Chip & Glyn Ann Townsend - Martial Arts | United States

Master Chip Townsend began his journey in martial arts at the age of 13 under the tutelage of Grand Master Lim. As a youngster, Chip was not a stranger to adversity. When he was 3 years old, a freak injury cost him his right eye. From that day forward, he faced life with a one-eyed perspective. In Chip's case, that perspective was one of perseverance, and a belief that his handicap was in fact, not a handicap.

Chip has not only persevered to black belt and beyond, he has become a leader who mentors other leaders. To say he is an accomplished martial artist is an understatement. He holds 14 ISKA (International Sport Karate Association) World Titles in Breaking. He performs stunts that martial artists with two eyes struggle with, or cannot fathom. Furthermore, he holds a World Record for most boards broken in 8 seconds (36).

Because of his success as a martial arts champion, Chip has a unique platform to touch individuals in the martial arts community, and in the general public. He is a sought after public speaker, who devotes many hours to community service, speaking to school age children.

Chip has been featured on ESPN, Discovery Channel and FoxSports Net! He and wife Glyn Ann own successful schools in both Texas and Oklahoma.

Glyn Ann holds 3 ISKA World Breaking titles and has been featured on ESPN Sports Center's Top 10 HITS of the WEEK!. She was the first woman to break a baseball bat with a shin in World Competition.

They have 3 awesome children and are both Mannatech business builders.

"I work out for as long as I can, and when I just can't go any further, I take EM•PACT and let my body rest for a while. After that, I just fly through the rest of my workout. EM•PACT is priceless for extremely long, aerobically challenging workouts, and CardioBALANCE provides important nutrients for my entire cardiovascular system."
