The Chute Boxe Academy (Portuguese pronunciation: [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.[1] In 2004, an American branch, Chute Boxe USA, was established in Los Angeles, California.

Chute Boxe fighters are characterized by being extremely aggressive and physical, well-rounded fighters.[2]
