ANYTHING GOES / VALE TUDO 1995 VIDEO

This rare video footage of a 1995 Vale Tudo/No-Holds-Barred tournament from Japan is now available to download here. If you like old-school, simple, bare-bones submission fighing, you'll really enjoy these fights.

If you like rough matches with simple, straightforward submission wrestling and striking, you'll really eat this up. These fights took place in the pioneer days of MMA, UFC and the explosion of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Rules and regulations were still vague--groin shots, illegal moves, and dirty tactics were the norm. Watch the entire video HERE.

Groin shots were the norm.

Kicked in the face.
