Universidade da Luta - (or just "UDL") - translated in English to "University of Fighting" - is a team of Brazilian martial arts created by the fighters Mauricio Rua, Andre Amade, Mauricio Veio and Murilo Rua after their departure from the Chute Boxe Academy Team, in 2008. [ [http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=5561 Shogun & Teammates Readying New Camp (MMAWeekly)] ] . The team’s headquarters is located in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. UDL was created in partnership with manager Ercílio Slaviero Neto. The academy offers classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, Judo, Muay Thai and wrestling. Furthermore, the academy opens its facilities for professional athletes, who are looking for chances in national and international events. The team already has athletes participating in events like UFC, DREAM and Elite XC, as well as new talents like Marcelo Brito, Thiago Minu, Fernandinho Vieira among others. More recently, Wanderlei Silva has joined the UDL. While he does not train there full-time, he is training there whenever he is back in Brazil.

Founding and Opening

The UDL was founded by brothers Mauricio Rua and Murilo Rua after their departure from Chute Boxe Academy. Their original intentions were to open the UDL in Massachusetts. However, it was eventually decided that it would open in the Rua brothers' hometown of Curitiba, Brazil. During the later stages of preparation the brothers Andre Amade and Mauricio Veio were invited to share ownership which they accepted and converted their gym in Toronto,Canada to a UDL gym. The gym was opened and the first day consisted of an open class, open to the public as well as the press.
