Generations extreme martial arts is a style that takes traditional Kung Fu, and blends it with gymnastics to create whole new forms and limitless combinations. Putting a whole new flare on the martial arts, students will take what they learn in the GXM program to create a form and put it to music to learn either for themselves or to go out and compete with at tournaments in the open musical divisions.
Friday: 5:00pm - 6:00pm
In the beginner GXM program, students will take the basic fundamentals they have learned in Kung Fu and begin applying them to the basic fundamentals of GXM. They will learn the ten basic hand combos, the basic spins and kicks, as well as other basic techniques to work on rhythm and center of balance both of which are required to excel in the GXM program. Near the end of the six month season, the students will also learn the preset beginner GXM form (includes walk in, speech and form that incorporates everything learned over the six months) as well as placing it to fixed music which will allow them to get their first real taste at what is to come in the intermediate and advanced programs.
Friday: 6:00pm - 7:00pm
In order to be graduated into the intermediate program students will have needed to learn all ten of the basic hand combinations, the basic spins and kick, the beginner GXM form as well as an understanding of the fundamental technique and rhythm required to progress in the program. In the intermediate program students will now begin learning the set ups and pre-requisites for the four basic tricks of GXM:
1. 540 (pre-requisite: the pop 360 and the tornado kick)
2. B-twist/butterfly twist (pre-requisite: b-kick/butterfly kick)
3. Sudo aerial (pre-requisite: cartwheel/b-kick)
4. Back flip (pre-requisite… jump)
In this program students will work on the set ups on all four of the basic tricks to ensure that when the trick is finally attempted, maximum height can be achieved from a successful set up (due to the set up being the most crucial aspect to any trick). The intermediate program will also see students pick out their own music so that they can begin creating their very own GXM form to use at tournaments. This form will be made side-by-side with an instructor so it fits the student specifically and flows as a GXM form should, students will also be aloud to name their form upon completion.
Friday: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
To graduate into the advanced GXM program students must have all the fundamentals needed to be placed into the intermediate class, their own music, the beginning of a form created, as well as two of the four basic tricks landed cleanly. In the advanced program students will complete and perfect their forms as well as finish learning the basic tricks in order to move onto the advanced tricks and tumbling.
