  • But it's hard to show really how effetive the moves outside a roda because everything is staged for the audince before hand. in the roda stuff just randomly happens.

  • The dance aspect of Capoeira is very important when learning how 2 fight. It developes coordination, footwork and timing. Many people believe we Capoeiristas fight the same way we jogo. That's not true. In Tae Kwon Do for example, ur not going to spar the same way u do ur forms. Same concept with Capoeira.

  • Excelente, alguns poucos movimentos que foram meio ''mentirosos'', mas no resto, foi foda.

  • various martial arts involves forms and katas too train, even boxing and mixed martial arts involve practiced repetition, so why is it just because you see capoeira played you cant get this concept, because capoeira was made too trick and fool people to think like you do, its just a dance and means nothing, thus its purpose is greater demonstrated and defined, AXE!!!!!!

  • Fala sério. Quem vai brigar assim na rua?

  • Type in "capoeira Angola street defense".

    That will give you a better idea on how

    to use capoeira on the street.

  • I say yes and no to that. it's a damn good vid, but so is this one (in some parts).

  • Perfect

  • I guess real Capoeira wouldn't look fancy if your fighting for real. That's what people forget to realize. That's the way any martial is.

  • @johneblaze82 Im glad you see that , because martial arts period is not for looking pretty, unless you wanna get ya ass whooped in "style"

  • Where's the capoeira ?If u want to learn real capoeira come to salvador ,Brazil , and u will see real masters training in the streets!My mother was born there and when i went there for the first time i started to practice!REal corpo fechado Kadeo paranauê ?Eo birimbau haha

  • yeah, that may be true, but not everyone can go to salvador. some people have to play their own way. axe.

  • I understood Mestre Bimba to have incorperated techniques from Batuque ......Is that right?.....Information on Batuque is very hard to come by, my mestre (Gato, Senzala) is a bit vague when I ask him.....

  • @ashleysmith10022 That's because info on Batuque is very vague. All anyone knows at this time is that it was a game in which two people tried to knock each other to the ground only using their legs.

  • I personally think that this shows very little krav maga and BJJ... remember that capoeira has been used and is still used in the streets of Brazil with tools and knifes. capoeira on the streets is very different to normal capoeira in the roda and has been used for a long time in vale tudo (Brazilian mixed martial arts). so if you do research you will find that capoeira ground work and take downs have been incorporated in BJJ and thats a fact. Look at mestre bimbas style of capoeira for example.

  • friends don't let friends use capoeira in a fight

  • Ah, so that's what it looks like when hairdressers fight!

    Looks like they have tried to incorporate some Krav Maga techniques, but absolutely crappy performance though.

  • Now this is capoeira! But It takes things from Krav Maga and Bjj.

  • you're right and wrong. in regional capoeira, jiujitsu, judo, batuque, and techniques from other styles were incorporated. but that is not krav maga. that part is actually capoeira.

  • I'll be damned, the second knife takedown was kickass :3

  • The worst capoeira demo ever. Where is the malicia? The corpo fechado? The style? Not even a headbutt or rasteira? I did see some Tae Kwon Do and a flying arm bar.

  • The cabecada (=headbutt) was at the first.

    resteira at street self-defence? your joking? you have to neutralize the enemy with any move as fast as u can - you won't start doing jinga in front of him.

    this demo shows self defence using capoeira.

  • agreed. but it would have been cool to see a rasteira or banda.

  • On a real fight, will you use an rasteira?

    don't forget what is the meaning: DEFENCE, you should defence yourself.

    Rasteira is an open movement and you can't really defence yourself from the ground.

  • eh, i see your point. but it still would've been nice to see a banda.

  • Well tons of martial arts use the same techniques but they still have things about them that are unique. In this video i see slaps to the ears, head butts, double leg take downs, roundhouses, cresent kicks, and front kicks, as well as each take down are all very capoeira in charactaristic. I belive people take capoeira for many reasons , be it fitness , dance, music , or as a martial art. However i do belive that in order for it to be effective you really have to pick it apart and make it dirty!

  • agreed! as a capoeirista, when i train, it becomes obvious what you just shouldn't use as a martial art.

  • I was primarily commenting to the fact that nothing looked uniquely capoeira other than they did not protect their heads. A front kick is a front kick, no matter if you use a portugese name or a japanese one. I don't know capoeira, that is true. I study martial arts for a purpose totally different than acrobatics applied to self sefense.

  • if someone punches you, duck and do mau compasso

  • wow....that is not very....capoeira-like...ok, that takedown at 1:18 looked fun. The rest looks like just about any other self-defense art. I am not bad-mouthing this, it just does not look like a demostration of capoeira as self-defense.

  • I don't know about that. I recognized several capoeira moves during the demo. Now did they ginga and flip? No. But in real life situation you probably won't have time for all of that, not to mention it kills the element of surprise (a major benefit of capoeira). In terms of how it looked many of the kicks where capoeira (benecao, chapa/martello, de feute, etc). The take downs and escapes where moves I have seen in rodas (especially at the 1:18 mark).

  • looks like you dont know capoeira^^
