LUTA LIVRE
Luta Livre is a Brazilian Grappling Art
Our classes will teach you the art of Luta Livre Esportiva, a very fast and unorthodox submission grappling style. You will learn how to takedown, control an opponent and apply all manner of submission techniques such as arm bars, chokes and leg locks.
The class starts with a warmup, then drilling of techniques or concepts and ends with controlled sparring called rolling once the student is ready.
