The Chute Boxe Academy (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈʃutʃi ˈbɔksi]; "Kick-Boxing") is a Brazilian martial arts academy. It opened as a Muay Thai academy in 1978 in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Head trainer Rudimar Fedrigo later expanded the program in 1991 to include other aspects of modern mixed martial arts, such as wrestling and submission grappling. By 1995, the Chute Boxe team was considered a prime training ground for Vale Tudo fighters. In the 2000s, Chute Boxe expanded through affiliated academies in Brazil and internationally; in 2004, an American branch, Chute Boxe USA, was established in Los Angeles, California. As several prominent fighters and coaches departed in the late 2000s, Chute Boxe underwent a period of fragmentation, with former members establishing or joining independent academies while retaining elements of the Chute Boxe training philosophy and lineage. In São Paulo, coach Diego Lima estabilished the city's Chute Boxe branch, which became known as Chute Boxe Diego Lima and developed into one of the most prominent modern academies associated with the Chute Boxe lineage. The academy became a major training ground for professional mixed martial artists, continuing the Chute Boxe tradition to a new generation. Chute Boxe fighters are characterized by being extremely aggressive and physical, well-rounded fighters.
