Team Mannatech Athlete Wins World Titles and Sets World Record at U.S. Open World ISKA Martial Arts Tournament
Mannatech, Incorporated (NASDAQ: MTEX), a leading developer and provider
of dietary supplements and skin care solutions, today announced Chip
Townsend recently won three world titles and set a new world record
at the U.S. Open World
International Sport Karate Association (ISKA) Martial Arts Tournament.
He is a member of the Team Mannatech™
program, a group of world-class athletes who serve as role models for
today’s wellness generation. Townsend’s
cumulative 14 ISKA world breaking titles give him more than any other
athlete in history. The annual event took place July 4 and 5 in Orlando,
Fla., showcasing more than 3,000 martial artists from around the globe
in front of approximately 8,000 spectators.
After competing for the world titles in power wood kicking and power
concrete, Townsend broke his forearm during his creative routine. He
pushed through the pain of his injury to win the creative division and
break a world record in the combat board breaking division. Townsend set
the new world record by breaking 36 boards (the previous record was 27
boards).
"We are proud of Chip’s
recent accomplishments and to have this martial arts legend on our team,”
said Butch Johnson, former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and senior
director of community affairs and sports marketing for Mannatech. "Mannatech’s
proprietary line of high-quality health and wellness products are
popular among a number of competitive athletes, and are a part of Chip’s
rigorous training and nutritional supplement regimen.”
In addition to losing the use of his right eye as a child, Townsend
battled back from a severed Achilles tendon in 2006. He has become a
fifth degree black belt and has been training in tae kwon do since 1985.
Townsend has been featured on ESPN®,
ESPN2©, ESPN Classic®,
Fox Sports Net®, CSI
Sports®, XMA-Xtreme
Martial Arts®, the
Discovery Channel®
and FitTV® as a
result of his recent accomplishments, he will again be seen on ESPN2
this fall.
