Basic Capoeira Moves: Brazilian Martial Arts : How to Ponte in Brazilian Capoeira Martial Arts

[prettypianoplayer100]

anyone know anything I can do to strengthen my back? I can't do this, because my back is kind of weak-muscled. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

[DaFluxHawk]

@prettypianoplayer100 dude,just do some abs exercises :)

[cuteus51]

this looks a lot like flipping the dog in Yoga

[cuteus51]

what is wrong with "free" classes here, be it Yoga, or whatever is that you do not have the benefit of an instructor spotting you and advising you what you are doing wrong to prevent injuries to soft tissues or joints! Is not all about money saving. It cost you more if you have to go to PT because of injuries. If you already have the benefit of classes with an instructor and want to complement, then these videos should be ok. I already know of one person going to therapy due to this video.

Thanks for the vid

[hcarvalhoalves]

Where's the roda? Where's the berimbau?

I'm sorry but fly to Brazil if you want to learn Capoeira. Or try to find a school from a Brazilian teacher around your area. 90% of the videos in english in YouTube about Capoeira are pure crap. I'm sad seeing they take the culture away and distort it.

Otherwise you'll just end learning a bunch of moves, and won't understand what Capoeira is really about.

Axé from Brazil.

[Ipanima88]

que horror

[esiosan]

Capoeira practicioners are often mentioning the word Axé(pronounced Ah-Shea), this word is heavy with meanings such as "energy", "force of nature" and is equivalent to the word Chi from ancient Oriental martial arts. Likewise, it has religious elements to it rooted in the African tribal doctrines, such as Candomblé and Quimbanda brought to Brazil by the slaves in the 1500s.Axé can be "felt" by practicing Capoeira, chanting its mantras, & furthering into a trance by the hypnotic sound of beribau.

[advogadotribuna]

Iam Brazilian and trust me, Capoeira is nothing more than a dance that the slaves used to do back in the old times of slavery. They say it was a martial art disguised as a dance so their owners couldn't punish them for practising it. I say it's bullshit. It's still just a dance, that's why you don't see Capoeira in Mixed Martial Arts competitions, because it just doesn't work. It's pure crap.

[Iwishiwerethird]

@advogadotribuna i saw a knockout with a Meia Lua de Compasso before. You can use it right and wreck shit with it.

[Vivi920326]

He is a good capoeira teacher! : )

.." am Seeing this king of game called Capoeira and i realy Like this kind of Game.. But the Problem is i Only got 1 Leg and my left Leg is artificial .. is there a Possibility That i can Perform This kind of Style?... Thnx in advance...

[jocelynwilson]

@BrendanDS188

oh for sure.. i ve seen many people with different disabilities play their own funky style.. its all about individuality,... go for it!

[moondog50002000]

@BrendanDS188 Tai Chi may be better for you. I have serious arthritis and have studied many styles before. Tai Chi is alot about shifting weight and upper body movements.

[AdoreALGERIA]

I used to do this move when i was doing break dance but now i'm uncapable to do that, can i do this again if i try!!

[FragileBitch]

Hmm nice tip. Thank you.

[xmertic]

@MikoKikoJo who cares if hes fat atleast hes putting up good vidz

[TheVerbal95]

thanks s much this is amazing =)

[Alessandrobrs]

aranhalives is completely correct, people. Capoeira is a culmination of customs from different enslaved African cultures and social influences in Brazil of the time. The game as we know it never existed in Africa until more recent times.

[xylnathien]

waht diff does it make where itfrom? not like its gonna be more effective if its from one place than it is from another _-_

[aranhalives]

sguardian your claim is completely false. there is absolutely no evidence that capoeira was practiced in africa before brazil. why is it that capoeira is all over brazil and almost nowhere in africa?  you say it was used when they were at war and also at ceremonies? wrong.

[DallasMalandros]

I don't think there should be much debate as to it's origins. Capoeira may have become "Capoeira" in Brazil, but the lineage of movement began with Africans from Angola and the Congo region. Simply calling it "Brazilian" is not only inaccurate but also does a disservice to the individuals and culture that actually created the art. Especially considering that Brazil even outlawed it for decades and punished the Africans who practiced it.

