12. No posting links, pictures, etc without bringing some analysis or commentary to the table. A huge picture with the caption, "Discuss", or, "What do you think?" is unacceptable. Any monkey can find MA stuff on the web and post it.

XMA: Increasing the proportion of "Martial Artists" who can't fight.
Also a great marketing scheme.

Do they do multi-level marketing?
They and the ATA are the amway of the martial arts realm.

And a violation of rules 15 and almost a violation of rule 16.
15. Be prepared to specify what your experiences with this instructor have been, whether you are, or study under a rival instructor, and if you can, or have, visited their dojo to report on what their actual teaching skills may be.
16. Do not open with a claim that someone is a fraud or fake unless you are willing to back this claim with evidence.
[note to self, have Mr. Mcfu modify rule 16 to also say "Do not open with a claim that a school is a McDojo without providing your reasons for reaching this conclusion."]

I don't see what wrong after a quick flick through. They aren't exactly promoting themselves as a fighting club, are they? They even link to some kid's karate place that has a focus on combating childhood obesity. Nothing wrong with that.
on the front page they do say:"Xtreme Martial Arts is the fusion of martial arts techniques, gymnastics, and acrobatics, taken to the extreme with explosive energy and "Hollywood" theatrics!"-----nothing about being t3h d3adly....btw XMA does not automatically equal mcdojo.

Hey, some people want to look like a gay asian biker from the future while doing your xma routine.

The problem is the implication that what they're doing is relevant to fighting/self defense.
Honest marketing of this would require it to be renamed 'Extreme Cardio Kickboxing Kata".
The fact that it has "Martial Art" in its name is like low tide, lowering all ships in the sea of fighting.
