Vale Tudo

Vale Tudo is the original Brazilian no-holds-barred fighting style. ABQ BJJ teaches this style of stand-up fighting. The goal of this class is to teach the students to adapt to all ranges of fighting and incorporate punching, kicking, elbow strikes, knee strikes, takedowns and grappling techniques. Once again, there are several drills we have developed for the student to achieve proficiency. The class is ended with a period of supervised sparring.

William Carpenter is certainly qualified to instruct this style of kickboxing mixed with grappling having had a black belt under Team USA Kickboxing Coach Bill Packer since 1988.

It is a requirement of this class that you have ABQ BJJ approved protective gear. Gear is available in our pro shop or from a variety of dealers.
