capoeira fight scene in the movie death trance

[TristanGTR]

Too bad the rest of the movie was trash...

[ChipDail7]

capoeira win

[tukalor]

Stop all this dirty talk and speak with some control and intelligence. There does not have to be a f**k here and a f**k yourself just calm down and express what you want to say trust me it is more effective this way (correction)

[Tiwaking]

Well it looks like that guy

*Puts on Glasses*

Was taken for a spin

YEEEEEEEEaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[Humanoids]

nice choreography, but way too many useless showboating movements.

[Namriu94]

@Humanoids words of a karate noob

[Humanoids]

@Namriu94 words of a judgemental dick/hater, who gets butthurt the moment someone remotely questions capoeira, because capoeira is the best martial art ever and clearly well represented in this vid with all the handspins. go read up on Capoeira Regional if you didn't get the point

[Namriu94]

@Humanoids no i don't believe its the greatest martial art ( on account that most attacks need you to be motion to preform at there fullest) , its just the most peoples who practice karate like styles tend to believe that any movement that isn't clear in its purpose ,acrobatic, or just looks a little excessive is showing off and isn't really useful. what defines a "useful " attack , one with out skill ?!

[Humanoids]

@Humanoids oh, for fuck sakes the one retard there is doing handspins while the other two are fighting and it is disadvantageous, because most of the moves in capoeira are not suitable for actual combat, those are elements of dance and acrobatics which is closer to modern capoeira. a "useful" attack is an effective attack without you leaving too much openings. I don't practise karate and I do love capoeira, but I am being realistic.

[hartstyler]

those guys would've been so dead irl

[SabahAlev]

what movie is this..

[ThePauseMenu]

@SabahAlev Death Trance

Good film

[SytheClaw]

i just attached blades 2 my shoes for capoeira they r awsome man i wana see this movie/and for the history debate yes started in angola as N'golo thats the original style then when the slaves where taken 2 brazil it evolved in2 capoeira then when the brazilians took it 2 north america the kids developed it in2 break dancing =)

[pavelnedyalkov]

I think both of them are break dancing.

[shizbe1]

Man what i love about capoeira is that it has really strong kicks goddamit

[MarcielTribuzy]

hahahaa nada haver com capoeira seu rteoxa

[Ojokernegro]

People try so hard to turn capoeira into the most controversial martial art, when in fact it's very simple. African slaves from many tribes practiced their own martial arts, when the portuguese shipped part of those slaves to Brazil those slaves decided to continue training to fight against the oppressors, but, because they would be seen as rebels otherwise, they incorporated their techniques in a dance...thus capoeira was born. Doesn't get any simpler. 1st guy in the vid's breakdancing though.

[memyself2k]

@Ojokernegro You are 100 percent right. People still have to know that it is an African art and not a Brazilian art because the mainstream keeps calling it "Brazilian".

[seucoelho]

@memyself2k he is right actually, i'm brazilian and studied history... capoeira was created in brazil by mixing the african style of fight with dance moves so that the slave's masters wouldn't know they were practicing a martial art.

[nichlasz]

1:01 is the stupidest part lol....how can u have a fight going in circles with no one hitting each other for a few seconds lmfao

[AkageNoDonna]

I love this movie!

[scorpiogtx]

whats the song in the background

[petarvavrin]

break dance started from capoeira and you dont need ginga dumbass becaose in real life fight you will do de ginga no you will hit him whit a marteloor abensao some times whit an armada so you go fuck your self

[Xetarcoss]

@petarvavrin true when you are in a fight you are not doing capoeira, you are fighting

[xTHCxvoornx]

@petarvavrin

U mean; Martelo, Bencão or Armada.

Don't know about armada... But you would really want to use mea lua de compasso.

Axé

[kahetel13]

@petarvavrin i think its humorous how people have the balls to say break dance started from Capoeira; sorry that your ego is so big to imagine that a person like me who did grow up in NY, observing the beginnings of break dance (NY was one of the places break dance was indeed born) can tell you, nope it did not come from Caoeira . oh it was embellished with martial arts later, but no, it did not .

