Press Release - Toronto Ontario - Mixed Martial Arts clothing company Submit Gear Inc is proud to announce their sponsorship of Canadian mixed martial arts fighter Liz Posener.
Liz is a 31 year old mother of two, who studies Pankration and Muay Thai kickboxing at the Kel Lee's Academy of Martial Arts in Vancouver, BC, owned by her husband Simon. She entered the mixed martial arts scene five years ago, but her love for the sport began at a young age. Her first exposure to contact fighting was watching boxing with her father. From there, her interests expanded onto grappling and other contact sports. In the Posener household, martial arts is truly a way of life. Liz is married to a former PNW Pro Pankration Champion, and North American Pro Muay Thai Champion. Their 10 year-old daughter Lydia is not only her biggest fan, but she also trains and competes in kick boxing herself.Like other practitioners of the sport, Elizabeth had to deal with stereotypes and misconceptions from day one.
"When I talk to other parents they're usually surprised that a mother of two does this kind of thing, but that comes from people not knowing enough about what mixed martial artists do", Posener said. " It's not just two people beating each other in a cage."
Today, Elizabeth is one of the few female MMA fighters in Canada and has achieved several sponsors in her support. "She is without a doubt making her mark in the MMA world" says urban fight apparel company (http://www.submitgear.com)/ owner Mark Chiappino.
She was the first female fighter to compete in both the "Elite Fighting Championships" and the "Real Fighting Championships". Her current MMA record is 3-1-0, all wins by TKO.
Elizabeth will be fighting in Florida's first women's MMA title fight on December 22, 2006 for the UFC (Unified Cage Fights) bantamweight mma title. Following that event, will be another title fight in the "Gladiators Challenge" on January 26th, 2007.
