“We are working hard to establish our sports submission wrestling in Europe, and we are proud to present each time an international crowd of fighters participating in our tournaments like the LAC!

The LAC is a kind of forum where the main fighters from all over Europe are presenting their styles Luta Livre, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Sambo, JKD, Freestyle Wrestling and others under the same rules and regulations.”

In the LOCK AND CHOKE tournament the fights are without any timelimit in the advanced class. The fighters can just win by submission or by colleting points until the pointlimit. Points are given for throws or dominant positions where the oponent is in real danger like the Mount or Backmount.

This kind of rules makes the fights spectaculare and attractive to watch, because they avoid any kind of stalling (passiv way of fighting).
