Tai Chi Vs Luta Livre

Interesting sparring session between a luve libre and a tai chi fighter.  If you are unaware, luve libre is a Brazilian grappling art that developed independently of and in rivalry with Brazilian Jujitsu.  It's been called "BJJ for those too poor to own a gi."  Early matches between the two were quite even with LL fighters sometimes beating renowned Gracie fighters.



Note that in this match the tai chi fighter manages to prevent the single leg takedown but the luva libre eventually ends up in the dominant position on the ground.  The tai chi fighter keeps him in a headlock.  It seems quite friendly and they respect and share information with each other.
