Centerline Martial Arts

r old styles. Although these ancient arts were used as references, the fundamental theories and principles of Taekwon-Do are totally different from any other martial art in the world. Taekwon-Do is a version of the unarmed combat designed for the purpose of self-defense, although, it is also practiced as a sport and an excellent means of physical & mental fitness. It's physical techniques are based on the principles of modern science, in particular, Newtonian physics which teaches us how to generate maximum power. Military tactics of attack and defense have also been incorporated. On the spiritual level, Taekwon-Do is derived from the traditional, ethical and moral principles of the Orient and, of course, from the Founder, Gen. Translated literally "tae" stands for jumping or flying, to kick or smash with the foot. "Kwon" denotes the first--chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand. Thus taken collectively "Taekwon-Do" indicates the mental training and the techniques of unarmed combat for self-defense as well as health, involving the skilled application of punches, kicks, blocks, throws and dodges with bare hands and feet to the rapid destruction of the moving opponent or opponents.