[larwil98]

finaly people that can actually name the movess instead of saying "hey look at that awesome spinny kick thingy"

[SytheClaw]

yup capoeira is devrived from n'golo

[NoPixelz]

Damn epic mooves... too bad a real capoerista wouldnt do that kind of stuff in a street fight XD...

[eaocapoeira]

the best capoeira fight

[TheKoolkrow]

What is the little girl for

[jawz117]

whats the name of the song?

[Sarul666]

this guy is good

Salve Capoeira dudes!

[chbedok]

the two sword ladies were a tad retarded in my opinion

[Haklung]

Plus that fighter is not only Capoeira but also that Japanese sport martial art. Its a mix of acrobatics and numerous martial arts. The blade feet comes from Capoeira.

[Haklung]

Even Brazilians say Capoeira came from Africa. Why do you think its called Capoeira Angola till this day. Look at the Brazilian movie Beetle. Why do people have such a big problem with it being from Africa. Capoeira is a combination of West African martial arts. If you go to West Africa and ask about African martial arts they won't know what the hell you are talking about. But if you say Warrior Arts then you will be shown numerous arts that look very similar to Capoeira.

[larwil98]

capoeria came from african slaves in brazil not africa in itself

[chross1984]

the main capoeirista looks like a mestre. i cant remeber his name though.

[blueplague888]

'Death Trance'.

[ShinRyojin]

at 0:08, how do you do that mea lu de compasso into a windmill?

[narutogu]

omg guys the first guys is using breakdncing remmber this movie takes place in a alt present time

[BarraVentoCDOUK]

what are you on?

[narutogu]

wat u mean wat m i on it true watch da whole movie u learn its actually japan but after some big disaster

[larwil98]

apparently space crack

[davidonspecialk]

that girl was hella creepy and un expected!

[torakell]

aint capoiera cose it dont use the ginga or roda

[epics7]

Actually, if you look at it closely, there was a some short Jinga but for only a few seconds.

[BarraVentoCDOUK]

rubbish, it's capoeira. whether played in a roda or not.

[Dunam]

clearly. Quede de rhins and macacu's.... clearly capoeira.

[torakell]

oh go fuck yourself i studied dance at uni and u do need a ginga

[888167]

only the beginners need ginga to get to the rythm. if you are in a real fight you don't have music --> no ginga needed

[larwil98]

horse feathers

[DeadDestroyer]

So realistic- For sure while fight you will try to make meia lua reversao,maqaquinho au de costa...Such a shame.

[arcnglrafael]

capoeira and break dancing cam from africans so basically is the same

[narutogu]

capoeira came from brazil (*_*)

[arcnglrafael]

afro brazilians, I practice it

[Sobekkha]

narutogu,

.lol. so the fact that millions of black Africans were shipped to Brazil never happened?.lol. I don't mean to be patronising, but its obvious capoeira originates from Africans and from African martial arts. There for its predecessors were African and not Brazilian.

[narutogu]

my baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad this takes place in japan hahaha i got my facts wrong sorry haha

[narutogu]

yo someone explain how could've capoeira reached china that early cause that kinda looks like monkey kng-fu from my sight of view

[epics7]

That's Japan. And the time could be right seeing that Brazil has the largest Japanese population next to Japan. This is how the Gracie father learned Ju Jitsu. But I agree, Monkey Fu and some of Capoeira look similar. I've been saying that for some time now. The ground moves and some of the kicks are similar.

[athaocity]

hhahaha this movie has not came out in english yet!

and by then i already stolen their moves

MUAHAHAH

im such a dick

[iscay666]

yeah if you by the dvd it has english dubbed and english subbed

[athaocity]

im pretty sure its not found at any regular BLOCKBUSTER right?

