A gym which has Muay Thai and Shootfighing and Grappling also teaches Vale Tudo. Now, I'm gonna start training on that gym I think. However, I'm curious what Vale Tudo is? I've heard the name, but I never really figured out of it. Is it effective in self defense as well?

 

Thanks. :)

Shootfighting as well.

Uhhh...I wouldn't compare anything to Tekken for a style analysis. Wait to see the classes the gym appears to be teaching a lot of different styles, I would see who is teaching these styles.

Vale Tudo is Portuguesemeans anything goes. Striking & grappling.

 

It is not a "style" of martial arts, but a method of fighting. The early UFC's where Vale Tudo, not rounds, no time limits, no rules.

 

Now most Vale Tudo competition has turned into what is called Mixed Martial arts to keep it legal and make the boxing commisions happy.

Go to sherdog.com and download Vanderlei Silva's HL vid. He is a Vale Tudo Fighter.

 

Vale Tudo, MMA and Shooto (Shootfighting) are all very similar. In my opinion they are the closest organized training styles to Bruce Lee's Jeet Kun Do philosphy as I have heard of.
