Our Programs

XMA

This program is for children and adults who want to learn to fly - literally!

Our XMA students will challenge themselves to reach their highest goals, both as martial artists and as members of the community. We are very serious about our training, and expect the same level of discipline and commitment from our students. XMA students learn to do things they never thought they could do- and we make certain our classes are accessible to students of all ages and abilities.

Xtreme curriculum - We are proud to be a member school of the elite organization, XMA Revolution® (www.xmarevolution.com), teaching the newest and hottest style that is sweeping the world of martial arts. Students learn gymnastic and acrobatic techniques to take their basic repertoire to a new level. This is highly individualized program, and each student is encouraged to develop his or her strongest skills, while continuing to try new things.

Just because we are teaching new skills does not mean we forget about the basics! XMA students follow our belt-ranked progressive program. They are required to develop a strong set of core martial arts techniques, including sparring, forms and weapons training. Physical fitness and the development of leadership skills are also stressed, as self-confident leaders are better prepared for the challenges of the teenage years and beyond.

Special classes are available for preschool children aged 2 1/2 to 5 years old. While they start learning XMA skills, classes are geared for their attention spans, with an emphasis on having fun. We use a special belt-ranked curriculum that focuses on improving basic motor control and listening ability.  Children also develop their social skills, learning confidence, respect, safety and self-discipline as they work out with their classmates and instructors. When they graduate from this program, our youngest students are well prepared to move into the XMA program.

Competition/Demonstration team -  Qualified students may be invited to join members of either team as they represent Xcalibur Martial Arts in local, state and national tournaments and other special events. Team members attend additional training sessions focusing specifically on preparing for competitions.

Competition is not required of any student, but most find that it is a rewarding challenge that helps improve self-confidence. The team develops strong camaraderie, and students help each other to train and excel. They learn to channel their energies, ignore distractions, and focus, useful skills for life beyond the martial arts!

Xtreme Weapons training- Weapons are an integral and important part of our style and curriculum. In most traditional martial arts styles, learning weapons is reserved until after the student has reached the black-belt level of mastery. In XMA, we introduce weapons early, along with empty-hand techniques. Under appropriate supervision (and safety is always our #1 consideration) weapons training improves the learning of all other techniqes. Besides, it's fun!

Extreme weapons are modern modifications of their traditional ancestors, designed to be safe, light-weight and highly manipulable. They are not sharpened, and conform to all tournament regulations. XMA students train with extreme bo staff, kamas, nunchakus, devil sticks and swords.

For those interested in traditional weapons, we also teach sai, escrima, Tai Chi fans and Wushu long weapons.

Private Classes

Private classes are available by arrangement with our instructors for any student who desires an intense, focused personal training session.

American Kickboxing/ Aerobic Kickboxing

This program is for adults and older children. It is a high-energy fitness program that combines non-contact floor work and bag training. Students learn a variety of punches and kicks, and use them in combinations in fast-paced classes designed to make the sweat flow! Although this class does not involve person-to-person contact, the skills taught are real martial arts, and could be used in self-defense situations. We teach genuine kickboxing; you’re just using a bag instead of a partner. Some of our students combine this class with one of our other martial arts programs. No prior experience is required; just come prepared to work hard and have a good time!

Tai Chi Chuan

Mr. Felix Smittick teaches classes in this ancient Chinese art. The study ofTai Chi has many health benefits, including increased flexibility, improved balance and coordination, better concentration skills, and a sense of relaxation. Classes begin with basic movements and forms, and students advance at their own pace. Advanced training and preparation for competition is also available.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

Mixed martial arts, combining elements from stand-up fighting with ground fighting, takedowns, submission and grappling, is one of the hottest new areas in martial training.  We are excited about the role of MMA in martial arts, and we are working now with established instructors to develop a world-class program in this area.
