Warrior Expo – New Balance

Thursday, April 24th, 2014

The New Balance Minimist line has been a huge success and they continue to introduce new models. Here are two of the latest.

First off, I’ll show you a sneak peek at the MX20 V4 which comes early next year. It offers a 4mm drop from heel to toe.

The MX00 is a completely neutral shoe meaning no drop heel to to toe. Think gym shoe. It’s meant to get those weightlift into a minimalist shoe. It allows for biomechanically correct foot positioning. It’s out now.

Finally, we’ve got the Fresh Foam 980 which is a neutral cushion running shoe with a 4mm drop from heel to toe. It has been winning awards since being released about two months ago thanks to its innovative Fresh Foam midsole. It’s a single piece of foam that offers concave foam for cushioning
and convex for stability. Awarded “Best Ride” in the Competitor Magazine Spring Shoe Guide. Available now!

Panteao Productions – New Vehicle Defense Video With Paul Howe

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2014

Columbia, SC, April 22, 2014 – Panteao is happy to introduce a new video title with Paul Howe: Make Ready with Paul Howe: Vehicle Defense.

Unless you ride a subway or bicycle to work, odds are you find yourself in a vehicle pretty often. Most likely every day of the week. That said, if you carry a firearm, how would you defend yourself from a vehicle? We got you covered with this video from Paul Howe.

Paul is a high-risk training instructor that served 20 years in the US Army, ten of those in Special Operations. He served as a Tactical Team Leader and Senior Instructor while assigned to Army Special Operations. During his tour in special operations he was involved in several combat actions. One of the most notable was the battle of Mogadishu that was later portrayed in the motion picture Black Hawk Down.

In this video, Paul takes you through shooting from both the inside and outside of a vehicle, moving around vehicles, skipping rounds off a vehicle and under it, dealing with moving targets, and more. Paul also goes over flat range drills that will help you fine tune your skills. Time is critical when you are confined in your car or truck. With this video you will be much better prepared.

The DVD is available for pre-order. Panteao website subscribers will be able to watch the video starting April 24th.
