Combat Robots Return to the Bay Area for the Fifth Annual ComBots Cup...

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) October 14, 2010

Combat robots from around the world will once again make the annual pilgrimage to California to fight for the glory of the ComBots Cup, a giant trophy coveted by builders the way baseball players covet a World Series ring. The robots are about the size of a red wagon, but zoom at speeds of 40 mph with electric drives, and are equipped with weapons like flame-throwers, 80 pound spinning blades, pneumatic flippers, and other assorted nasty implements. If you cross all the explosions and crashes of NASCAR with the one-on-one ferocity of a martial arts fight, you end up with the technological terrors that is ComBots ("Combat Robots.") Safely shielded by a steel and Lexan bulletproof (and bot-proof) combat arena, the audience gets close to the destruction without getting sprayed with shrapnel or errant robots.

The thirteen competing robots may have odd names like 'Original Sin', 'Sewer Snake', 'Death & Taxes', 'Last Rites', and 'Vlad the Impaler 2', but kids and adults alike love the robots and the mad scientists who build them. Teams even have their own trading cards, with fans lining up around the repair pits to get autographs from their favorite engineers.

The event is organized by ComBots, one of the companies behind the annual International RoboGames. RoboGames is the "olympics of robots," recognized by Guinness as the world's largest robot competition. The ComBots Cup however, focuses on just combat robots.

"We're really looking forward to this year's event," says Simone Davalos, president of ComBots and co-founder of the International RoboGames. "We have a great roster of robots coming from all over the US and as far away as Brazil. We're anticipating a record audience turnout as well. Combat robots as a sport is growing so dramatically - for the kids it's a great way to learn science and engineering, and for the adults it's a lot of fun to watch and participate."

Well-lubricated sprockets and gears will keep the robots fighting for this year's ComBots Cup, 220 pounds of trophy-shaped stainless steel sex appeal which makes the Stanley Cup look like a Dixie cup. Last year's winner, Gary Gin of Team Late Night Racing, will be facing off against twelve other well-known combat robot champions like Ray Billings of Team Hardcore, and Matt and Wendy Maxham of Team Plumb Crazy. Gin and his robot 'Original Sin' will try to retake the Cup, but competition will be tough.

"I think the fights for the Cup will be pretty darned awesome this year, we have a lot fresh metal in the mix," said Gin. "There is still one thing that hasn't happened yet, though - there's never been a repeat Cup winner. It's good, though, because it shows that the Cup is a tough thing to win. Our aim this year is to be the first-ever repeat Cup winner. Of course, two of the other three previous winners are returning, and they're aiming for this too, so it'll be a very interesting tournament."

Ray Billings, who won ComBots Cup II in 2008 with the notorious blade-spinner 'Last Rites,' says, "We all know it's going to be awesome, there's a pretty good field this year - more robots make everything more intense. However, I'm going to be the first guy to win the ComBots Cup twice. Last Rites and my smaller 120-pound bot 'The Mortician' are going to make sure everything's going to be in serious pain - including the arena. We've upgraded the weapons systems on the bots with higher horsepower ratings and a whole bunch more torque. Less burnout, more mashing!"

Matt Maxham of Team Plumb Crazy, winner of ComBots Cup I, chimes in: "We have a better chance of beating Original Sin this year than last year. Although I hope that Ray fights Original Sin first, so if Ray breaks stuff, it'll be Gary's bot - not mine! Nothing against Gary, we love him. Except in the arena. We built a new secret weapon, especially for Original Sin this year, and I'm hoping it will bring the Cup back to us!"

Of course, there will be ten other teams with robots who've never won the Championship, who aren't planning on making things easy for the veteran winners. Adding to the excitement of the ComBots Cup is the newly-minted, multi-year sponsorship and partnership between ComBots and Royal Purple Synthetic Lubricants.

"We've found that the hands-on (robotics) builder cares just as much about their projects as the hands-on automotive enthusiast", say Royal Purple's vice-president Mark McFann. "ComBots events are the perfect venue to share our message about the advantage of upgrading lubricants."

Ray Billings adds "We recently switched to Royal Purple MaxFilm for our chain and sprocket lube on our heavyweight weapons - I need things to run as smoothly as possible there, obviously. I used to just use motor oil and I had to take everything apart and clean it all down after every match! It was messy and painful! Royal Purple is as good if not better than anything I have used before, and it's not slinging stuff everywhere like the oil would."

