Vale tudo (Portuguese for anything goes) describes competitions in unarmed combat having minimal rules,[1] especially up until the modern day mixed martial arts competitions. It is sometimes also considered a combat sport[2] and style of fighting[3] in itself. The term vale tudo comes from the name of a television show that aired in Brazil starting in the 1960's. The show was a telecast of style-versus-style fights hosted by Hélio Gracie, which later changed into a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament followed by the victor fighting an invited opponent of another style in a vale tudo bout.[4] Vale Tudo is also the name of a 2006 feature movie by director Alexander Pickl. Produced by Oliver Jahr and Gabor Harrach it tells the stories of underground fighters in Miami.
