.

will truly help you in a real world situation. The Self-Defense portion of our curriculum is based heavily on defensive
tactics systems developed by and for the military, law enforcement, department of corrections, and reality based
systems such the Scientific Fighting Congress. For information concerning our schools history please visit the

As mentioned earlier ITF Taekwon-Do is the foundation of our Martial Arts & Self Defense program. ITF Taekwon-Do
is the original, "True Taekwon-Do" as developed by the late General Choi Hong Hi of the South Korean Army. Please
don't confuse ITF Taekwon-Do with Sport Taekwon-Do. We do practice lite contact sparring, which you could consider
a sport, but the true intent of ITF Taekwon-Do is to develop the physical and mental health needed to overcome challenges, build confidence and .
