A Luta nasceu em cada lugar onde o homem apareceu. E junto com ele se desenvolveu. Ela nasce “livre” como diz o próprio nome sem adereços ou complementos, em consonância com a própria natureza. O homem sempre lutou, e continuará lutando até o fim dos séculos.
”A Luta Livre nestes últimos 10 anos cresceu em técnica, reduzindo o impacto da força e condicionamento físico, conseqüentemente aumentando o seu refinamento, exatamente no sentido contrário do que aconteceu com outras modalidades, especialmente praticada com kimono.”
o Brasil se tornou uma força na Luta Mundial, embora até hoje sem a organização que se faria necessário. Japão e Estados Unidos, caminharam juntos também, sem entretanto atingir o nível do Brasil. Um dos fatores que mais alavancaram a Luta, foi o ressurgimento do “Vale Tudo” (“No Holds Barred” ou “Mixed Martial Arts”) com diversos eventos importantes no Brasil, Estados Unidos e Japão.
