The ISWA is proud to announce their association with Flavio Santiago and his Luta Livre team.
The founder of the system was Euclydes Hatem (Tatu). He is considered one of the greatest Brazilian fighters of all time. Master Hatem, pioneer of the art, fought (and defeated) George Gracie in the 1940’s.
In the 1970’s LL was strongly influenced by technical experts like Roberto Leitao. As he was smaller and not as strong as his training partners, he needed to develop good techique to defeat them. He developed not only isolated techniques, but general principles as well that could be applied to all the techiques.

The next generation produces fighters such as Hugo Duarte and Eugenio Tadeu who in turn taught Marco Ruas and Daniel d’ Dane.
Cacareco: Champion of the IVC (International Vale Tudo Championchip) trained under Hugo Duarte.
Alexandre Franca “Pequeno” Nogueira Lightweight Champion in Shooto in Japan trained under Eugenio Tadeu and Daniel d’Dane.”
This style was very succesful in Vale Tudo tournaments in Rio, especially in combination with Thai boxing.
The words Luta Livre are Portuguese meaning “free fight”. It is a complete martial art system which was designed in Rio de Janeiro. It is first and foremost a submission grappling style where competitors use joint locks and chokes to submit their opponent. Also worth noting is it’s similarity to catch wrestling and shoot wrestling in it’s aproach to grappling.