[iscay666]

I got mine from blockbuster in australia

[cachoho]

1 guy is doing capoeira, the other guy is break dancing

[kidcreamm]

word up son

[samuraishinobi]

Honestly it was more of breakdancing then Capoeria. If you watch a video of breakdancing and compare it with this, then you can see that the moves a identical. Cool movie too. Hopefully there's a sequel.

[Dashblades]

However, if you watch a video of Capoiera, you'll see that it was actually Capoiera =).

Capoiera>Breakdancing =D

[larwil98]

the movements for breakdancing are in fact heavily influenced by capoera if u went down town to river street in savannah almost any weekend u will see break dancers and capoeristas side by side

[turusan02]

too bad they also mixed in some break dancing but the capoeira moves were cool:)

[1pk1]

yeeeeeee wow I never noticed that they were using capoeira . wow cool.One guy even had the blades like they used to have in Brazil!

[superiorsantateresa]

Cool.

[ygs2sup]

verrrrrrrrrrrrry cool video, the got madd skills

[direngreydragonfly]

hey I hear the IIID Empire from dir en grey in the background !!

[youskxxx]

awesome capoeira i have ever seen.........if some body knows or seen more clips like this plzzzz... tell me

[Pujc]

I make capoeira (acrobatik and kicks and all ) 5 jear , but here I just see the same... How can I see real fight with Capoeira style? If enyone giwe me  a tipp THX!

[similisan]

Try to look for capoeira in MMA.. but the best capoeira you'll find in friendly rodas, i think ;)

peace

[BlackstarSirius]

Do a Youtube search for fighters "Jean Silva" and "Mestre Hulk"

There are too many good Mestre Hulk videos on youtube, but if you Google him, you can find some cool fights.

[athaocity]

im going to steal their moves!

HEHEHHE

*evil laugh*

[pkziya]

wich kind of movie is that????

[lionclaw77]

actually it is capoeira because the credits credit him as being the capoeira user or fighter. i own the movie.

[lousyacrobat1]

Guys, relax. Obviously to the trained eye there are break dancing movements and there are capoeira movements used in the choreography, and a couple of different guys doing them. Its just a movie, and a fantasy movie at that. In the movies you can make people fight in whatever way you want to. So what's all the fuss about, really? :)

[varkonyimihaly]

This break dance has got nothing to do with Capoeira.

[Rintar]

i think it is a capoeirist doing the movments but it could also be monkey kungfoo their is a capoeria mokey kung foo fight on hear it could be eiter just missing a few bits to make it better for the movie

[Dejango01]

hey just because the guy doesn't use the ginga doesn't mean its not capoeira, some times the ginga messes the fight up for you.

[Unjesue]

true, angoleros don't ginga at all.

[Sobekkha]

Actually Capoeira Angola has a ginga regardless of how it varies between people and style. Remember that the ginga is sometimes so small its only a single step or hop, but its still a ginga.

Please do some research into its history before stating misleading facts.

Also I know its a wild shot, but try and look at Capoeira Angola as it is with its Africanity intact. Because what many people see in Capoeira Regional and Contemporary today are only seeing 1 side of the coin, not Its African roots.

[larwil98]

yes they do

[Unjesue]

@larwil98 Yup forgot that jinga meant sway for a bit... It's not always the stand-up jinga most see in Regional but it's a jinga non the less. ty for reminding me :)

[clevis9155]

sorry, I meant the first guy is breakdancing, not doing capoeira. also, I know its a movie but I believe, like haccoon said "no ginga, no capoeira"

[Jelchic]

well then you should check some videos made by lateef crowder..he is high level capoeirista, but when he is fighting(with a person wich isnt capoeirista) he never uses ginga..

[clevis9155]

Your right.

[SolidCobra43]

no the ginga is actually the movement in the capoeria. its the start out basis for it. and lateef uses it when he is serious. sometimes he wont uses it to show off. and actually i've meet him along with the zero gravity stuntteam over him in new york and yes he uses the ginga most of the time. it is the start out rythem to the movement of which instrement is used.

