ATA X-treme is a combination of techniques, methods of movements and philosophies from all martial arts styles. It incorporates elements from all martial arts styles, athletic disciplines, and the performing arts. This includes gymnastics, acrobatics, dance, break dancing, hip-hop, and performance arts - acting, theatre, live performance and street performance.
It's all about pushing the limits mentally and physically to the Xtreme and taking things to the next level. XMA is about setting the stage for all people. 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! 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!!"
