Luta Livre Compression by Nicolas Renier

Nicolas began training in Luta Livre in 1999, and by 2002 he was gaining significant experience in the Martial Art. Luta Livre is considered as a highly submission orientated Martial Art in comparison to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, where the goal is to acquire position before submission. In Luta Livre the goal is to surprise your opponent by getting into awkward positions as you attack ferociously for submission.
