At tage fitness til den digitale tidsalder

ved: Hvad Andz

WhatsApp ping 10:00 ... ”Hej, dette er dit motionscenter, på grund af coronavirus er gymnastiksalen lukket indtil videre ”.

Hvis du er som mig, og du har brug for løberens høje niveau for at holde din krop og sind i skak, så var ovenstående besked dommedagsscenariet. Glem toiletpapiret, Jeg har brug for mine vægte!

Det er for mig, en gymnastiksal…hvad med de personlige trænere, MMA-krigere, bryderne, de boksere, der tjener deres levebrød på alt, hvad Covid-19 tvinger os til ikke at?

Disse erhverv er muligvis ikke en "vigtig tjeneste" som ambulancechauffører og supermarkeder, men disse fagfolk er en vigtig tjeneste for de kommende dage for sindet, krop, og sjæl for alle, især under en epidemi bliver mere og mere vigtig for dagen, selv i timen.

Den gode nyhed er…digital kommunikation af fysisk kunst er IKKE en ny ting. Træningsvideoer, brydning og MMA-kamp er alle blevet digitaliseret startende fra tv-spots, YouTube og næsten hvor som helst du kan finde en skærm.

Første skridt er at spørge dig selv, hvordan har du tilbudt dine tjenester indtil nu?

Nu, kan du replikere det foran et kamera? 

Nu, kan du bruge en computer og lægge ting på et medlemswebsted?
(se lige det her https://www.capterra.com/sem-compare/membership-management-software)

Hey! Du har en forretning!

Næsten enhver uddannelsesbaseret service, selv fysisk kan digitaliseres og præsenteres. Do Not, det bliver ikke så godt som de rigtige ting og nej, du kan ikke forvente, at dine kunder har det udstyr, som gymnastiksalen har…

…Men her er den vanskelige del, og her er forskellen mellem en vellykket kampagne og en, der ikke er ...

Første ting at forstå er, folk betaler for værdi, især i denne æra, hvor udgifterne skal gøres godt. Så lad os gøre det godt

Mulighed A: Tonen ned. Udstyr er for det meste utilgængeligt, så skift dit træningsprogram op for ikke at have brug for de smarte stykker. Spørge dig selv, hvad kan du bytte ind eller ud af rutinen og stadig få den effekt, du leder efter?

En trappemester kan erstattes af trapper, vægte kan erstattes af sten (omhyggeligt).

Hvis du laver dine træningsvideoer med dette tonede udstyr, gør det til noget, som alle kan gøre, på ethvert budget, du fik dig selv en vinder.

Dette er også muligheden for at kombinere andre tjenester, der arbejder sammen, såsom ernæring under isolation. Et uendeligt niveau af muligheder, måske endda mere end normalt.

Mulighed B: Upsell – Folk har ikke dette udstyr, hvorfor ikke få det til dem. Alle butikker lider. Nå ud til disse butikker og fabrikker og indgå en aftale, som du vil hjælpe med at lette salget for dem.

På tur, du annoncerer for en særlig rabat på det bedste udstyr. Mens du begynder at optjene provision på dette salg. En ægte win-win for alle. Hvis du har brug for hjælp til din digitale markedsføring, chatte med disse fyre.

Husk dit publikum, dens demografiske og hvordan det markedsføres.

Jeg ved, at dette er new age-typer marketingtaktikker til den jordnære gymnastik, det er de tidspunkter, vi skal lære at tilpasse os og ændre…eller forsvinder.

40th anniversary of tragic airplane crash in Poland

22 members of Team USA Boxing perished

Colorado Springs, Lap. (Marts 14, 2020) – One of the darkest days in American sports history occurred 40 years ago today, when Polish Airlines flight #7 that had departed John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City crashed a half-mile from Okecie Airport in Warsaw, Polen.
 
Alle 87 passengers died, Herunder 14 boxers and eight officials on the USA Boxing team, due to a disintegration of a turbine disc in one of the plane’s engines that ultimately failed.
 
