At Cooper's N.E. Martial Arts, we are fully licensed to offer the "Xtreme Martial Arts" which is also known as XMA.  So what exactly is XMA?  XMA is a combination of sports and martial arts that incorporates explosive motions and focuses on the showmanship utilizing flashy acrobatic movements.  Open hand and weapon choreography is utilized with its dramatic "Kata" or forms and is designed to draw attention from the audience and is an excellent way to break away that shyness in a person and build confidence.

 

Students of XMA will develop confidence, agility and coordination, flexibility learn basic stances, strikes, blocks and kicks.  XMA utilizes forms from many styles of martial arts but mainly from Karate.  As each students begin to understand their body motion, they will have the flexibility to exercise their own self expression.
