Amir Perets Personal Anti-Terrorism Self Defense and Fitness DVD Set

West Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) December 1, 2005

At age 18, Amir Perets became Israel?s heavyweight full-contact martial arts champion. Already an expert martial artist and national champion, he joined Israel?s Defense Forces (the ?IDF?). Soon he became an instructor of the infantry and Special Forces units for ?Krav Maga,[1]? the IDF hand-to-hand combat system, as well as an instructor for combat fitness. Excelling as an instructor, Amir was assigned to the top level of Krav Maga instruction in the IDF, certifying the hand-to-hand combat instructor course, Having taught some of the IDF top instructors, Amir then was selected for the elite IDF Naval Commando Unit (the Israeli equivalent to the U.S Navy SEALS). There, he built that unit's hand-to-hand combat program and trained them to use it.

After completing his military service, Amir traveled to Thailand to continue to pursue his interest in mixed martial arts by training in ?Muy Thai,? the famous Thai system of kickboxing. Amir then immigrated to the United States and began using his broad experience in mixed martial arts to teach defensive techniques against armed and unarmed assailants to U.S. Special Forces Units, U.S. Federal Agencies and select police department units. Simultaneously, he became a lead instructor at the newly formed ?Krav Maga National Training Center," in Los Angeles California, where he holds a fourth degree black belt.

In his own quest to discover the best elements of many different types of martial arts, Amir continued to study mixed-martial arts, training with and instructing world champion "no holds barred" professional fighters.

Since September 11, Amir has devoted himself to finding a way to bring the same skills he has taught military personnel, police units and professional fighters to the general public. To do so, he has distilled a lifetime?s learning and teaching mixed-martial arts into ?The System: Personal Anti-Terrorism Training? a simple, effective method of dealing with attacks by both armed and unarmed assailants. Using ?The System? and its program of self defense, awareness and fitness, anyone willing to commit themselves to learn can dramatically improve his or her chances of surviving and prevailing in a violent confrontation.

[1] ?Krav Maga? means, ?contact combat? in Hebrew.

Last-Minute Gift Ideas From A Chicago Personal Trainer

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 27, 2011

It?s just a few days before Christmas, but 10 percent of American shoppers admit they?ll still be looking for last-minute gifts up until Christmas Eve. In fact, stores like Target and Toys R Us will stay open until 9 and 10 pm, respectively, to cater to the demands of procrastinating consumers. Weight loss consistently tops the list of New Year?s resolutions in America, so it makes sense that shoppers should consider fitness-related gifts in these final days before December 25th. Craig Kastning is a Chicago gym and personal trainer who has been keeping an eye out for cool fitness nut gifts this season and he offers his suggestions here.

????Book: Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?
Craig Says: ?This book answers every possible question a person could have about exercising, including ?Should I exercise when I?m sick?? and ?Will running ruin my knees?? While it?s not as good as having a Chicago personal trainer, it does use scientific research to improve a person?s knowledge.? ($ 8, Barnes & Noble)

????Cookbook: Paleo Comfort Foods.
Craig Says: ?In Chicago personal trainer education courses, we learn how every food group has its specific nutritional profile. While I generally don?t advocate cutting out any single group, there are certain cases where a person has a gluten or dairy allergy and should watch what they eat. The Paleo diet has picked up a lot of street cred over the years and this cookbook has some delicious recipes, whether you?re a fan of the diet or just someone looking for healthy dinner recipes.? ($ 17.50, WAL-MART)

????CORE Arm Band by BodyMedia
Craig Says: ?We all know that elliptical trainers and treadmills lie about how many calories you?ve burned. The CORE Arm Band seems to be one of the more reliable calorie-expenditure-counters on the market. Research indicates that people lost 3 times? as much weight using the Arm Band to motivate themselves and track their steps taken, total physical activity, sleep duration and calories burned.? ($ 149, BodyMedia.com ? Free Holiday Shipping!)

????Bosu Ball by Fitness Quest
Craig Says: ?Remember when everyone had those big round exercise balls in their homes? Well, the Bosu Ball is the newest craze. We use them in our boot camp classes all the time. You can combine cardiovascular exercise, stretching, toning and balance control in a Bosu workout. ($ 109, Target)

?Lastly, don?t forget about my Chicago fitness and personal trainer sessions. If you have a friend, family member, or loved one who is serious about getting fit in 2012, I will make sure they lose a healthy two pounds every week until they reach their goals. Not only do I offer gift certificate stocking stuffers, but I have a special promotion right now where people get nutrition counseling and a week of fitness boot camp classes for $ 1!?

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) January 10, 2012

The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS? (C.A.R.) today announced it has entered into an affinity partnership with Guardly, a leading provider of mobile personal safety applications, to provide a smartphone app that helps REALTORS? stay safe on the job.

Guardly is extremely pleased to team up with C.A.R., the largest state association of REALTORS? in the country, for its Keep Safe Program for REALTORS?. Guardly will offer the REALTOR? safety mobile application to C.A.R.?s 155,000 members.

Guardly is a mobile smartphone application that can help REALTORS? feel safe and secure while on the job. Guardly empowers its users by providing one-touch access to their safety network. Simply launching the Guardly app on a smartphone will instantly identify a user's location and alert family, friends, co-workers, managers and 911 operators that he or she has an emergency. Beyond simple notifications, Guardly instantly connects users to their contacts through conference call, instant messaging and real-time location tracking.

Guardly?s Keep Safe Program for REALTORS? provides REALTORS? with peace of mind when performing the everyday duties of their job including hosting open houses, meeting new clients, working late at night and showing vacant properties in unfamiliar locations.

In a recent National Association of REALTORS? (NAR) safety survey, 67% of respondents said they have experienced safety concerns, incidents, or other harassing situations while working as a REALTOR?[1]. An NAR survey from 2010 also indicated that 93% of respondents aged 40 years old or younger used a smartphone to conduct real estate business and 86% of respondents older than 40 use a smartphone[2].

?With criminal attacks against REALTORS? on the rise and the prevalent usage of smartphones by REALTORS?, it was a natural fit to equip our members with Guardly as a tool to stay safe,? said C.A.R. President LeFrancis Arnold. ?We encourage members to take advantage of this technology and to share it with family, friends, and clients.?

?It is amazing to see the interest from REALTOR? associations in such a short time frame,? mentioned Luke Slan at Guardly. C.A.R. is an extremely visionary and innovative association and is an obvious leader in the field. I expect many other associations to follow their lead in recognizing the importance of REALTOR? safety and make this product available to their members.?

The Guardly Keep Safe Program for REALTORS? encourages C.A.R. members to form groups or buddy systems, which act to connect managers, colleagues, family and friends in case of emergency and facilitate communication between parties to provide assistance. In offering Guardly to its members, C.A.R. is reaffirming its commitment to REALTOR? safety and encouraging its members to activate and share this safety tool.
