SAFE International Launches Mississauga Private Self Defense Lessons – Mississauga, ON Self Defense

Leave a comment

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include private self defense lessons in Mississauga, ON.

Mississauga, ON, March 12, 2012 – (Straight Line PR) – Mississauga Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Mississauga Private Self Defense Lessons

SAFE International ™ is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Ontario. SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include private self defense lessons in Mississauga, ON.

SAFE International realizes that both women and men don’t necessarily want to join a martial arts club, or even take a public self defense seminar. SAFE International provides their mobile self defense right in the home. This allows SAFE International instructors to tailor the course based on the specific needs and concerns of the client. Self defense training in the home allows the client to be completely relaxed and comfortable training, without being self-conscious of others who might be watching in a public self defense course.

One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching private self defense Mississauga, is how receptive men and women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows the client to learn in a much shorter time. While some people have hours to dedicate to training, SAFE International can offer some basic, but effective self defense concepts in just a few hours.

SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one’s daily routines such as using elevators, car safety, home safety, plus much more. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn’t want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage such as asking for directions or the time. The next stage is verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, SAFE International covers a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario.

The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Mississauga private self defense lessons. Instructors begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance. SAFE teaches gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. Complex skills are proven to be ineffective in the high stress of real violence. The main philosophy taught is to “Attack the Attacker” which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator.

SAFE International does not teach martial arts, but rather, practical, easy to adopt and highly effective concepts. Mississauga Private Self Defense is available to individuals, families, couples, or friends.

SAFE International has taught more than 150,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Phoenix 12th Annual Sportsmen’s Expo to Host First-Ever Gathering of the Tribes and Hunting the Rez Auction

Leave a comment

Hunters and outdoor-sports enthusiasts will have a chance to bid on art pieces and hunting and fishing packages–some fetching perhaps six figures–at the “First Annual Indian Country Big Game Auction.”

Glendale, AZ, February 20, 2012 – Hunters and outdoor-sports enthusiasts will have a chance to bid on art pieces and hunting and fishing packages–some fetching perhaps six figures–at the “First Annual Indian Country Big Game Auction.” Showcasing big-game hunting and fishing opportunities available on U.S. and Canadian Indian Reservations, the auction will be conducted during the Phoenix International Sportsmen’s Exposition, which runs February 23-26 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.

Coordinated by Hunting The Rez Magazine, the auction will take place on Friday, February 24, from 3p-6p on the show’s main Adventure Theater stage. Auction items are listed online: http://bid.huntingtherez.com/auction.aspx?as=22110

ISE Phoenix will also feature the first-ever Hunting The Rez Pavilion, in which the following North American tribes will spotlight their outdoor opportunities:

* Blackfeet Nation, Browning, MT

* Blood Reserve, Stand Off Alberta, Canada

* Chippewa – Cree, Rocky Boy, MT

* Gros Ventre – Assiniboine, Fort Belknap, MT

* Hualape Game & Fish Dept., Peach Springs, AZ

* Jicarilla Game & Fish Dept., Dulce, NM

* Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, Lower Brule, SD

* Mandan – Hidatsu – Arikara (MHA Nation/Three Affiliated Tribes), New Town, ND

* Pueblo of Acoma, Acoma, NM

* Pueblo of Zuni, Zuni, NM

* Quinault Nation, Taholah, WA

* San Carlos Apache Recreation, San Carlos, AZ

* White Mountain Apache Tribe, Whiteriver, AZ

Jason Belcourt, co-founder and editor of Hunting The Rez Magazine, commented: “Indian country offers vast hunting and fishing opportunities and this auction is a way to showcase what’s available to a very large audience of sports enthusiasts.

“Other expos have featured auctions, but Hunting The Rez’s event is the first where all of the hunting and fishing packages up for bid are exclusively from Indian reservations,” said Belcourt. “Tribes and tribal outfitting businesses will be able to meet with anglers and big-game hunters who may have never hunted or fished on Indian Reservations.”

Another motivation for this special event, says Belcourt, is the amount of misinformation in the hunting community. “Each Tribe has its own laws and regulations for hunting and fishing on their property. Many of the tribes are in the early stages of developing their fish-and-game departments. This auction and the HTR Pavilion is a way to educate the market about what hunting and fishing is available today in Indian Country.”

About International Sportsmen’s Exposition
“The International Sportsmen’s Exposition is Arizona’s largest, most-diverse gathering of fishing, hunting and outdoor products and destinations all year,” said John Kirk, ISE’s Director of Communications. “With hundreds of exhibiting companies, free seminars throughout the day every day, free parking, giant Youth Fair plus free entry for youth under 16 and active military, the ISE is also a tremendous family value.”

DETAILS: $15 adult admission. Hours: Thurs-Fri 10:00am – 6:00pm; Sat 10:00am – 6:00pm; Sun 10:00am – 5:00pm.

JTX Fitness Launch Range of Home Fitness Accessories

Leave a comment

It has been a case of ‘battening down the hatches’ for health and fitness clubs in the UK over the last few years as consumers look to cut back their spending says Mintel in their latest ‘ Health and Fitness Clubs, UK’ report. While health clubs have seen business decline or stay relatively flat private health club enthusiasts have turned to training at home and public leisure centres.

With a third of the UK population now exercising at home (Mintel, Fitness In The Home) there is now a need for increased focus on safety and equipment maintenance. ‘We are increasingly aware that at this time of year the majority of our customers are now using their home gym equipment as their only means of exercise. They have often invested in a treadmill, cross trainer or vibration plate to cut out the expense of the gym and stay warm and dry when its miserable outside.’ Lloyd Martin, Owner of JTX Fitness. However, very few home fitness equipment retailers provide customers with the information and accessories to safely exercise at home and look after their machines.

