Luta Livre is the brazilian for "freestyle Wrestling" but it's not the Olympic version... Its a Gi-less grappling method that combines judo,wrestling, jiu-jitsu, sambo, with some boxing,etc..
They have fighters competing in NHB matches mostly in Brazil.

yes, like muay thai, there is a specified place for special events.

For ex. in Thailand is one of the few places that holds Muay Thai

boxing fights with sweeping, choking, and elbows legal. another example

id Draaka which i worked with a while, which standardly can use

throws, but is mainly in Russia. so my point is, you will need a specific

place for a Luta Livre school because of the rarety..peace