Team USA was traveling to Poland to compete in two international amateur boxing dual events. The average age of the 14 boxers was only 20 ½, ranging from 27-year-old Walter Harris to 16-year-old Byron Payton.
 
The potential Olympic dreams of the 14 boxers were destroyed in the horrific accident. Although most of the boxers were still in their developmental stage, outside of prospective medal challenger Lemuel Steeples, each member aspired to represent the United States in the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. (The United States eventually led a boycott of the 1980 Olympics because of the Soviet-Afghan War.)
 
I remember coming home from my boxing gym on March 14, 1980 and hearing the news of the plane crash on the evening news,” stated USA Boxing Executive Director Mike McAtee.
 
As an aspiring Olympic-style boxer I was shocked and felt a sense of loss like every American boxer, coach and official. Today we are reminded that life is precious, and every day is a blessing. On behalf of USA Boxing’s Board of Directors, 48,000 boksere, coaches and officials and the national office staff we remember the 1980 USA Boxing Team Members and Staff. Please keep them, their families and the worldwide Olympic-style boxing family in your thoughts and prayers.
 
Down But Not OutLost But Not Forgotten

USA Boxing Head Coach Billy Walsh remembers the crash to this day. “I remember it well, as I was a 16-year-old dreaming of the Olympics,” said Walsh. “It was massive news in Europe, a big tragedy with some of the world’s best boxers and staff wiped out. We lost a generation of great fighters, and most importantly loved ones.
 
Patricia Chavis was only seven years old when she learned her father, Sgt. Elliott Chavis, had perished in the crash. She was playing outdoors with friends when she noticed a lot of people crying as they entered and left her home. Her mother called her inside, sat her down with people watching, and said that her father wasn’t coming back because he had been killed in a plane crash.
 
She asked me if I understood and I did, because we had recently lost my great grandmother and paternal grandfather,” an emotional Patricia explained. “I went back outside and told my friends. They were a little older and they didn’t understand why I hadn’t stayed inside with family. It didn’t really hit me that my dad wasn’t coming home until my teenage years. I remember sitting in bed and writing letters to him.
 
Every year still affects me every March. We usually have a family dinner with my mom and grandchildren. They listen to stories about a man they never met. He’s buried in South Carolina and we’ve laid flowers on his grave. Every year on March 14th it brings back memories and we celebrate his life.
 
Sgt. Chavis, who died at the age of 25, was stationed at Ft. Bragg (N.C.), where he learned to box. Han var medlem af den 118th Military Police Company and during his boxing career, the light heavyweight was All-Army and All-Southeastern.
 
My parents married young,” Patricia continued. “My mom told me he was always athletic. He played football and was a pole vaulter on the track team in high school. But I didn’t know anything about his boxing until we went to a reunion at Ft. Bragg. Around the 30th anniversary I got in touch with some of his Army buddies when I saw on Facebook that they were having a reunion. I went there with my mom and listened to stories they told me about his boxing career. I found it so interesting because I hadn’t known about that. There are quite a few memorials I’ve seen on Facebook and I try to get in touch with other family members (of her father’s teammates who died in the crash). We’ll never forget!”

BRANDUN LEE FORTSÆTTER IMPONERENDE START PÅ KARRIEREN MED TREDJE RUNDE TKO OVER CAMILO PRIETO I HOVEDBEGIVENHEDEN AF SHOBOX: DEN NYE GENERATION FREDAG PÅ SHOWTIME®

Brian Norman, Jr. Wins Via Technical Unanimous Decision Over Flavio Rodriguez; Alejandro Guerrero and Aram Avagyan Earn Impressive Majority Decision Victories At Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley, Fra.



