                                  PRESS RELEASE

TMANGLOBAL.COM OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS RESIGN

3/13/01

ORLANDO, Fla., Mar 13, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- TMANglobal.com (OTC
Bulletin Board: CHOP) announced today that Chairman & CEO Tony Interdonato and
President Ron Tramontano have resigned their posts with the Company. Mr.
Interdonato submitted his resignation at the close of business yesterday and Mr.
Tramontano added his resignation this afternoon. The move comes as little
surprise to most industry observers since the Company has been undergoing a
recent change of strategy in light of its flagging share price in the wake of
the dot-com industry fallout.

"I felt that it is time for me to move on and pursue other opportunities," said
Tony Interdonato, former CEO of TMANglobal.com. "We have been seeking new
opportunities for our shareholders, but in light of recent market conditions --
particularly those which have affected dot-com-related companies, it has been
difficult." The Company has recently shut down its Internet Web site and sold
all martial arts-related components back to its parent company, The Martial Arts
Network, in exchange for the cancellation of all remaining debt to the Network.
Added former President Ron Tramontano, "We have been trying hard to turn the
Company around for some time now, and if our resigning and turning the reins
over to others will help facilitate that, then it is a healthy move for the
Company and all of its shareholders."
