To be fair, I know this looks like flashy shit, but practicing martial arts was banned in brazil when it was controlled by portugal, so they practiced it pretending it was a dance. Capoeira helped them regain independence, much like Eskrima did with the filipinos against spain.
=_= This is only for stunts in movies. if i had a bat or gun you be dead or in the hostpile. but for hand to hand combat, the take downs will only work unless your comfotrable doing all the flashy stuff in public.
@xbimpyx but remember, you have a bat or a gun because you couldn't afford a job with that grammar, while I could afford a hospital because I have good grammar. =D
@AlexLococo 1. i have a job. 2. ur a just a gammar troll nazi. 3. go the hell away and take ur gammar nazi trolling somewhere else why waist ur life arguing with ppl about gammar on yotube. 3. hah hah you dont got job. 4. im done here
i dont think the buff black guy knew capoeria , ( his stance was poor)but then abon he in proved in the end of the film , i've seen the real video and it was good to see those acrobatic movements used for attack :D ,
so i have been practicing capoiera for a month now. and altough the reason for my love of it is free expression and acrobatics and just plain fun and addicting. i have to ask. if in a real life situation do you think you would be able to defend yourself from lets say a group of muggers or even one
@aragorio Yes...I believe you can because I have before...just depends on the technique and the application.Some guy tried mugging me at a bus stop and I used Ponteira(very dangerous kick) to his liver and a Meia lua de compasso (Rabo da Arraia) to his head.I walked away and he fell asleep.It just depends on how you train. Hope this helps answer your question.Best of luck,train hard and Axé :)
@CarNikolaj You're think their technique is more embarrassing than their super tight pants and mullets? I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with that.
I'm sorry, I don't believe you. Capoeira is a dance. I'm sure there are capoeira practitioners who could beat me up, but if they do it would be based on their conditioning rather than their unsafe moves. Capoeira screams flashy breakdance moves, poor body/head positioning, no margin of error, and unrealistic scenarios. Show me live capoeira that works and I'll shut up.
that's okay, but let's break this video down for a second: he blocked a punch with a kick, pretty baisic and often used in taekwando, then high kick followed by what is baisicly a tornado kick, which is generally found in shaolen kung fu.
second demo: fake as hell, but the handstand kick still works
third one:a simple block and counter scenario with some flash sprinkled on top.
You're describing a choreographed fight sequence, of course it's going to "work." I could beat an opponent using nothing but finger pokes if he came at me in slow motion and fell down when I touched him. People don't fight like this though. Attackers don't punch like little girls or just peacefully walk into kicks. I used to breakdance, unless you are a star athlete, handstand moves take TONS of energy to pull off and are very dangerous at high speeds.
Energy is just one reason. You do martial arts, let me ask you this, why do you keep your hands up in a fight? Answer: to protect your head. Every time the cap guy does a handstand or cartwheel he's putting his face (and back) in front of his opponent's foot.
Bottom line, Capoeira is a dance. I know people who practice it will claim that it's a disguised deadly martial art, but if it does have any application, it's impeded by everything that makes Capoeira, Capoeira and not kickboxing. Please don't watch this and think you can fight 2 guys at once or take on a guy with a baseball bat using martial arts.
first of all, your grasp of the obvious astounds me.
second of all, how in the name of sweet Satan would you disguise hand to hand combat in a scenario where anything that looked even remotely like a fighting style would get you shot? I'm not saying it's some kind of "super-style" there's no such thing, but to think that programming your body for such agility and speed combined with a thinly veiled set of attacks and dodges will do you no good is just this side of mental illness
Lol, you're the one who wanted to "break this video down," so don't criticize me for pointing shit out. Besides, I brought up legitimate points that you have yet to address. To answer your question, "how would you disguise a fighting style"... you wouldn't. You get a watered-down MA that is full of inefficient dance moves. Can it work? Sure. Every capoeira guy i've seen has been jacked, but they're dangerous in the same way an athletic break dancer is. Show me realistic Cap, plz.
that's all true and to be honest I have no strong opinion on the subjest, just started the argument cuz I was bored, but if you'd like to continue, I'm cool wit it. now for your points
1. hide it in the culture, like Escrima, or kali, unless that too is useless
2. fitness is one of the greatest parts of this art/ dance, I mean a suicide kick to the face is impractical and overall foolish, but requires great strength and agility\
I am not going to argue about any of this, just adding to the discussion that this video is nearly 25 years old. Many martial arts do evolve. So did Capoeira. As an example for "fighting" within capoeira, which undoubtedly you can transfer to the streets, (search youtube for "best of muzenza")
Contemporary C. is open for additions such as BJJ, not always this is seen as improvement, but the possibility for modification remains.
Ugh, I'll ignore that comment about me being a douche in the interest of ending this. Yes, arguing over the internet is both stupid and fun. I disagree with your assessment of Capoeira. To me, it is cooperative breakdancing but w/e, we can agree to disagree.
I assume you're talking about the Finnish metal. I'm glad you like it, it is uniquely awesome.
I believe if trained properly Capoeira could be devastating, mainly because its so unusual...heck I'd never expect an opponent to turn a cartwheel and kick me right in the face LOL.
Very nice! I think this is the first video post I've seen that showcases capoeira as an actual form of self defense. Don't get me wrong, I know that Capoeira was originally developed as a way to defend one's self. I just think, personally, that it's more of an art form now than a form of self defense. Still, I love Capoeira. It's one of the most visually stunning and physically challenging arts out there.
WTF is that? horrible! and ridiculo
