Luta Livre Basic Techniques by Flavio Santiago (On Demand)

Discover a unique collection dedicated to the Brazilian martial art. Each master and expert detail their specialty through a series of instructional videos, shot on a black ground and a black background for optimum visibility of all movements.

In this film you will discover the Luta Livre Esportiva and its special features that make it a full-fledged martial art in Brazil, for its history and philosophy. Our style: offensive, constantly looking for dominance and submission.

Pioneer of Luta Livre in France, and at the head of the FST Team that won many titles in Grappling in France and in Europe, I'll show you our vision of ground fighting from many positions through offensive techniques. Throws, guard passing, controls, reversals and submissions will be taught in this first part.