Fange Replay mandag, Marts 16 På 10 p.m. ET / PT On SHOWTIME EXTREME®



Klik HER til Billeder; Credit Stephanie Trapp / SHOWTIME



HINCKLEY, MINN. - Marts 14, 2020 - Undefeated 20-year-old super lightweight prospect Brandun Lee continued the impressive start to his career by scoring a third-round TKO over 33-year-old challenger Camilo Prieto in the ShoBox: Den nye generation main event Friday night from Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley, Fra.



The knockout artist Lee, who had stopped 16 for sit første 18 professional opponents, eased into Friday’s main event, seeking to take his time and add more rounds to his resume. But after just two rounds, Lee (19-0, 17 KOS) stunned the mobile but overly defensive Prieto (15-3, 10 KOS) with a combination. Lee sensed he had injured his opponent and turned on the jets, scoring the TKO after unleashing a multi-punch barrage against the defenseless and against-the-ropes Prieto.



In a night where the four bouts were contested solely in front of the fighters’ friends and family, referee Mark Nelson intervened to stop the main event at the 2:34 mark of round number three. The numbers reflected the lopsidedness of the fight as Lee led 53-9 i de samlede slag landede, 17-8 in jabs connected and 36-1 on power shots. Lee landed more power shots in the fight (36) than Prieto attempted (34).



“I don’t think this was any kind of learning experience for Lee,” said SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “He needs tougher, more accomplished opponents who can at least give him rounds, if not a competitive fight.”



“I shouldn’t have gone three rounds with that guy,” said Lee, who was fighting on ShoBox for the second time. “I should have gotten him out of there in 40 seconds or a minute tops. But the guy had a game plan and his coach is a former world champion [Glen Johnson] who knew I hadn’t ever been past the fourth round. He was just trying to tire me out. No one wants to watch two guys looking at each other. My defense was a nine out of 10 i aften. But overall I give myself a C-minus. I want to take it to the next level and I’m just super grateful to SHOWTIME and ShoBox for giving me these opportunities.”



I co-featured Bout, an all-action affair between undefeated prospect Brian Norman, Jr. (17-0, 14 KOS) and Flavio Rodriguez (9-2-1, 7 KOS) was cut short after an accidental headbutt caused a deep vertical laceration on the forehead of Rodriguez. At the advice of the ringside physician, referee Gary Miezwa stopped the fight at 57 seconds of round number seven. The fight went to the judges’ scorecards with the technical unanimous decision going in Norman’s favor, 69-64 og 68-65 to gange.



Norman broke open a competitive fight by out-landing Rodriguez 79-35 overall and 73-20 in power punches in rounds five through seven, a reflection of Norman’s superior activity (72.4 punches per round to Rodriguez’s 54.4), accuracy (33%-29% samlet, 44%-32% magt) and body punching (67-50 in connects).



The 19-year-old Norman, who turned pro at the age of 17 and is trained by his father and former pro fighter Brian Norman Sr., showed the skills that give him the reputation of a highly-regarded prospect, but still left the fight feeling unsatisfied.



“That headbutt was right before the knockout,” said Norman. “I’m pretty sure everybody saw it. That boy was dead but I give him respect. I believe that seventh round was the knockout round, either by TKO or knockout. I had him dead the round before and drained all the energy out of him.”



“I know I won more rounds than that,” said the 29-year-old Rodriguez, who also feels a knockout was imminent, but in his favor. “I definitely know I won more rounds. I was hitting him with power shots and if we didn’t have that accidental headbutt I felt I could have gotten him out of there.”



In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, undefeated lightweight prospect Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero (12-0, 9 KOS) won a closely-contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo (12-2, 5 KOS). Dommerne scorede kampen 76-76, 79-73 og 78-74.



In the highly entertaining fight that pitted the aggressive Guerrero against the counter-punching Angulo, two of the judges were seemingly impressed more by Guerrero’s aggression and slightly better power punching (he led 109-104 in power punch connects) than by Angulo’s activity (89.3 punches per round to Guerrero’s 68.9), mobility and diverse combination punching.



