What are the top reasons to be a Kung Fu student?
(For those who care - this wasn't written by AI. It's all from the heart and mind of Centerline's head instructor)
Learning how to bounce back from defeat
Kung Fu helps us grow into our athletic potential. This benefit is especially important for children not interested in team sports, as well as team-sport athletes who want help reaching their next level by unlocking extra focus, speed, muscle strength, and power. Participating in Kung Fu means learning how to bounce back from defeat and how to win with kindness.
The foundation of martial arts skill
Centerline Kung Fu began from Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, a unique martial art that harmonizes the strengths of traditional Kung Fu with the fundamentals of modern kickboxing. Students are gradually introduced to contact (light, supervised sparring - which is both safe and fun). They learn to throw real punches and kicks with pad-work and bag-work. Our partner training teaches timing and distance, which are essential for skills like blocking, dodging, throwing and falling safely. This is a complete martial arts education, perfect for the young student!
A supportive place to challenge oneself
We see every student as important and worthy of respect, regardless of their age or ability. We value listening first and listening sincerely. We celebrate children bringing their unique personalities to every class, and our instructors meet them with both kindness & firmness to help them grow stronger. The supportive guidance of our professional staff makes each class effective, fun, and an opportunity for children to grow into their best selves.
Valuable Skills for A Lifetime of Success and Satisfaction
Our program helps kids build focus & emotional regulation, two essential skills they will need as adults. Also, Kung Fu class teaches the importance of practice, instilling self-motivation every step of the way.
Last but not least, our students find courage and determination at a young age - so they are less likely to succumb to obstacles on the path to lifelong success and happiness.
Learning supported by your home devices
One of the main selling points of martial arts classes is an engaging activity away from the screen. But there are times when screens are still helpful - even with Kung Fu. We make it simple to practice for 5-10 minutes at home with step-by-step videos including terminology and home practice assignments. Simply follow along each week, and move another step closer your next sash on the Kung Fu Path!
Not just a martial arts school - we're a community
At Centerline, you'll quickly become a part of our supportive community. Our students naturally offer each other peer support and build leadership skills. All of our advanced students eventually assist with classes. They learn to support, help, and empathize with younger students who are struggling as they once did. One of the most satisfying parts of teaching Kids Kung Fu is seeing young assistants find their voice, their confidence in front of a group, and their style of leadership at such a young age.
Little Dragons are our youngest students, ages 4-6

Dear future Centerline Martial Artist,
Try a few classes.
You may discover it's a wonderful fit for your child. I'm confident that your family will love our classes and our studio, like so many others in our community. Come in and find out for yourself. ​
