The Chute Boxe Team promises to impress the UFC

 

If youre a long time MMA fan, you probably know the Chute Boxe Academy, one of the first big MMA teams who “produced” great Brazilian MMA Champions such as Wanderlei Silva, Anderson Silva and Shogun Rua. Known for an exciting, brawling style complete with lethal knees and leaping kicks, the Chute Boxe fighters “ruled” MMA when it came to striking, specially during the Pride FC dynasty. Since the “fall” of Pride and the proliferation of MMA, many fighters began to form theire own teams and establish theire own gyms and academies. Many fighters left Shute Boxe and the academy name was forgotten from the MMA picture.
