Cross Training Martial Arts is an international program whose goal is to promote cultural awareness and understanding by exposing students to high caliber instruction on several martial arts from around the globe. The trainings are coupled with high levels of physicality and theoretical paradigms, aiming to magnify the depths and efficiency of each art to their full potential. The various workshops, seminars, classes and/or lectures are open to men, women, and children who are interested in a multifaceted training experience. Moreover, in the words of Guro Inosanto, “the goal here is not the mere accumulation of knowledge”, but rather the provision of research tools to learn about the art of fighting in its totality, and more importantly, to learn about one’s cultural making. Ultimately, the hope for students, and current (and future) XTMA instructors – is that of self-discovery. In an effort to better grasp the present, one must understand the past, which will in turn help him/her make better decisions for the future.