With vibration plates proving increasingly popular for home use, away from the eyes of trained professionals in gyms, it has become very important for fitness retailers to provide detailed workout instructions. JTX Fitness have launched their accessories range for treadmills and vibrations plates with home workouts and equipment maintenance in mind. ‘We know there are a lot of people simply standing on a vibration plate. Although this may be helping to tone their legs, dynamic exercises like squats or press ups are much more effective. The JTX Fitness accessories range includes a DVD and Poster to help de-mystify home vibration training for people who have not attended a vibration training class run by a trained professional. ‘We always recommend trying a range of different vibration plates at the gym and in high street salons so that so that our customers understand the different vibration styles and how best to work out on them. But this DVD and poster provides a cost effective option and great reminder for those who have stopped going to the gym’ said JTX Fitness owner Lloyd Martin. The poster and DVD provide an introduction to carrying out these exercises safely and a great full body workout. The fitness retailer has also provided a few tips from the DVD at their website so that all beginner vibration plate trainers can get started with their workouts in a safe way.

The JTX Fitness accessories range also includes products for use with treadmills. The Treadmill Lubricant, £10 which will last regular treadmill users at least a year will greatly extend the life of any treadmill. Most retailers do not provide their customers with this simple kit and many customers are unaware that they are damaging their machines by not lubricating them.

JTX’s top selling accessory since the launch of the range has been the Treadmill Floor Protection Mats, with customers eager to protect their carpet or wood floor. The clever thing about these mats is that they come in two parts, allowing the mat at the foot of the treadmill to be packed away when our folding treadmills are packed away after a workout. Made from 100% Active Foam the mats will ensure the 88kg weight of the treadmill and added force caused by running is cushioned before impacting on the floor. This product is suitable for both static and folding treadmills less than 900mm wide.

This is coupled with close integration with the internet’s top social networks including Facebook, Twitter and Google+ which makes it easier than ever for fans to share their views and content with other fans from across the globe.

Lead project designer James Scott who was in charge of the overhaul had this to say about the new look LoveFooty.net: “We had to completely overhaul the site design and we gave it a fresh lick of colour as the old site was rather bland, just in time for the African Cup of Nations 2012.”

Glendale, AZ, January 16, 2012 – The Boy Scouts of America’s Grand Canyon Council will partner with the 12th annual Arizona International Sportsmen’s Exposition (ISE) during the state’s largest outdoor event Feb. 23-26 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.

Scott Impecoven, BSA’s COO for the Grand Canyon Council, said, “It’s a great partnership for us because what we do fits right in the with the outdoors. We appreciate the opportunity for the increased visibility the ISE offers to us through this partnership.”

According to John Kirk, Communications Director at ISE, the expo has offered the BSA generous opportunities for marketing, fundraising and outreach, including a large exhibit space at no cost. Boy Scout troops will enjoy access to discounted prices to sell tickets to participants, from which the ISE will award the BSA a percentage for every ticket sold. Event tickets are free to all youth under 16.

ISE will also partner with BSA to solicit donation items for auction or raffle at the event, and will promote BSA in media.

A win-win partnership, the BSA will in turn promote ISE’s discount ticketing via emails, websites and newsletters, and also during pack/den meetings beginning this month.

At the ISE, BSA will create an activity area that includes a monkey bridge and climbing tower, featured as part of the expo’s youth fair, which is hosted by Arizona Game & Fish Department.

“We respect and admire BSA for fostering self-reliance in youth, as well as a respect for the outdoors. We believe ours is a great platform for BSA to promote their message, and also, the ISE appreciates their help in broadening our attendance in Arizona,” said Kirk.

300 exhibitors will pack the stadium’s 160,000-square-foot space, offering outdoor enthusiasts products and services for fishing, hunting, travel, offroading, boating, camping. Increasing the event’s value are free seminars, contests and clinics. Celebrity guest appearances include Lt. John Nores Jr., co-star of National Geographic TV’s Wild Justice, and Hank Shaw, author of Hunt, Gather, Cook.

SAFE International Launches Pickering Women’s Self Defense for Travellers – Pickering, ON Self Defense

SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense for travellers in Pickering, ON.

Pickering, ON, January 15, 2012 – (Straight Line PR) – Pickering Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Pickering Women’s Self Defense for Travellers.

SAFE International ™ is one of the leading providers of mobile self defense/personal protection training in North America. SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women’s self defense for travellers in Pickering, ON.

At this time of year, thousands of Canadians and Americans will head south to some of the warmer clients to escape the cold North American winter many of us experience. While the majority will have an amazing time, there are countless stories of women and men of all ages, forgetting that they are in a foreign country in which there are some inherent risks. SAFE International has the history and curriculum to help reduce those risks. SAFE International doesn’t only teach physical self defense concepts, but also how to avoid becoming a victim through Awareness/Avoidance training.

Some of the risks people need to concern themselves with when traveling in regards to women’s travel self defense Pickering includes what an attacker looks for in a potential victim, what an attacker wants and doesn’t want in confrontation, hotel safety, plus taxis and buses. One of the biggest topics that SAFE International explores is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. The nightlife in many of these countries provides many opportunities for attacks, date rape or kidnappings. SAFE International covers the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. Instruction would then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, SAFE International instructors cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Pickering women’s self defense for travellers. Physical self defense instruction begins with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance. SAFE International only teaches gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. They teach a philosophy of “Attack the Attacker” which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. Self defense training does not take years, and in fact with just a few hours of women’s self defense instruction for travelers, you can be confident that you have reduced the odds of harm and can have some peace of mind if it is your daughter or son who is traveling.

SAFE International has taught more than 135,000 women since 1994.
