Indianapolis ATA Black Belt Academy

What Is ATA Extreme?

We are excited to inform you of a new program we are now offering at Indianapolis ATA Black Belt Academy. ATA Xtreme (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 Xtreme is to take the skills our students already 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 Indianapolis, XMA training will be offered to juniors and adults as part of our new ATA Leadership and Master Club Programs.

Our ATA Xtreme Team will meet and practice on Thursday’s from 5:45-6:30 pm. An official ATA Xtreme Team uniform or regular white ATA uniform is required for classes.
