Vince Johnson at ATA West Chester!

Some of our dedicated XMA-ers spend 4 hours training with an awesome instructor, Vince Johnson. We went to Mr. Jouan and Ms. Boulden's ATA school in West Chester, PA. A lot of the people at the seminar were beginners but some were intermediate and advanced too. ATA Elkton was well represented by Cody McDaniel and Ty Moyer accompanying Mr. Hayhurst for the camp. Ty is awesome with his Tricks (which are the high-flying martial arts moves that cna be added into forms or done in combinations) and used the seminar to make his better. Cody is new to tricking and did a private lesson with Mr. Johnson afterwards. Cody went from spinning 360 with his kicks to almossstttt being able to spin 900 and do a kick

For anyone who doesn't know, tricking is what makes martial arts athletes the best. Someone once said, "My friend can skateboard and jump off a ramp and do a 720 spin." I said, "well my 10 year old student can do that too, but he does a hook kick before he hits the ground and hits a target 6 feet in the air." Tricking is special because it seems like the athletes truly defy gravity. Check out our Youtube page: ATAELKTON
