What Is XMA?
We are excited to inform you of a new program we are now offering at Eddie Lott’s ATA Black Belt Academy. ATA X (aka XMA or Xtreme Martial Arts) is a combination of techniques, methods of movements and philosophies from all martial arts styles. It is a mixture of virtually all martial arts styles blended together with high-flying acrobatics and gymnastics and the hottest Hong Kong “Chop-Saki” action. It is what the kids are seeing on TV, in the movies and on the internet. The goal of ATA X is to take the skills our students have and take them to the Xtreme level and to challenge the students to become better than they thought possible.
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.”
At our school here in Statesboro, XMA training will be offered to juniors and adults as part of our new ATA Leadership Club Program. Some martial arts school charge over $100 per month for XMA training alone (on top of the student’s monthly tuition), but we will not charge extra tuition for XMA training. We look at it as one more way we can help the students in our Leadership Club become better leaders.
Our ATA Xtreme Team will meet and practice on Saturday’s from 10:45-11:45 am. An official ATA Xtreme Team uniform is required for classes. Besides being enrolled in the ATA Leadership Program, students must meet the following requirements for participation in ATA X:
- minimum age of 6
- good attendance at school
- making required classes at ATA
- above average grades in school
- above average “class performance” at ATA
- excellent conduct at school and at ATA
- two letters of recommendation (one from a teacher and one from their parents)
If this program sounds like it can benefit your child and his/her future, please contact us to reserve a spot in the ATA Xtreme Team class. Due to the "Xtreme" nature of the these classes, class size is limitied. Act Now!
