King of the Cage to Use HitMaster™ Speed
Stats
MONTCLAIR, CA — November 3, 2004 —
Impact Training Systems, Inc. (ITS) announced that it has signed an
agreement with King of the Cage (KOTC) making the HitMaster™
Personal Trainer official training equipment for KOTC professional mixed
martial arts fighters.
“The HitMaster™ Personal Trainer
gives us a way to rate and compare our fighters and assess potential
fighters for our televised events,” said Terry Trebilcock, KOTC
promoter. “HitMaster Speed Stats™ will give our viewers and those
in attendance, meaningful statistics about the fighters. We are the
first in the fighting sports to have this.”
“KOTC has terrific events and
exciting fighters,” said Cisko Guerra, ITS VP of Marketing and Product
Development.” We’re looking forward to HitMaster Speed Stats™
igniting viewer interest in MMA competitions starting with the next KOTC
pay-per-view event on November 21st.”
The HitMaster™ Personal
Trainer is the first product in the sporting goods industry that turns
punching bags and shields into personal trainers by recording hits
electronically for instant display and exporting to a computer.
Three training programs provide instant
feedback that helps you to improve reaction time, speed and endurance.
The HitMaster™ Personal Trainer’s patented design was created
primarily to meet the needs of the martial arts, boxing and other sports
where reaction time, speed and endurance are critical. It’s for amateur
and professional athletes alike.
What makes the product unique are
the HitMaster HitPad™ and the HitMaster Controller. The HitPad™
is a thin and flexible electronic sensor that attaches securely with
Velcro straps to nearly every size and shape of punching bag or shield.
It features an aiming target for increased concentration. The cover,
made of 18 ounce vinyl-coated nylon, can withstand blunt weapons
training. HitPads™ come in single-zone (A, B or C) and multi-zone
configurations. Several HitPads™ can be connected to one
controller with a multi-port adapter (sold separately) for multiple-zone
training.
The Controller is lightweight and
durable and attaches to the HitPad™ straps or your belt. A large
2-line LCD screen shows you instant results. A Link cable is included so
that you can export data from your training sessions to a computer to
track your progress. The Controller runs on either a 9-volt battery or
the included AC adapter.
The Controller features three
training modes: Countdown Timer; Sparring Rounds; and Reaction Time.
Countdown Timer – Select from 1,
5, 10 or 60 second time periods to measure your speed. Single beep
begins and two beeps end sessions. Record total hits scored in up to 3
zones for up to 5 sessions. Review session results and export to a
computer.
Sparring Rounds – Simulates
competitive sparring. Select 2- or 3-minute round duration and 1 to 5
rounds, with 1-minute rest periods. One beep starts each round and two
beeps signals end of round/rest period and end of session. Record total
hits for entire session in up to 3 zones. Review round by round and
export to a computer.
Reaction Time – Test, train and
improve your reaction time. Select a 2- to 5-second random delay or
instant beep. Reaction time is measured in thousandths of a second.
Record up to 20 reaction times, average and fastest time. Review your
results and export to a computer.