TACTIX May be the Hot Fitness Trend of 2011

Orange County, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2010

Each year, there is a promise of a new fitness system that will take the world by storm. Fitness innovator, Dr. John Spencer Ellis, is banking on TACTIX to become the next sensation that will be adopted by fitness and martial arts instructors around the world. In turn, they will take it to fitness fanatics in clubs, gyms and parks everywhere. The concept of TACTIX is to combine modern martial arts, fitness boot camp intensity, practical self-defense and the dynamics of a group exercise class into a single program that does it all.

Another key component to TACTIX is metabolic conditioning (known as metcon). In simple terms, it’s a way of working out that incorporates work/rest cycles and high intensity exercise. The result is a stimulated metabolism, a fast-paces workout and better overall conditioning. In the world of exercise science, metcon is all the rage. The years of long drawn out hours on the treadmill in an attempt to lose weight are over. Research shows that metcon cuts the time in half.

“TACTIX is a blast. It’s for men and women of all ages. You learn practical self-defense without the ‘drama’ of scenario training and hitting a guy in a big rubberized suit,” says Ellis. “TACTIX is the perfect combination of kickboxing, mixed martial arts conditioning, fitness boot camp and body weight exercises. The result is a body that looks good and moves fast,” add Ellis.

If you are interested in becoming a certified TACTIX instructor, you can enroll in their comprehensive training course. The official global launch of TACTIX is Tuesday, October 26, 2010. If you are interested in learning more about TACTIX, visit the official web site at http://www.tactixmethod.com.

Adidas Black Belt - Regular_4.3cm width

The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has long become reality, and his corporate philosophy the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant. Adi Dassler's aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War.

The adidas name dates back to 1948, deriving from the first two syllables of Adi Dassler's first and last name. One year later, Adi Dassler registered the Three Stripes as a trademark. After a period spanning almost 70 years, the Dassler Family withdrew from the company in 1989, and the enterprise was transformed into a corporation ("Aktiengesellschaft"). French-born Robert Louis-Dreyfus was Chairman of the Executive Board from April 1993 to March 2001. It was he who initiated adidas' flotation on the stock market in November 1995. adidas--a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport around the globe. Today, the adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.

TACTIX is a New Workout Program Trainers Will Use to Help Fitness...

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (PRWEB) October 30, 2010

Fitness fanatics often look to personal trainers for advice on how to get fit and drop a few extra pounds, especially after the fast approaching holidays. Have you ever stopped to think about how they get inspired and learn new fitness methods? How do they keep us motivated and ready to take on the next physical challenge. Fitness professionals are constantly doing research on the latest fitness trends and receiving needed information on exercise protocol, safety, training equipment. This helps them bring in droves of new clients for a fun and effective workout (and the prospect of financial security for the trainer). The new fitness trend, TACTIX, may supply the needed combination of sweat and green.

You have likely seen or participated in some type of boxing, kick boxing, or martial arts type of fitness program in the past. But, the martial arts fitness scene has evolved, and has a new contender trying to make its way to the top. TACTIX is a new system developed by fitness trend setter, Dr. John Spencer Ellis. TACTIX combines modern martial arts, fitness boot camp intensity, metabolic conditioning (metcon to those in the know) and dynamic flexibility. The fitness and martial arts pros that become certified to teach TACTIX are also given a complete business system which teaches them how to make a highly respectable income, while providing superior service to their clients and members.

“TACTIX has it all; fun, fitness, group dynamics, metabolism boosting workouts and practical self-defense without hitting some guy in a suit that looks like the Michelin Man. Fitness pros and martial arts instructors can teach TACTIX indoors or outdoors, to one person or 40 at a time,” says creator, Ellis. He adds, “TACTIX is not cardio kickboxing or ‘aimless martial dance’ classes. It has function, form and burns serious calories.”

If you are a martial arts instructor, gym owner or personal trainer, you can learn about the entire TACTIX system at http://www.tactixmethod.com. If you are a consumer, you will have to wait just a bit longer. Consumers will find TACTIX workout locations popping up around the globe in 2011.

The Matrix: Path of Neo

The Matrix: Path of Neo will follow the story of the blockbuster motion picture trilogy The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions and for the first time allow gamers to play as Neo and become "the One."

From the moment the game begins, how the situations play out, how they handle them, how they deal with the events, where they go, how people react to them -- it's all up to the gamer. They may win where Neo failed or find another way to solve the problem -- the path is now theirs to follow.

As Neo, the choices the player makes to resolve each scenario and the resulting consequences may have a different result than the original films. Alternative scenarios filled with new characters, content and storylines have all been written and planned by the Wachowski Brothers to expand the Matrix universe and overall gaming experience.

