I like jumping kicks.

They are fun to do and chics dig 'em.

I forgot.

Extreme Martial Arts is a silly name.
It's like Extreme Boxing or Extreme Auto Racing.

MA is already extreme!

I posted to another thread about XMA, but I may have changed my mind about what I said after a couple of days of thought and following this one.

The show was advertised as the "science" behind...

Great joke,

but That Is Just NASTY!

Honestly I didn't read all the posts, so if I am repeating anything I apologize in advance.
