Luta Livre tournament was a success!

After months of planning Marcelo Brigadeiro's hard work of organising a Luta Livre tournament between 13 gyms in the UK proved to be successful. The tournament which consisted of different weight categories and levels of experience. The tournament also had an open weight category for those who dared to enter it, were a guy who is 120kg could roll with a guy as low as 60kg it really was a shot in the dark who on who you were pitted against.

Another historic day for Luta Livre.
