No-Gi submission grappling
What is Luta Livre?
Luta Livre (Portuguese for “free fight”) was born in Brazil as the no-gi rival of Jiu-Jitsu. It combines wrestling, ground control and submissions – and was a cornerstone of vale tudo, the forerunner of modern MMA.
Because there is no gi to grab, Luta Livre is fast, athletic and very direct. It is the perfect complement to BJJ and a must for anyone interested in MMA.
