There?s a new live-action thrill ride on the CW Saturday mornings 10:30am, and you?ll get 15 full episodes here on the Performance Martial Arts Academy Website.? Why are we covering this show well for starters, one of the main stars is charismatic Matt Mullins, a 5-time Kickboxing/Karate World Champion.? Matt and partner Mike Chat actually created the martial arts style/phenomenon known globally as XMA, or Xtreme Martial Arts.? In fact many of the stars and supporting are American Taekwondo Association (ATA) and XMA World and State Champions. ? Matt is flanked by Disney favorite Stephen Lunsford and pop singer/actress Marisa Lauren. At first glance, Kamen Rider may seem like another morphing fantasy show for teens, but there?s an ongoing mystery, a creepy shapeshifting villain (William O?Leary), and some of the best choreographed action scenes and special-effects you?ll see on weekly television.
Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight descends from the wildly popular Japanese Kamen Rider films and TV series, a franchise that originated 35 years ago. Back in 1995, WBNX aired Masked Rider, the first American adaptation loosely based on the Kamen saga?but this new adventure is light-years superior.? Hey just think maybe someday the ATA & XMA students from our school could make and apperance!? So Work Hard and Enjoy the Series!

Starting on Monday July 6th we will be posting the 1st of 15 Kamen Riders episodes here on he website, 1 per day for 15 days.? So come back daily and enjoy!

Story Line of? Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight

On the other side of every mirror on Earth lies the parallel dimension of Ventara – a world destroyed by the evil alien, General Xaviax. The Kamen Riders were warriors from Ventara who fought Xaviax with armor and abilities powered by their Advent Decks. Unfortunately, Xaviax stole the Advent Decks and defeated all the riders but one. Kamen Rider Wing Knight is the sole surviving Kamen Rider – the only man who can stop Xaviax from destroying Earth the same way he destroyed Ventara. To defeat Wing Knight, Xaviax brought the Advent Decks to Earth and tricked ordinary citizens into becoming new Kamen Riders – super-powered soldiers who will carry out his evil plans. After his father?s mysterious disappearance, Kit Taylor finds an Advent Deck and becomes Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. He joins forces with Kamen Rider Wing Knight to defeat the ten corrupt Kamen Riders that Xaviax sends against them. By fighting, the two hope not only to save the Earth from Xaviax?s domination, but to find Kit’s missing father and win back Ventara as well.
