ShotokanKid Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Sorry for asking but whats XMA? "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryu5toforever Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 xtreme martial arts, it's basically martial arts mixed with massive doses of gymnastics. And to answer the poster's question, no my sensei does not teach XMA, because he finds it irrational. He who knows others is wise.

Squawman Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I don't have the $4000 to pay for a gymnastics curriculum. And that $4000 is no joke either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryu5toforever Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 That's another truth, doing XMA is expensive, because you need the necessary training and equipment. You can't throw people who have never done it onto a wood floor, they have to have proper pads and mats. He who knows others is wise.

parkerlineage Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Don't even get me started on them. I can do a front flip, and a handspring, and all sorts of other stuff I learned when I was in gymnastics.The only thing it helps for is lightness on your feet and flexibility for kicking.DON'T BOTHER!Peace;ParkerlineageDISCLAIMER: I AM IN NO WAY ATTEMPTING TO INSULT ANY XMA STUDENTS OUT THERE. I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY BENEFITS TO YOUR SYSTEM OF TRAINING THAT I AM UNAWARE OF, AND WOULD LOVE TO HEAR. THIS IS SIMPLY MY UNINFORMED OPINION.
