Team Mannatech Athlete Wins World Titles and Sets World Record

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. 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).