With both men going past six rounds for the first time in their careers, it was Guerrero who was able to finish with more energy. He hurt Angulo with a strong right hand in the sixth round and nearly closed the show late in the eighth and final round, but the Ecuadorian who was making his U.S. debut was able to stay on his feet.



“That was probably the toughest fight I’ve had,” said the 22-year-old Guerrero. “I’ve fought at 140 before so his punch power wasn’t too much. Just his heart; you can tell when a fighter has heart and they just want to sit there and bang it out. I didn’t think it was an even fight. I was landing the better shots and I was the better man out there. I gave myself a seven. I can do way better. I just need more conditioning. Whoever’s next, I’ll take on the best in my weight division.”



In a battle of unbeaten featherweights making their ShoBox debuts in the telecast opener, Armenian Olympian Aram Avagyan (10-0-1, 4 KOS) overcame knockdowns in both the first and second rounds to earn a hard-fought majority decision over Dominican Republic’s Dagoberto Aguero (15-1, 10 KOS). Dommerne scorede kampen 75-75, 76-74 og 77-74.



For the second consecutive fight, Avagyan, who is trained by SugarHill Steward at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit, started slow and was knocked down in the first round. The 29-year-old also hit the canvas in round two when Aguero connected on a chopping overhand right. Starting in the third round, through an impressive body attack (98-42 in connects), better power accuracy (39%-35%) and his ability to induce a rugged inside fight, Avagyan was able to gradually empty the gas tank of Aguero, who had never been past six rounds.



A heavy right cross appeared to score a knockdown of Aguero in the seventh, but referee Gary Ritter ruled it a slip. Aguero led 55-24 in overall connects and 55-20 in power punches landed after two rounds, but Avagyan came on strong in rounds six through eight (83-44 samlet, 80-48 magt) to score the comeback victory. Aguero became the 192ND fighter to lose their undefeated record on ShoBox.



“After the second knockdown I just knew I needed to settle down and it would be okay," sagde Avagyan. “I had to just come back strong and keep applying the pressure and I did that. The knockdowns were big on points so I knew it would be tough to come back. I thought the performance was just okay. I can show more, and I will in the future.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Salita Promotions in association with D & D Boksning. Hele tv-udsendelsen afspilles på mandag, Marts 16 på 10 p.m. ET/PT på SHOWTIME EXTREME og vil være tilgængelig på SHOWTIME ALTID® og SHOWTIME på DEMAND®.

BJ Garceau will enter the NEF cage for the third and final time on April 18.

She defeated Sarah Ziehm (1-2) via split decision at “NEF 32” in February 2018. Garceau returned to the cage later that year, losing to Chelsea Tucker (3-3) in the third round of an “NEF 36” contest.

I’ll give it everything I’ve got one last time and this will be a fight you don’t want to miss. With that being said, I am beyond grateful for my opponent taking on the fight and every opportunity Young’s MMA, NEF and everyone in the mixed martial arts community has given me over the years. Tak, tak, tak!"

Fatima Kline will make the trek from her home in Hyde Park, New York for the fight. At just 19-years-old, Kline already holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. She made her amateur MMA debut last fall with a unanimous decision win on a card in White Plains, New York. Kline represents Black Hole Jiu-Jitsu based in Wappingers Falls, New York.

“I would like to thank NEF for giving me the opportunity to showcase all of my hard work,” said Kline when reached for comment. “Being that this is my debut fight for the organization, I promise to be at the top of my game come fight night. Tak, BJ, for accepting this matchup, and I look forward to seeing you in the cage. The one message I would have for the crowd is: be prepared to be entertained.”

Og overskrift på SHOWTIME igen vil fortsætte mit mål om at løfte kvindernes boksning til nye højder. Jeg vil give Flint og kæmpe fans over hele verden en nat at huske den maj 9!"

