A side note from Debi Purcell :
Vale Tudo means NO rules. Which translates that we have no limit’s to bind our body or our knowledge in learning. The message is clear, and that is to pass on what we learn to others. Not only in the fighting martial art sense, but in taking pride in oneself, being humble, loyal, strong, respecting yourself, but mostly respecting others. Having no limits. Has allowed me great freedoms in my martial arts and in my spirituality, and has helped me realize that we are only bound but what we allow ourselves to be bound by.
In a world where it is hard for women to flourish in Martial Arts , I have had trainers and friends not discriminate against me but have always thought it was great that I and other women want to compete and fight. I have been encouraged to seek out different kinds of training and different training partners to further along my progress. And I thank you all who have participated in helping me be the person and fighter I am today.
