Now correct me if i’m wrong from what I understand VALE TUDO is a mix between Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Now I live in the Los Angeles area and I would like to know if anyone knows of a school or academy where VALE TUDO taught. Thank You.
Vale tudo is not a martial art, or a fighting style. It’s a mma fight competition in brazil. Vale tudo in portuguese means anything goes, so the rules are even more flexible than those of pride fighting (they fight bareknuckle, they allow headbutts, strikes to downed opponents, groin strikes) literally ANYTHING goes. This type of tournament is what Wanderlei Silva has fought for years, that’s why he is so dominant (with the exception of his last 2 losses to 2 AWESOME fighters), I haven’t seen a school that teaches Vale Tudo type of mma fighting, but a good mma school would be very close, specially if they have brazilian instructors (they would definetely know about vale tudo)
Correct me if I’m wrong VALE TUDO is a mix of these martial arts?

Vale Tudo just means "anything goes" in Portugese. In Brazil, a vale tudo tournament is basically the same as an MMA tournament here, although in Brazil, they usually allow head-butting, groin strikes, and things that are not allowed in North American MMA competition.

Vale Tudo simply translates as anything goes. In the early days of competition in Brazil it was simply competition between styles with no rules (much like the early UFC’s). Today if you want to refer to it as a style, it can be a mix of BJJ, judo, sambo, wrestling, catch-as-catch can, boxing, muay thai as well as other less "effective" styles. But the most honest and direct answer is Vale Tudo is not a style but a no-rules (or limited rules) competition.
