ATA
Xtreme Martial Arts Program
The American Taekwondo Association
joined forces with Mike Chat, creator of XMA to develop a program within the
ATA.
So What is the ATA Xtreme Martial
Arts?
ATA Xtreme Martial Arts
or ATA XMA, is a mixed sport of acrobatics, gymnastics and martial arts.
Combine it all together and if you wish put it all to music or just compete
without. XMA also sets an X-games kind of pace to weapons drills as well. It is
a combination of techniques, methods of movements and philosophies from martial
arts styles like the ATA. It is a mixture of virtually all martial arts styles
blended together with high-flying acrobatics and gymnastics.
To quote Mike Chat, creator of XMA,
the program is: "The ability to perform highly skilled moves and also the
ability to perform basic moves and make them look spectacular! This is why XMA
is not only for the elite level athletes and competitors, but also for beginners
at the entry level as well. It is the look in one’s eyes and position of one’s
body that tells the story. It’s not only about punching and kicking, or jumping
and flipping, but more, showing strength through the mind as well as the body.
To stand planted with your feet on the ground and command the attention of the
audience without sound or movement, using only the look in your eyes and the
strength of your stance, actually shows more power than any punch, kick or flip.
That’s Xtreme! XMA (Xtreme Martial Arts) is great for the extreme person and the
not so extreme! The great thing about XMA is that it’s designed for anyone...
You don’t need any prior knowledge of martial arts to try it out (or look good
doing it either)! The point of the XMA class is to take the skills that students
already have and turn them to the XTREME!"
Common Sense
Defense & Street Smarts
This program has been presented in area schools as a safety awareness to
young teens and high school students. Covering simple but yet common sense
topics like safety during shopping, safety around the home, answering the door
correctly. Even discussion on the proper procedure when calling 911 for help.
Students are then trained in simple but effective self-defense techniques,
which encompass strikes, kicks, distraction and hold releases. These techniques
are kept simple so that a participant will be able to retain the knowledge long
and be able to effective defend oneself. For more information on any one of
these programs please contact us through the below process.