Once again blurring the lines between Hollywood and interactive entertainment, The Matrix: Path of Neo features the likenesses of all of the films' key actors -- including Keanu Reeves (Neo), Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus), Carrie-Ann Moss (Trinity), Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) and Jada Pinkett-Smith (Niobe).

Meet a Scientologist—Paul Ceberano: Forwarding Two Family Traditions:...

Henderson, NV (Vocus) October 11, 2010

Paul Ceberano, an accomplished black belt in Goju Karate, develops confidence, discipline and self-reliance in his students. He speaks of his love for his pupils and his art in a video in the “Meet a Scientologist” section of the Scientology website.

Paul Ceberano, Shihan (Master) of the Ceberano Martial Arts Academy in Melbourne, Australia, is the eldest son of Karate legend Tino Ceberano, founder of the International Goju Karate School.

Beginning his study of the martial art under his father at the age of five, Paul Ceberano has been teaching Karate for more than 30 years. His own eldest son is now also a teacher at the Academy.

Open and extroverted, Ceberano, 46, enjoys meeting and working with people. Teaching Karate is his passion in life.

Karate, however, isn’t the only family tradition. Ceberano is also a third-generation Scientologist who uses Scientology in every aspect of his life. And the technology of study developed by L. Ron Hubbard forms the central philosophy in his teaching of martial arts.

Mr. Hubbard discovered that if a student fails to grasp the definitions of the words in a subject, he will be unable to apply what he has learned, and may abandon the subject entirely.

“I’m teaching a Japanese subject—I’m teaching with Japanese words,” says Ceberano. He takes care to ensure his students understand the meaning of the words. A seemingly simple concept, but the difference between success and failure in any endeavour.

This ancient skill is an art form, used for self-defense, says Ceberano.

“For me, Karate is about avoiding a situation. I don’t want someone to ever get into a situation. If they are fully aware of what’s going on, what’s going on around them, then I'm happy.”

The Ceberano Martial Arts Academy works to foster fitness, confidence, focus, discipline and respect in its students. What Ceberano values most is “loving and being passionate about what you do and taking responsibility for other people and things, not just yourself.” His greatest satisfaction is watching the children leave his academy with smiles on their faces and knowing that they’ve improved their lives in some way.

“I feel privileged,” he says. “I get to do what I love doing and I get to change people’s lives.”

View Paul Ceberano’s “Meet A Scientologist” video at Scientology.org.

The popular “Meet a Scientologist” profiles on the Church of Scientology International Video Channel at Scientology.org now total 150 broadcast-quality documentary videos featuring Scientologists from diverse locations and walks of life. The personal stories are told by Scientologists who are educators, teenagers, skydivers, a golf instructor, a hip-hop dancer, IT manager, stunt pilot, mothers, fathers, dentists, photographers, actors, musicians, fashion designers, engineers, students, business owners and more.

A digital pioneer and leader in the online religious community, in April 2008 the Church of Scientology became the first major religion to launch its own official YouTube Video Channel, which has now been viewed by millions of visitors.

Kicks Unlimited to Expand Madison Wisconsin Operation

Madison, WI (PRWEB) October 28, 2010

For the second time in just six years, Kicks Unlimited martial arts studio will expand its operations at its Fitchburg location. The official Grand Re-Opening will be held at its new location in December 2010 with the exact date to be determined. The event will include free food and beverages, free karate passes for all kids and free self-defense passes for all teens and adults.

Kicks Unlimited has grown to be one of the most respected martial arts studios in the country. Jason Huett opened the first Kicks Unlimited in 2002 and his system quickly grew to three locations—Sun Prairie, Middleton, and Fitchburg. Huett trained in Los Angeles and returned from Hollywood with credits including appearances in ER, The Power Rangers, Legally Blonde, and the most recent blockbuster—Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp.

Kicks Unlimited offers classes in American Tae Kwon Do, West Coast style kick boxing, and streetwise self-defense for adults and kids including parent/kid classes with a focus on fitness and an emphasis on fun, safe, personalized instruction. The new facility will also allow Kicks Unlimited to offer a wider variety of classes as well as more space for its already lively class schedule.

“I am so grateful to that Fitchburg has been so receptive to my school. A business can only be as good as its customers and staff and I feel I have the best of both. Over the last eight years we have seen many changes and experienced many challenges in keeping up with not only the change, but also the growth,” says Huett. “This expansion is mainly due to the rapid enrollment we’ve experienced in Fitchburg as well as a unique opportunity to lease additional space next to the current operation. With the growth and available space this is a much needed move that will help us improve the service we provide to our students and parents.”

