Most simply put, Sifu Chris Damiano teaches what he practices AND practices what he teaches--the latter contributing ultimately to his uncanny understanding of Wing Chun--it's forms, philosophy, physics, applications and value to the martial community. He is an engaging, dynamic and intensely powerful instructor whom I've watched bring pure Wing Chun into the hearts of beginners and seasoned martial practitioners alike. Sifu Damiano is an asset to the Ip Man legacy and certain to make it proud!!

Wing Chun is not an art that focuses on fancy foot work or high acrobatic feats that impress audiences. It’s effective, efficient, to the point and powerful. Nowhere else have I learned how to defend myself, build my confidence, and rely on what was taught to me in a class room than with Sifu Damiano and his school, Centerline Martial Arts.

His knowledge, dedication, and passion for the art, is the highest of caliber that I have witnessed in all the years that I have been studying other arts of Karate and Kung Fu.

If your desire is to LEARN, BUILD CONFIDENCE, and MASTER the art of Wing Chun, Sifu Damiano will give you the tools needed. All you have to do is apply yourself.

I have studied Martial Arts off and on for over 30 years. In those years I have been taught by everyone from a freshly certified 1st degree instructor up to and 8th degree black belt in a variety of styles. As I got older I decided to find a true undiluted style to study. I found Centerline Martial Arts website and had to check it out. I met with Sifu Chris Damiano to see if he would train me. I felt very comfortable after I met him. We discussed my background in the Arts and then his history and goals for the school. I was amazed that I had the opportunity to study under a Sifu that had direct lineage back to Ip Man the Father of Wing Chun Kung Fu in the modern world who also trained Bruce Lee! What an opportunity. I started and have become totally hooked on the style. Very efficient in it's applications of close range destructive combat. Very logical technique's that seem to flow from the body. My health has also improved. I find the classes to be a most relaxed egoless atmosphere with a fellowship that I have never experienced before. I have all I could want now, A path to proficiency in Wing Chun, great fellow students that all help each other and an a incredibly talented instructor who continues to travel to the far east to advance his studies.

My wife and I were looking for something to do together. I am 50 and she is 45, our kids are grown and gone and we are catching up on all the things we didn't do while raising kids.We both were interested in martial arts but had no experience. We looked at other disciplines but most seemed geared toward aerobic fitness or kids. We happened on Sifu Damiano just before we gave up looking and found exactly what we were looking for. Wing Chun is an art, a discipline, a philosophy, and a real form of self defense.

Sifu Damiano is committed to keeping the purity of the art. We are blessed to have him.   His dedication to and respect for the art of Wing Chun is infectious and inspiring. If you are going to learn to do some thing well you learn from the best. Sifu and Centerline are second to none.I challenge anyone of any age to join us and see if they can keep from becoming as addicted as we are.

Since I started practicing Wing Chun kung fu, I have noticed a considerable change in my life. I have a better vote of confidence, increased physical and spiritual health and just an overall boost of moral. Wing Chun has not only helped me with self-defense in a critical situation, It has put me in the mind set to overcome all obstacles in any situation.
