Xtreme Martial Arts or XMA is a brand name owned by Chaturantabut. Chaturantabut's XMA is a combination of elements from martial arts, acrobatics and gymnastics,[2] with an emphasis on showmanship.[3][4]The concept of adding gymnastics-like tumbling moves to elements of traditional martial arts is otherwise known as "tricking". XMA makes these exhibition moves the focus of the sport. Open hand and weapons choreography are often accompanied by dramatic dance or programmatic music. The goal is to command the attention of the audience.[5]Currently there are schools of martial arts or similar XMA styles based in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, the World Headquarters being in North Hollywood, California.[5] Many of the moves are high-flying aerial acrobatic maneuvers. These stunning movements attain the goal of capturing the crowd, improving physical agility, balance, strength, coordination, and endurance, as well as performing an artistic display of talent.[6]He feels that there are many basic moves that can be specialized to be more acrobatic, flashy and artistic, so as to give the impression of complexity and difficulty for showmanship purposes. It is for this reason that he feels that even the basic athlete or beginner can learn the progression from basic moves to highly complex acrobatic sequences.[5]
He was featured in the Discovery Channel mini series Extreme Martial Arts alongside Mike Chat.

Olá Tsuki!Se for Matt Mullins, é um karateca de Shori-Ryu que decidiu fazer algo diferente chamado Extreme Martial Arts que não tem mais nada a ver com Karate como o nome já diz. Sem falar que ele é artista e fez vários filmes de Hollywood. Bruce Lee não é criticado por alguns porque acham seus golpes elásticos demais?E não parece apresentação de karate/kata. Está escrito XMA e parece ser highlights.Cuidado ao criticar os americanos porque você está atirando numa coisa e acertando em outra. O XMA não é mais ou menos estranho do que Kombato, Morganti jiu jitsu e Shobu-Ryu.
O Kata do Enoeda e do Shirai nao sao Free Kata. Sao pedacos de Katas bem conhecidos. Bem diferente desse mocinho fantasiado de karateca ai que mais parece um palhaco fazendo movimentos acrobaticos. Mas , como para tudo, tem gente que gosta, entao ta bom...
Isso é moda antiga nos USA:
Por que então não podemos inventar nossos próprios katas? Oss!
olá Katsumoto!Citação de: katsumoto em Setembro 17, 2012, 10:54:52O Kata do Enoeda e do Shirai nao sao Free Kata. Sao pedacos de Katas bem conhecidos. Bem diferente desse mocinho fantasiado de karateca ai que mais parece um palhaco fazendo movimentos acrobaticos. Mas , como para tudo, tem gente que gosta, entao ta bom...Exatamente Katsumoto! O mocinho é karateca reconhecido em alguns meios pelo Shore-Ryu. Isso é uam coisa. O que você viu no vÃdeo é uma apresentação de XMA que está mais para arte cênica baseada em artes-marciais como o Bruce Lee fazia nos filmes e não tem nada ver com Jeet Kune Do.E tem quem goste sim! Esse mocinho fez três filmes (Mortal Kombat) que foram sucesso entre a criançada em todo mundo. Não dá para comparar com os katas, como eu falei antes. OSS!Tsuki,Você falou CitarIsso é moda antiga nos USA:. É verdade. É moda fazer filmes e jogos como Mortal Kombat e exportar para o mundo todo. Se alguém deseja aprender artes-marciais com um jogo ou comparar com Enoeda Sensei não é culpa dos USA.OSS!
Vai ser Baba ovo dos USA lá na casa do Bush!! PQP!!!
