I've been learning Muay Thai , solely to get better conditioning and to learn the art.

I don't think I'll ever be interested in the competing side of it ( although I fully take my hat off to those to who are.

With the above in connection to Vale Tudo.....

I was just wondering if you could learn the art of Vale Tudo , with out the compulsion of ( once good enough of course ) entering into competitions , matches etc etc

Thanks in advance.

I think you misunderstand.

Vale Tudo is not an art, it's a style of no-rules competition that means literally "Anything Goes" in Portuguese. It's not an art, just a (lack of) rule set for open competition where you bring whatever you got into it.

What he said...

Basically, it's a competition. Now, there may be some places that specialize in training someone for the Vale Tudo, but it still doesn't change the fact that Vale Tudo isn't an official art.
