A new exciting and high adrenaline style of martial arts is taking the world by storm!
XMA is a dynamic mixture of traditional and freestyle martial arts, gymnastics, traditional weapons (nun chuku, sai, bo, kama), including high kicks, tricks and exciting techniques.
Proactive offers a progressive XMA program and syllabus that is an excellent adjunct to current Australian Freestyle Martial Arts (AFMA) classes for those members wishing to push their limits.
XMA Training involves hard core physical training suitable for those who already have a solid grounding in martial arts. XMA Basics include foundation strength and balance exercises to build confidence and endurance to perform the increasingly more challenging techniques.
XMA has been popularised by box office hit action movies and fuelled through tournament circuits worldwide.
The increased demand for more exciting and extreme manoeuvres, and the increase in extreme tournament divisions (e.g. Creative Forms, Kata, etc.) has snowballed to incorporate professional XMA level presentations and showmanship into tournament demonstrations.
XMA members must be a minimum level of Blue Belt AFMA or equivalent (assessed through recognised prior learning) and aged at least 8 years old.
XMA classes are gathering momentum in size and skills as new members discover the fulfilment in mastering difficult manoeuvres. XMA develops perseverance and dedication. Techniques take weeks, months, and sometimes even years to master. This can be achieved through the repeated cycle of practicing and failing until you reach a point of mastery.
XMA weapons enhance hand-eye speed and co-ordination, skill, confidence, and flexibility. Proactive offers members the ability to train under the guidance of licensed qualified weapon instructors.
Classes focus on non-prescribed weapons to allow members to purchase and practice with their own maintained weapons without having to apply for a weapon licence. Coaches will have the final decision if weapons are safe to use in class.
XMA members are encouraged to have their own:
Note: Specific weapons (or material) require members to be licensed to purchase, possess, and use them at home or in tournaments. Check with your coach before purchasing.
