Atlanta, GA.
Century Martial Arts Senior Vice President David Wahl and Joe Corley,
producer of the BATTLE OF ATLANTA today announced the sponsorship by
XMA
of the
2004 BATTLE OF
ATLANTA
Extreme Divisions September 10 & 11 in Atlanta. Mike Chat, creator of
XMA in concert with Century, unveiled his XMA strategies at the Battle
of Atlanta 2003, Master Corley explained, and out of that introduction
evolved the 2004 NASKA Extreme Divisions for Black belts. This has
been one of our sport's most creative and interesting classifications
in years, and the BATTLE OF ATLANTA expanded the concept to be
implemented in its underbelt divisions as well‹for kids and adults.
These exciting divisions allow the judges to separate the competitors
who include the extreme moves in their forms and weapons katas from
the ones who are doing strictly traditional and/or creative. It has
led to a great increase in the effectiveness of the officiating and
has provided the competitors with exciting new ways to express their
martial arts passions!
David Wahl said,
Century
and
XMA
are proud to
associate our brands with the
BATTLE OF ATLANTA
, long revered
as one of the world's most prestigious martial arts events. The
enthusiasm for XMA has surpassed our wildest expectations and I look
forward to awarding personally a number of XMA gifts to many of the
Battle of Atlanta's Extreme Champions. We know the competition will
inspire instructors and students for years to come, and we are proud
to be part of the action!
Competition in the 375 featured divisions begins on Friday, September
10 in the plush Hyatt Regency Atlanta, including seminars, Extreme,
Musical and Team competition‹sparring, forms and demonstration
divisions. On Saturday the sparring, traditional and Open/Creative
divisions will be featured. The World Championship Finals Saturday
