A Luta nasceu em cada lugar onde o homem apareceu. E junto com ele se desenvolveu. Ela nasce “livre” como diz o próprio nome sem adereços ou complementos, em consonância com a própria natureza. O homem sempre lutou, e continuará lutando até o fim dos séculos.
”A Luta Livre nestes últimos 10 anos cresceu em técnica, reduzindo o impacto da força e condicionamento físico, conseqüentemente aumentando o seu refinamento, exatamente no sentido contrário do que aconteceu com outras modalidades, especialmente praticada com kimono.”
o Brasil se tornou uma força na Luta Mundial, embora até hoje sem a organização que se faria necessário. Japão e Estados Unidos, caminharam juntos também, sem entretanto atingir o nível do Brasil. Um dos fatores que mais alavancaram a Luta, foi o ressurgimento do “Vale Tudo” (“No Holds Barred” ou “Mixed Martial Arts”) com diversos eventos importantes no Brasil, Estados Unidos e Japão.

Like so many Kung Fu disciplines, Wing Chun is a very old fighting system, shrouded in secrecy and passed on to only a select few. It was virtually unknown in the west until the 1960s, when Yip Man - the legendary teacher of Bruce Lee - revealed it to the public. Grandmaster Yip Man - who has been deemed one of the most influential Martial Artists of the 20th century by Inside Kung Fu magazine - had other renowned students, including his eldest son Yip Chun. This is the heritage of Sifu Yip Pui (Terence), Yip Chun's most senior student teaching in the United States. Yip Pui Martial Arts Center in New York City offers an opportunity to study uncompromised Kung Fu as it has been passed from Master to son to senior student.

Em março de 1982, sob a coordenação do Prof. Diônio Roque Kotz, a Academia Mudança surgiu, baseada na sua atividade principal, a dança, e oferecendo também a ginástica como sua modalidade opcional. Mais tarde, seguindo a filosofia de sempre acompanhar o mercado com qualidade, incluiu a musculação, que foi seguida por outras modalidades de acordo com o crescimento da academia. O Troféu Mudança foi idealizado com o objetivo de premiar o melhor aluno do ano através de eleição direta dos alunos e professores. O prêmio consiste em uma escultura do logotipo da ACADEMIA MUDANÇA criada, especialmente para esta finalidade, pelo artista plástico SILVIO SHEUCA. Teve início em 1993. Nos dois primeiros anos foi escolhido apenas um aluno para receber a estatueta. A partir de 1995 esse conceito evoluiu resultando em um premiado dentro de cada modalidade. Já no segundo ano foi instituído um Troféu Especial com o propósito de enaltecer o espírito jovem das pessoas que acreditam e apostam na qualidade de vida através do exercício físico regular, estando na maturidade. Sendo a única Academia que realiza tal evento anualmente, o faz não apenas para manifestar sua satisfação em promover a saúde e o bem estar das pessoas através da conscientização, mas para confraternizar, com todos os alunos e amigos, numa festa de final de ano.
