Lyoto Machida vs Rashad Evans

SFX wants to congratulate Lyoto Machida on his victory over Rashad Evans at UFC 98. Rashad is a fierce competitor, but Lyoto was able to knock him out in the second round. A knock out is one of the greatest submissions a martial artists can deliever, and it is a crowd favorite as well. All of us here at SFX hope to see Rashad and Lyoto back in the cage soon! Train harder fight smarter.

Position before Submission

SFX promotes character and virtue along with hard martial arts training. Patients is a virtue, and this is where the phrase "position before submission" comes into play. So often a competitor will try to apply a choke, lock a joint, or land that knock out blow before he is in the proper position. This is unfortunate, because just a little bit of patients would have allowed for a submission. If you are a martial artists, you know exactly what I am talking about...trying to sink in the rear choke without having both leg hooks in, trying to bar an arm before securing it first, throwing that left hook without setting it up with a combination, even bridging out of the mount before you take away their post. Take the time to set your position before attempting the submission. Practice patients. Easier said than done, but it will be worth your while.

SFX vs TAPOUT

What sets Submission Effects apart from the rest of the competition?

SFX believes that a disciplined fighter can be confident without being cocky (or American arrogant). Anyone can put on a "tough guy" t-shirt and look like a hard knock, but SFX fighters let the cage define their fighting abilities. The SFX apparel makes them look good. Submission Effects believes that martial artists can be ferocious in the cage yet choose a lifestyle that upholds character and morals. Submission Effects sees women as beautiful creations of God that deserve to be treated as princesses (not merely as objects of sexuality).
So what sets us apart? Well just look at the message on the apparel...it speaks for itself.

Submission Effects:
Confident, not cocky.
