Dear Parents and Students, We are excited to inform you of a new program we are now offering at Karate Universe exclusively for our Leadership Program. XMA (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 XMA 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 Many of our students who have joined the program have already have learned various techniques from machine gun kicks to kips, to butterflys and ariels. I look forward to expanding the student skill level to the next level. I know it will take a lot of commitment and hard work but I believe it will be worth it for the student. The XMA program is recommended for students in the Leadership Program ONLY. The student should be under 25 years old and any belt level is welcomed. The classes meet on the Second and Fourth Tuesday of every month and emails also for any closings due to holidays or weather conditions. I look forward and I am excited to enroll you in XMA. Sincerely, |