[Jelchic]

i know what ginga is because i´m capoeirista, i´m only saying that i haven´t seen him doing ginga in the fight..maybe 3 or 4 times..his fights would look much better if he would be doing more ginga and less acrobatics..

[SolidCobra43]

oh man you are a copoeirista too. dude it's nice to talk to a person with experince. i wish i can do that art man. but im a big guy.

[KayNyne13]

hey there's a guy in my capoeira class that weights 320 lbs,his nickname is Montagna..of course he has a muthafuckin' hard time doing handstand exercises and can't do acrobatics..but still, he's pretty darn flexible and he follows up the normal class like everybody else, please,please,please..at least give it a try, your missing a life-changing experience if you don't. Go on, you have nothing 2 lose!

[SolidCobra43]

ok then i want to do it, not try it. man oh man i will love this art. i know a guy who is a mestre and he is willing to teach me. thanx for the modivation kaynyne13. but im only am 280 pounds so i will do it.

[KayNyne13]

yeah, I swear 2 Jah you won't regret it! I Wish you good success my friend, Peace!

[Jelchic]

kaynyne13 is right..in my capoeira class is also a guy hwo is huge..but he workes hard and he is also going to get corda on batizado..but he is 40 years old, and you are 18...there is no rule in capoeira how should you look like but how strog you want to know this beautiful art..sorry 4 my english, i think that you got the point what i wanted to say..

[larwil98]

we had a guy in our class that was at least 250 to 300 pounds and legaly deaf

[clevis9155]

not capoeira

[Jelchic]

can you explain me why this isnt capoeira?that guy with knives on his legs is definitely capoeirista..im capoeirista too so i can recognize the moves..if you have better explanation please tell me, id be happy to hear it..axe capoeira..

[varkonyimihaly]

Of course theese were capoeira moves, I recognized it too, but a true capoeirista never uses the useless moves in real fight.

[nakarama]

O yes they do, thats called malandrage. (Err i can;t remember how to spel it). You can do a useles move to lead the other into a other direction and that surprise him from the other. And that my friend is capoeira

[varkonyimihaly]

No, If you can mislead someone with a move, then it's not useless. I know what is Capoeira. And I know that misleading Is a very great thing in it, but I didn't mean that. You misunderstood me. I meant religio and macaco. They are for show not to fight with them. While you are doing a religio, you are an easy target. But don't wory I know what is Capoeira and I know what are the moves whitch wasn't made for fighting, and witch was made for it. Religio isn't a misleading move. (But finta is.)

[nakarama]

oke maybe i misunderstood. But macaco isn't a 'show-move'. We learn to realy aim you macaco and if someone is behind you and you are on floor its a great move. I'm not shure what a 'religio'is. Some kind of salto mortale?

Ow and just for the comments about breakdance/capoeira: breakdance is based on tapdance hiphop and a lot of(!) capoeira. So it doesn't has got nothing do do with it.

[varkonyimihaly]

Yes you can use Macaco, Salto, Au Sem Mao in fights, but only in special cases. But its better to not use Macaco In real fight, becouse your opponent can step on your stomach. Rather Gato. In the roda I like to jump on my opponents head with and acrobaticas, thats fun.

Religio is also known as Clock. You put down your elbow to your stomach,and your spinning on it. Thats very difficoult.I meant with it has nothing to do with it,that Capoeira in fight isnt look like break dancing as much as this.

[Jelchic]

stupid movie..and what about that b-boy?i dont believe..the guy was using breakdance in the fight, so stupid..capoeirista was good though..i liked when he did meia lua de compasso with knives..great move...

[ninjax666]

i agree with jelchic, the movie was stupid, as i said before i have seen lots of japanese films, but death trance, has to be one of the worst j-films, sadly a lot of otakus think is the shit xD.

[ninjax666]

this movie was bad, it was totally bad, the figthing scenes were aweful, the only thing that got my attention a little bit was the clothing, but other than that the whole movie was aweful, the script, the fighting scenes, the characters, the plot. i've seen many japanese films, and the only one that is kind of good, is death note, japan doesnt know how to make movies. sadly, they have the potential, they just dont know how to use it.

