XMA Chuck Form One
Katas are back. And weapons! This week we dusted off our chucks and learned the first of a new series of katas. The first one is XMA chuck form one.
XMA stands for eXtreme Martial Arts. XMA is a new blend of a wide range of martial arts with gymnastics and extreme performance-attitude mixed in.
There are (I hear) three XMA chuck forms, each building on the basic moves of the first. There are virtually no chuck spins in this kata which is very frustrating to those of us who have been practicing and perfecting our chuck handling and spins in our living rooms. The chuck handling must be fast and clean
XMA Chuck Form One - Bow, punch down with the right while stepping out the right. Punch down left (so your hands are slighly crossed in front of your waist). Circle set while stepping back on the 45 on the right with some XMA attitude.
Chucks up over your left shoulder, step out with the left foot into hard bow, and left right chucks to your left side just above your waist. Step forward with the right into hard bow bringing the chucks up to your left shoulder and then right left around to your right side.
del.icio.us
Step forward with the left to hard bow while chucks go back to the left side, then over the shoulder, down to the legs, back up the shoulder and catch them. As you catch them, you bring your left book back into a cat stance, then double punch forward back into a hard bow. Keaa.
From this hardbow do an axe kick with the right leg bringing it down right next to the left. Spin 360 to the left finishing in a left leg forward hard bow with a left chop and right punch.
Right left front kick placing it down again next to the left, 360 left spin again, finishing in the hard bow but a double punch.
Step forward into a horse stance and do a quick six count with the chucks. Up over the shoulder, down to the arms, shoulder, waist, shoulder, chamber. It's quick.
Shift to left hard bow, strike left (the right chuck does one rotation - no spinning) and chamber. Shift to right hard bow, strike fight and chamber. Face forward in a horse stance, one outside rotation and catch each chuck while X stance up with right foot pulled up against the left. And both hands down while stepping to shoulder lengths apart. Soft bow left with right elbow onto left first. XMA asaaa.
As always, this is the best effort, time permitting. If you see mistakes, correct me. Just like you would in class. My newest email is bbat50 @ gmail.com.