After the upgrade is complete Kicks Unlimited Fitchburg will be host nearly 7,500 square feet and will be one of the largest martial arts studios in the Midwest. Kicks Unlimited will be adding new class options including traditional martial arts, self-defense, family martial arts classes, and personalized martial arts training programs. For more information contact Jamie Whitely, Marketing Coordinator for Kicks Unlimited at jwhitely(at)KicksUnlimited(dot)com.

Nutrition Underground Blitzes Australian Supplement Market with...

(PRWEB) November 2, 2010

Nutrition Underground is proud to announce that their Sports Supplements are now available to the whole of Australia! Everybody agrees that sports supplements are important, but they also agree that they are too expensive. Nutrition Underground provides the industry's most popular products, are prices that are generally 35% less than their competitors on similar products.

The new Nutrition Underground website features a quick and easy 3-Step checkout system, along with discount shipping to anywhere in Australia. There in a very obvious pricing trend occurring within the sports nutrition market within America, and Nutrition Underground aims to bring that trend to Australia where hopefully it will catch on with customers looking for Australian discount sports supplements.

NU founding directors Jake Lemon and Shannon Robinson got their inspiration to launch this business after a recent trip to the United States, where sports supplements are readily available at very reasonable prices.

"People are vain, they want to look and feel great, so they won't think twice before forking out their hard earned dollars on sports supplements to help with their training. Australian supplement companies know this, and up until now they have been gouging their customers and charging them a huge premium on products that should really be selling for 30-40% less. We simply won't let this continue. Customers are smarter these days and they know they have a choice," said Robinson when contacted by our PR Rep by telephone yesterday afternoon.

The Nutrition Underground website has fantastic information and tips on Diet and Training, with all sections able to download and print in an easy PDF format. People want to look and feel great for this summer, and they are looking for a nutritional edge to supplement their hard training.

I have developed some great coaching relationships over the last 3 years and want to continue to help advance their training as much as possible.”

The next stop on the Finland tour is a 2 day workshop at Mäkelärinned Sport School, the biggest sport school in Finland, where Rooney will work with both the coaches and athletes. Mäkelärinned trains 600 athletes, ages 16-20, from over 50 different sports disciplines, many of whom have already achieved impressive results in international competition. Rooney has combined his experience designing curriculum for over 250000 athletes and thousands of coaches, the continual psychological and physiological Parisi research, and his work on Coaching Foundations to develop a workshop which transcends specific sports and augments core athleticism.    

Rooney finishes this tour with a presentation to the Finnish Olympic Coaches, part of a summit which kicks off the 2 year training period prior to the London 2012 Olympics. As a former USA Bobsled Team Member, an international MMA coach and trainer of Olympians, Rooney has drawn on his experience to tailor this coaching education to the intensity of international elite competition. ”This trip will have added meaning since I will be presenting for the Olympic Coaches. I am ready to share my message and am excited to see the response.”

Personal Trainer Business System Punches and Kicks its Way to the Top

Orange County, CA (PRWEB) October 13, 2010

For about a decade, fitness boot camp type workouts have been a great way to get in shape. Just like anything else, there comes a time for a change, a shift, and detour from the grind.

If fitness trend setter John Spencer Ellis has his way, TACTIX will lead the new fitness generation.
John Spencer Ellis knows a thing or two about fitness trends. He has been creating them for almost 20 years. His well-known Adventure Boot Camp is enjoyed by millions all over the world. You may have seen it featured on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

His also created such programs as Kung-fu Fitness and IMPACT. Recently, he founded the MMA Conditioning Association. The “MMACA” as it’s known, started the MMA fitness revolution that is keeping pace with the fastest growing sport in the world, mixed martial arts. Ellis’ latest creation is TACTIX. It’s not your mother’s cardio kickboxing workout with lots of jazzy dance moves. It’s hard core, intense and a major fat burner.

“TACTIX is a cool combination of martial arts, fitness boot camp, group exercise, self-defense and yoga specific to martial arts,” says Ellis. “When fitness pros and martial arts instructors learn to teach TACTIX, we also give them a proven business model. We want them to be financially successful; not just great instructors. We want them to have it all,” he adds.

Fitness enthusiasts and workout junkies can look for TACTIX programs coming to their area in 2011. Fitness pros, gym owners and martial arts instructors can begin training on October 26, 2010. Details can be found at http://www.tactixmethod.com.
