Traditional Taekwon-Do is the foundation of our Martial Arts and Defensive Tactics curriculum however we believe that diversity in training is the key to success. Our Instructors are also students, we never tire of learning and we continue to train with high ranking officials throughout the Martial Arts and Self Defense community. Centerline has over a dozen Black Belts who have earned their belts through a minimum of 3 years of consistent training under the stringent guidlines set by the U.S.T.F. Our training is not limited to Taekwon-Do. Some of our Instructors have had the privilege to train with great Martial Artists from other styles as well.
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, law enforcement systems through Hock Hocchiems' Close Quarters Combat System , defensive tactics for the Department of Corrections and Law Enforcement, and the list goes on.
Why Taekwon-Do?
The foundation of our training is based on Traditional Taekwon-Do. There is certanly nothing wrong with Sport Taekwon-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.
Under the guidance of the USTF-ITF Centerline Martial Arts & Fitness teaches true Taekwon-Do as created by the late General Choi Hong Hi , the founding father of true Taekwon-do and the founder and President of the once unified International Taekwon-Do Federation.
Centerline Martial Arts & Fitness is located at Downtown Walla Walla Washington at 26 East Main, Suite 202. We invite you to stop by anytime and observe our workouts. Our Instructors are internationally certified and they truly enjoy teaching what they have learned over many years of training and experience.