[tomrichugpeltho]

Have you even heard of Akira Kurosawa?!?

[haccoon]

no ginga,no capoeira

[troydoney]

...wow. What's the name of this movie?

[capoeira2brazil]

Omg i can't stop watching this video cuz of the awesome moves.

[jaybullen]

haha, funny video. It looks quite good.

[michael909639]

capoeira is a good fighting style in my opinon cuz it keep's u guseing

[landerg6]

This some power ranger bullshit how the hell did he beat him when the capoeira guy was obviously whoopin his ass.

[PARREZ]

capo guy was kickin his ass, then all

of a sudden china man gets athought , hate movies like thid,like tony jaa too

[xeNNariO]

whatever you guys say..this is kool!

[emmayarde]

that movie is sooooo awesome :O... cant wait to see the second

[capoeira2brazil]

God this capoeirista is awesome :O

[Negretitude]

that is capoeira.. i can do those movements... thats not breakdance... i mean he did macaco like 50 times, and Meia LUA! DU! capoeira... im a capoerista trust me thats capoeira... btw. capoeristas can do windmill too... its easy as heck..

[fcostta]

boa explicação... sinceramente, espero que alguem te entenda...

[Gexad]

I'm glad there are other people that can tell the difference. ^_^

[Spawn223311]

to me every fight with dancing stuff is capoeira, but it would be cool mixing capoeira with breakdancing!

[autonome]

I think this is not capoeira, its a Martial Art called monkey fight...

[capoeira2brazil]

This Maritla art called STFU - Do you even know capoeira moves??

[kakanansadalan]

the kid is cute

[KHATTABS]

can someone upload this full movie please seems good... thanks

[daoshaovaj]

this movie sucks.

[danilothf]

There's no Capoeira here...

where are the movements???

I saw a break dance against stupid freaks...

Capoeira???

NEVER WILL BE!!!!!!!!!!!

NUNCA SERÃO, NUNCA!!!

[Dejango01]

yeah i agree this is an awsome capoeira scene and it did catch my eye ,i thought it was breakdancin in the beginning but then when it went on i noticed some capoeira in there. although i don't really get the story line in this movie.

[BlackstarSirius]

Coolest Capoeira movie fight scene I've seen since The Protector. The fighter has a very interesting style.

[brassbando]

Sorry, this junk has nothing to do with capoeira...

[lustatifer]

breakdance originate from capoeira so it doesnt matter what it looks like. it is just capoeira that has lost his flow.

[moksyb]

at first it looked like break dancin'. but it was ok.

[malandr0bem]

the crab (ROFLMAO)

Don't confuse capoeira with breakdancin'!

There was hardly any capoeira in this.

[MRWrong491]

I did'nt confuse break dancing with capoeira I've been doing capoeira almost three years and I saw he was doing break dancing moves at the begining but as I watched I saw some capoeira in it

[malandr0bem]

I think you miss understood my comment brother! I was agreeing with you and laughing at the name of the move you described! I have been practicing almost 12 years and I consider you, and every other capoeirista part of my extended family.

[steeloavenger]

yeah only one guy was using capoeira... he nice style... i gotta watch the rest of this movie though it looks really nice

[boomdia]

i only saw one villain that was using capoeira moves. the other guy was just breakdancing like an idiot, doing the "crab" (the spinning thing on the ground). the "crab" is not a capoeira move.

[MRWrong491]

I was'nt focusing on the first guy the second guy was the one I saw doing the capoeira moves that caught my attention I just liked how he stopped him with the sword while he was doing the windmill and ends in queda de rins (but in the first guys defense he did use role and another basic move but I can't remember the name of it

[Whitevitez]

look good

[Whitevitez]

this movie is new?

[AnthonyBlakemore]

Came out last Fall. It's so-so, but still worth a look. Wish there was more capoeira in it.
