ADULT MARTIAL ARTS
Centerline is a very special studio. The atmosphere is so welcoming and inclusive. The instructors take mutual respect very seriously and have built a warm multigenerational space that is rare these days. They borrow from many different styles of martial arts, and there are always ways to advance your own skills. They are impressively organized with clear weekly goals and challenges, and videos and regular updates to the app so you can learn along at home too. A wonderful place to train whether you are a total newbie or an experienced martial artist. And a great place to make friends!​

KIDS MARTIAL ARTS
For young people and their caregivers curious in martial arts, look no further! Centerline Martial Arts has offered an incredible experience to our family. We came here looking to provide our child with some structure, discipline, confidence, and a creative outlet. We have found all that, as well as a kind and committed community. Sifu Collin and Gowlin Laura are excellent teachers. I can't recommend this community more highly.

Hands down, joining Centerline was the best decision I've ever made. It's a warm, welcoming community that remains a platform for constant growth. Every instructor has something knowledgeable and different to bring to the table, and they each do so with a kind yet driving spirit, pushing everyone to be a better version of themselves. Not only have I been rewarded physically, my mental health is the best it's ever been in my life. Whether you have vast experience in fitness/martial arts or none at all, Centerline has a place for you!