Shields blev den hurtigste fighter i historien, mand eller kvinde, at vinde verdenstitler i tre forskellige vægtafdelinger, overgår posterne for Vasiliy Lomachenko og Kosei Tanaka, som begge udførte præstationen i 12 slagsmål.

Den 24-årige Shields (10-0, 2 KOS) overstyrede Habazin fra åbningsklokken, ved hjælp af en stærk jab og en jævn diæt af kropsskud, der efterlod kroatien for det meste i defensiv tilstand gennem hele 10-runde-kampen. I den sjette runde, en række kropsskud tvang Habazin til at tage et knæ i den første knockdown i sin karriere.

Det bliver en triumferende nat i Flint den 9. maj. ”

Efter at være blevet den første amerikanske bokser i historien - mand eller kvinde - til at vinde to på hinanden følgende olympiske guldmedaljer, Shields blev professionelle efter 2016 OL og overskriften den første kvindelige boksning hovedbegivenhed i premium kabel-tv historie i netop hendes anden professionelle kamp i 2017.

Undefeated rising star JamaineThe TechnicianOrtiz In developmental process on way to top

WORCESTER, Masse. (Marts 11, 2020) – Fresh off his sensational hometown debut last month, JamaineThe Technician” Ortiz (13-0, 7 KOS) is in the middle of a developmental process that is, forhåbentlig, headed to the top of the 135-pound division by 2022.

The 23-year-old Ortiz, who will abdicate his World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight title next month when he turns 24 because he’ll be overage, headlined a Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) show February 28th at the famed Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Despite fighting for the first time in six months, Ortiz showed no signs of rust, forcing Mexican knockout specialist Loco” Luis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 KOS), en tidligere WBC FECOMBOX letvægtsmester, to take a knee after landing a crisp uppercut and then finishing him off later in the second round with three overhand rights.

Ortiz, vurderet Nej. 16 af det nordamerikanske bokseforbund (NABF), gained invaluable exposure headlining the CES event, which was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, verdens førende digitale abonnementstjeneste til kampsport.

There was no reason of any rust,” Ortiz explained. “I had been working hard in the gym for several months, where I always do my best. Maybe the bright lights (fighting at home for the first time) affected me a little? It was a little different going through the fans (on his ring walk) to get to the ring (on stage). I picture much bigger things in my future, so I can’t let small stuff like that put me off my game. But I settled in quickly and felt comfortable.

I hit him with a good uppercut to the jaw. I figured he’d get up, because he had a late reaction when he went down, but I knew it was over when I hit him with three overhand rights. I really hurt him with the last punch as he was going down. I didn’t say it publicly, but I told some people that I would knock him out in the second round, and I did what I said I’d do. I knew early that it was only going to be a matter of time.

Ortiz displayed his lightning quick hands and feet, also switching effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw, Jamaine plans to return to work next week as a union carpenter and he’s already started running before he gets back in the gym.

A decorated amateur who had an impressive 100-14 rekord, highlighted by consecutive New England Golden Gloves titles in 2015 & 2016, as well as a silver medal at the 2015 Nationale Golden Gloves turnering (he lost to current IBF World lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez i mesterskabet endelig) and reaching the semifinals of the 2016 US. Olympic Trials, Ortiz is a potential star on the rise.

Because he’s only 23 there is no legitimate reason to push Ortiz at this stage of his young pro career when his developmental process is in gear. First up is his initially scheduled 10-round fight, possibly for a regional title, likely against an accomplished, experienced opponent who will give Jamaine invaluable rounds (he only has 52 runder under hans bælte).

I 2021, the dream is for Ortiz to headline a major show at home in Worcester with world-ratings implications, at the new home of the Boston Red SoxAAA organization at Polar Park, which is being constructed now for an estimate construction cost of $100-million.

If all goes according to plans, Ortiz will challenge for a world title in 2022, at the latest.
The Ortiz Process has commenced with the goal of eventually developing him into a world titlist. Patience, selv, is the key to building a champion!
