XMA was conceived by seven-time National and seven-time World Forms & Weapons Champion, Mike “Chat” Chaturantabut, one of the most successful and experienced tournament competitors in the history of the sport. Chat has combined the styles and philosophies of several athletic and artistic disciplines into a training system that includes all of today’s cutting-edge martial arts choreography as seen on the national and international tournament scene as well as featured in Hollywood’s top grossing motion pictures and popular television shows.

Mike Chat 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!

The goal of XMA is to take the skills our students have and take them to the Xtreme level and to challenge the students to become better than they thought possible. With its powerful choreography, put to the music of your choice, XMA is hitting the martial arts scene with a bang!
