I'm not sure if these have been posted here yet. Apologies if everyone has already seen them.
But, if anyone is interested this is a series of short vids by ADCC vet Nicolas Renier on some of the most notable Luta Livre coaches along with discussion of the history and current status of Luta Livre.

Thanks for sharing Jack! Those BJJ elitist jacket wearing haters.
Yeah, damnit! Quit trying to hold down our South American and European 100% no-gi brothers!Quote:

Great post.
way cool post jack.
Funny thing is, at my new gym we consider ourselves Luta Livre and our coach is really into the history and philosophy of it. In a couple weeks I'll be testing for my Luta Livre blue belt. Andreas "Andyconda" Schmidt who is one of Daniel D'Danes black belts gave our coach his black belt. The style is obviously no gi based and in 2014 is honestly just like any other no gi system, clinching is everything and leg locks are a huge part of the style. There are also a lot of sneaky guillotines and catch wrestling type top game attacks too. Very cool style that is making a comeback with the whole no gi movement
P.S. that rolling arm triangle during the intro of the videos is the shit
Soooo uhhhhh dat arm triangle and north south choke with the arm in.....gotta put 50-100 reps
Yep, I actually taught that to a few of my guys about 45 minutes ago at the gym.Quote:
