done to people, like fixing your teeth. Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better."

ATA X-Treme Martial Arts
The X-Treme Martial Arts program is part of the leadership program. It takes martial arts
to the next level by incorporating gymastics, dance, and music into a free-style form. Students also create
X-treme free-style weapons forms in this program. Our X-Treme Martial Arts
program develops creativity and allows students to express themselves by personalizing their martial art.
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!"
