Earn Your Armour: Fight Form Edition kicks off
Taguig, Philippines – It’s how you start. And how you finish it. Under Armour Philippines officially launched the first leg of its “Earn Your Armour” campaign with the “Fight Form: Elite Edition” at Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City. The campaign is organized by Triple Private Ltd., the exclusive distributor of Under Armour in Southeast Asia.
In partnership with Ultimate Fitness gym and Coach Erwin Tagle, the “Philippine Bruce Lee”, the challenge brought together nearly a hundred martial arts enthusiasts for an evening of intense workouts. Pioneered by Coach Erwin Tagle, “Fight Form” is a fitness program that utilizes martial arts movements in a no-contact format. The high intensity workout lets athletes practice mixed martial arts movements such as jabs, kicks, sprawl and brawl, and others without need of a sparring partner. Athletes are scored based on number of repetitions within a set time limit, or maximum time to sustain a particular movement or position.
The launch of “Fight Form: Elite Edition” kicks off a 6-week program for aspiring athletes to Earn Their Armour with daily and weekly challenges. Participants must log on to www.tripleready.com to register, then download Endomondo fitness app to receive their challenges and to log their accomplishments. At the end of the series, the participants with the highest number of points get to bring home a full suite of Under Armour apparel and footwear.
To highlight Under Armour’s kinship with the martial arts community, the launch also featured exciting demonstrations of Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu and wrestling. Celebrity athletes Luis Manzano, JC de Vera and JM de Guzman showed their martial arts prowess to the delight of the audience.
