CAPOEIRA BRASIL !

[MrPredatorix]

Wow , you are really really good. Erm , I wondered if you could make a tutorial on how to do a meia lua walkover ( meia lua reversao ). I can't seem to find a good tutorial for it anywhere.

[looope420]

Hello, first I wanted to congratulate you for the videos are incredible, and I wanted to ask I train Monday and Thursday. I do push-ups,handstand push-ups,dips and chin-ups. I can train handstand every day or how often would have to practice. Thanks

Greetings from Argentina

[mikeweezy27]

where do you start when trying to train like this?

[KettlebellGym]

@mikeweezy27 the book "Building the Gymnastic Body" by coach Sommer is a good place to start :-)

[LiveCapoeira]

You've got incredible strength and control! We've added this video to our capoeira videos section. Check yourself out! LiveCapoeira[dot]com

[KristyGordon]

Woah, I want to be able to do that! That looks so fun and amazing! Eeee!

[Raper1531]

Impossible

[magdalenesmirth]

You are beauty and power in motion. Thank you for sharing.

[3runMX]

@portaIdo that's a really nice straddle planche at 1:24 and with fingers pointing to the front!!! I have a question: do you have a flexibility or rehab routine for wrists, or how did you train your planche with fingers pointing to the front without hurting your wrists? (I've tried it but my wrists hurt too much)

Thanks a lot for all the amazing videos!

[ZebbMassiv]

that would take about 3 bottles of rum and endless amount of spinal chord medication to even attempt that and i'm in pretty good shape its just the courage and discipline thats holding me back

[m1xe7]

like capoeira :) it's true amazing +100500

[missybeez]

seatleworksout:HI.I've been working with Mr. portal's locomotion and conditioning exercise as a newb,and would like to say that you will notice the difference in many aspects:strenght,agility,fluid­ity,looseness and many others,but just wnat to say..staywithit.noregretsfromt­henewb

[wondercat5]

[SeattleWorksOut]

I wish i had this much control & strength! talk about motivation!

[felixsavvy13]

What is your style of Capoeia? Angola or Regional? I bet you are Angola. Nice moves

[Gokulsan]

Bboy!

[dying2l]

who is the guy in the green and blue poster?

[Krokodilizm]

Great capoeirista. I gotta ask though: Do you need special muscle groups to do handstands etc or is it weight issues? How do you train for this kind of flexibility?

[thekznwrxspk]

Press pause, play, then hold down 6 :]

[malik87breaker]

I really liked the portrait of Bruce Lee.....

[Nidoslin]

Awesome stuff bro, loved it! True inspiration! :))

[snwbrdkd92]

I recognize bruce lee... but who are the other two picture on the wall in green and blue

[mmug2]

I'm probably the 189,775th person to say this: HOLY...SH!T !!!

[FenrilZeji]

dude can u give me some tips for floreiros and static positions?

[THEBODYPRACTICE]

Two years later...this is the video that changed my life of training-forever. This led to a workshop, which led to a complete change in training (physically, and psychologically). Ido, you are the BEST in what you do- the marriage of strength and dynamic organic movement has never been so beautifully displayed as in this clip- still inspires, still motivates...now, after all this time the appreciation of the technical elements flow together with true understanding- Abundant Respects, Atlas

[portaldo]

@THEBODYPRACTICE Brother! Indeed, this clip has changed my life as well. It is in the heart of my journey and has started it all. Thankfully, along the way, I have found many new friends from which I had the pleasure to share some of the small body of knowledge I was lucky to accumulate over the years. People like you - from which I learn as well as I teach for I am a student first and a teacher second. "Sou disciplo que aprendo, Sou mestre que dou lição". Thank you for your kindness!

[MrRussianterror]

@THEBODYPRACTICE get out his ass faggot this is shit compared to other people i know fuck this isreali scum i hope 5the palastines get you.

Thank you

[bemtikru]

sick shit

[Munrovv]

you are strong as hell, but is that a one handed planche or are you stabbing?

[cacaman17]

wow thats some excellent capoeira sir!!

[micikas]

Oh wow, this looks so cool. First time I see such a thing.

What is this? Where do I learn more about it?

[cacaman17]

@micikas this is called capoeira there are two main styles, angola which is usually lower to the ground and slower paced, and regional which is more faster and more on your feet and a little more formal. this here is most likely angola

[micikas]

@cacaman17 Thanks. I looked around and it seems like it's primarily a martial arts?

[cacaman17]

@micikas yeah its a really good martial art thats disguised as dance the history of it is amazing, basically slaves from africa were brought to brazil to work and in order to hide their martial art they hid it in a dance to prevent from being discovered, but it is a really deadly martial art once u get to a certain point but yeah theres alot to learn!!

[micikas]

@cacaman17 Hey man, thanks for your initial reply!! I ended up signing up for my local capoeira club and am loving it and wondering where it was years ago :) If you hadn't answered I wouldn't have been introduced to it.

[NewBridger1]

ESSE CARA NAO E HUMANO o.0

[ProjectKrisz]

[xango1978]

Ouaouh, thanks for this great vidéo. Your self dominance it's incredible, very smooth and also difficult. Only to stop when you're going down after the bananeira is for me an unbelievable movement. I'm trying to do, but I always fall :0D

Une belle vidéo source de beaucoup d'études pour ma part! Merci encore!

[mossadon]

totally reminds me of parts of my routine in my youth as break dancer. I've yet to read/ hear from the horses mouth of the breakers from back in the day IF they took moves from capoeira.

Great form and control, brother...if I was 20 years younger i could give you a run fer ya money though! heh heh.

I am now inspired to get fit again after being reminded of the shapes i used to be able to make.

*places right fist on open left palm and bows*

[AvEryBadApPLe]
