What is XMA?
XMA (Xtreme Martial Arts) was conceived by seven-time National and seven-time World Forms & Weapons Champion, Mike Chat – one of the most successful and experienced tournament competitors in the history of the sport.
Over the past seven years XMA has grown from an idea into to a network of over 900 schools with millions of fans, followers, and students.
XMA is the transition of martial arts from the traditional towards the contemporary. Having evolved from the ancient form of self-defense, the modern martial arts movement is now more about sports and entertainment, though still remaining true to its five-honored principles of power, grace, discipline, concentration, and respect.
XMA is a mixture of virtually every martial arts style blended together with high-flying acrobatic and gymnastics and the hottest Hong Kong “Chop Saki” action.
Much like the skateboarding industry before the explosion of Vans, Airwalk (and a guy named Tony Hawk) the martial arts industry is undergoing a transformation of its own… and it’s called XMA.