[vigdom]

the origin of capoeira is often a topic of debate, even mestre bimba and pastinha (the godfarthers of modern capoeira) had different opinions.

"Roots of the dance-fight-game by nestor capoeira is a wealth of info. on the topic

[evackmortem]

But the slaves were african.

[evackmortem]

Capoeria was started by the slaves in Brazil. Since they were not allowed to practice martial arts they disguised the art with what appeared to be a dance.

[sguardian870]

Capoeria is actually from africa. It was a form of martial arts practice by the men and women. It was used when they were at war and also at ceremonies.

[maurotupi]

@sguardian870 by what I know, capoeira regional, as we know the capoeira from brazil, is unique, cause its the only dance-fighting. the capoeira from africa (capoeira de angola) is completely different, its very slow and its only a dance, its not for fighting, ideed, we developed capoeira for fighting because of slavery. but I can be wrong, today its almost imposssible to be right about things.

[caninges]

very good!

[Barry3443]

Your name is advogado? Are u a lawyer?

[EscorpiaoDuOuro]

its a nick name, most capoeirans have one

[erlfie]

capoeiraists have nicknames, his is advogado which yes means lawyer.

[mybigcock666]

sorry, but capoeira is a joke of a fighting style. Bruce Lee himself would laugh at it. Its wasted energy and easy to counter. You all are wasting your time. Sure , its "pretty" but unless you get lucky in a street fight, youre pulp

[shota777]

Have you trained in capoeira before? I'm guessing you probably haven't..

[CatOnAHorse]

it's an art form not a defense mechanism

[coelhovsk]

Very good!

[guitar3421]

u r a graduado??!! ncc i want to reach ur lvl. i am yellow now(noob):P

[Oliiiverr]

it wasn't the strength it's just hard to keep your balance at first

[doscapoeira]

WOW I JUST DID THAT FOR THE first TIME by watching this. THANKS!

[doublexz]

i have a bad back, i tried to do bridge and i can do it for about 30 seconds, but next day my back will have killer pain, i really dont wanna mess up my back, is there anyway i can heal my back and start doing bridge again?

[mogroovee]

If you have a bad back then it's best to avoid bridge until you heal your back.

Things that can help you improve flexibility so you can get into the bridge without pain include stretching your hip flexors, stretching your upper abs, and doing myofacial release for your lats and rib cage on the foam roller.

All this is easy and if you do it daily for about 10-15 min. you will see a huge improvement pretty quickly. You may also want to consider strengthening your core with planks.

[doublexz]

my back is already healed but whenever i work out my back the next day it will kill me, i think i worked out too hard on my spine from earlier bridges and messed up my back, i can do some small workouts and strengthen my back? am afraid my back will never heal. :(

[blackdragonUK]

Hi guys, I'm not an experienced capoeirista so could someone tell me if this guy is a good example to study?

[BlueNinjaHero]

I kept laughing at his name

[ricardaomesmo]

[janitabonn]

esta dando explicaciones muy especificas de como se hace ese ejercicio

[ricardaomesmo]

obrigaduuu

[BboyKundei503]

este é um bom filme.

sempre bom para praticar o básico

[KayZukenX]

whatever all you people are weirdos, its a good basic lesson so shush haters go play WoW

[OrcWyvern]

I think capoeira is about "AXE " ( ah-SHEH), this guys is showing basic moves, this is a basic move, for people who is starting this tip is very useful.

Sorry that this guy doesn't have Tier 8 and hasn't cleared Uldar yet, but you know, this is not W.O.W , so the word "noob" has no meaning, while the hatred is unecesary, if you know about capoeira you know about the "axe" (positive energy)

[HotnessTim]

there's no such thing as "positive energy"

Learn some physics, silly fool.

