ATA-Xtreme
The ultimate in
martial arts creativity! Traditional forms and weapons meet with
gymnastics, dance, choreography, and excitement to create Extreme Martial Arts (XMA).
Twice per month, we will meet to work on creative forms, weapons forms,
choreography, and even gymnastics with an instructor from the Sulphur Springs
Gymnastics school.
Mike Chat, creator of XMA,
describes his program as:
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!
With XMA we train and condition our bodies to
test our physical limits, but at the same time, through this training, we also
develop mental strength and tenacity to aid in overcoming physical
challenges. Life presents us with many obstacles on all different levels, and
XMA is here to help you feel more confident in dealing with these challenges,
mentally, physically and emotionally.
