Ralek Gracie, the nephew of MMA legends Royce & Rickson Gracie, announces a new international fighting organization named Genzai Freestyle Fighting. Genzai will be an open weight Grand Prix, with freestyle fighting rules inspired by Vale Tudo. According to Genzai, its mission is to be an authentic, and connected-to-the-roots of martial arts.
Genzai says it is “inspired by the living history that is martial arts and motivated to bring reverence to the whole genre.”

The Rules
The international promotion Genzai will utilize ‘Freestyle Fighting Rules.’ This ruleset meant to be a dedication to the “Golden Age” of combat sports. Remembering the rules of Vale Tudo (translates to “anything goes”) of Brazil and the rules of PRIDE Fighting Championship of Japan; Genzai says, “only a “few-holds-barred.”
Instead of doing multiple rounds, Genzai will have a single 30 minute round. This is meant to allow each athlete competing in Genzai Freestyle Fighting to have a level playing field, regardless of grappling or striking style, and regardless of weight.