[OrcWyvern]

and that makes you smart? wow... you are really dumb dude lol

Now post more "intelligent" post , I wanna laugh at you =)

[lucasmagalhaes]

lol yep

[janitabonn]

capoeira and axe, two completely differents things

[OrcWyvern]

no shit cherlot, you want a cockie?

[janitabonn]

si, pelotudo,la galletita por culo te la dan

[timetricklesdown]

fail. what were you even trying to say?

"no shit sherlock, you want a cookie?"

[OrcWyvern]

phail , what you want a kooky?

[itsallhere129]

stfu

[janitabonn]

no sabes nada sobre Brasil, ni tampoco portugues, ni espanol , solo sabes decir boludeces, seguro eres un antisocial sentado todo el dia frente a la pc

[xadvogadox]

Ta certo filho.....sei nada do Brasil. Por isso falo Portugues e voce nao meu.

[maurotupi]

strange is this video in net, since when capoira can be played like that. i thought teach capoeira like that, by video, was not allowed. Here in Bahia I'm a bit sure the capoeira mestre will not like to see nothing like that. As is said up there, capoeira is much more than moviment, is axe.

O mais estranho mesmo foi o modo como o professor ensinou os passos, parecia que tava sabendo que tava fazendo algo errado. Sei n, isso é globalização mesm. quem vai ter coragem de ser contra né???

[libra1196]

did u learn capoeira??

i want to learn it!

can u teach the theory??

[saudadespraque]

@maurotupi na verdade esse cara deveria ser proibido de dar aula, os videos dele são uma merd@!!!

[MrSchanoq]

@saudadespraque no debias ser tan negativo. En la historia de Capoeira todos eran "Camaradas" para subsistir. You are supposed to be Advogado s Camarada and support him, not argue with him. Saludos Camarada

[kepler98]

@maurotupi cara perdoe minha ignorancia, mas oq eh axe? eu sou daqui do sul e nao sei oq isso significa, fico grato pela ajuda, e pelo video tbm ja que to tentando em casa contra a parede e cai varias vezes hehehe,

[maurotupi]

@kepler98 Cara, de verdade, não quero ser chato não quando digo essas coisas, mas acredito que certas tradições culturais devem ser respeitadas. O axe é um estado de espírito, é como uma força ou energia q da a vida a o q a pessoa fz. o axé deve estar dentro de nós quando nos expressamos. Na capoeira, uma dança-luta cultural, pra se jogar, de verdade, é preciso de mais do q aprender os movimento, capoeira é vivencia, conversa, contato, fraternidade da roda e sobretudo axe. na vale a pena fzer só

[kepler98]

@maurotupi legal, eu ja imaginava que se tratava de um ''sentimento'' ou estado de espirito, acima de tudo a capoeira eh fantastica por unir as pessoas, tanto eh legal que no inicio da roda eles sempre se cumprimento,

abraços. e muito axe hehe

[Devilgenes]

@maurotupi man i think its kinda stupid what u say,...why cannot it be teached like that??like any other martial art



[IcyOne4884]

@maurotupi You fail to understand that not everyone has access to a mestre. It's not like you can walk down the street & just find like 6 Mestre just waiting to teach someone how to do these moves. So what's the next best thing for those without money for lessons or acess to a friend who knows this.......Oh I don't know ....The internet & videos that teach can you. Might not be perfect, might not be 100% right but it still helps thoughs with an interest.

[georgeclooney223]

@IcyOne4884 i agree. im learning capoeira from these vids. i also know some taekwondo already, so that helps

[Kisame1691]

you are the king man

[LEOIC82]

[lemzkies18]

[aragonado]

oh my god men, i'm from brasil and i've been playing capoeira for 7 years now.

[WatsUpWithThozeBROS]

[sssjtibi]

Szeretek capoeirázni és kiállok az mellett hogy ha valami okosan használja a mozdulatokat megvédheti magát vele, de pl ennek a mozdulatnak kajak nem látom értelmét ...

[Pujc]

ha megtanulta ezt valaki akkor bizony gyakorolni is kell mert elveszhet idővel ez a hajlénonyság, bár könnyebben visszahozható.

[gusmetome]
