Sparring Seminar with Master Chewning

January 7, 2011, Master Chewning came to work with the students of ATA West Chester. He taught the first ever XMA Creative class. The 20 students in class learned all about the awesome XMA experience including combos, wushu butterfly kicks, and had a great time learning from an XMA World Champ.
Right after XMA class, Master Chewning taught a special sparring seminar. 35 students received Master Chewning's World Champ knowledge of free sparring. The insight helped them develop combos that will help them win in the ring in the next tournament. Everyone was tired and worked really hard, but came out with more confidence in their 'Champion' skills! Thanks Master Chewning
(Sorry about the blurry picture. Everyone was moving too fast!)

Sparring Seminar

Monday, April 6th was our first ever Sparring Seminar at ATA Martial Arts of West Chester. We were very lucky to have 4th degree black belt special guest from ATA Long Island, Miss Michele Boulden. Miss Michele Boulden, who is also Miss Maria Boulden's sister, did many beginner sparring drills with the students who have the ATA safety gear. The students worked on footwork, blocking and countering. Everyone worked out non-stop for the entire hour and it is safe to say that all in attendance worked up a good sweat! We know we will have some Pennsylvania State Sparring Champions in the next couple of years!
