and how can this be named a martial art?i dont see anything dangerously there...he's just moving with his parts of body...im sure this tricks will not help him in battle.you better go to learn breakdancing,this is beautiful and useful at the same time be training your body,like parkour...yeah,this guy has a cool body,but if i would be him,i would use it for something more useful.
@dimanoid999 "Andrew is warming up" This is pretty mouch just acrobatics. He barely does any kicks. If you wanna see Capoeira fighting then watch another video
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nice.. You really need to train your body if your gonna learn capoeira since you practicaly cant use the moves in real life combat. so your best shot is your body can land and take blows.. keep up the training.. who knows maybe you would be able to beat a karate white belt if you grow two time bigger than him ^^
Generally something earns the title of 'fighting style' for a reason. BECAUSE IT WORKS. Capoeira is one of the oldest fighting styles, older than karate...and like many arts it was at one time banned because it was considered to dangerous. When you get someone who knows what they're doing, it's just as deadly as any other martial art.
exactly. capoeiristas have the best of both worlds. if we dont use it as a fighting style we can turn right around and have alot of fun just playing. finally someone is defending capoeira. thank you.
You're welcome. There aren't many main stream practitioners these days - and I hate to see it bashed simply because someone doesn't know what it can do.
@Peace0MamaCas Capoeira is not more than 500 years in it's developement. A somewhat mystical culmination of the african population in Brasil, of whom many were slaves at first. The origins of capoeira are thoroughly obscure as a consequence of the actions of the past government of Brasil. What I mean to say is: karate is older than capoeira, unless you strip them both of their title, then you might as well call them both kung-fu - martial art. Back to basics, there.
This is great work and a very good way to express art in all levels. Every other negative comments regarding your talents, should be kept for the haters. If people are uncapable of expressing their opinions without being constructive, they should go to school first, then get a degree and come back here to judge your talents. Good work.
hey man, i sense the love for the art, though your ginga technique isn't proper. But if your living in brasil now, i'm sure you'll learn everything. Good luck!
I was going to say the same thing, i've been doing capoeira for a long time and you got great skills just work on your ginga, space your feet out more and try not to put them one behind the other.
I agree with everyone else...you're good except for the gings..but I understand you probably weren't being too serious when you made this vid. My ginga gets sloppy outside of the roda too! lol
yeah Exalceo...your legs arent supposed to cross when u ginga..and no disrespect or anything..but he needs to guard his face a lil more when he ginga and have a lil stronger ginga...to avoid hastheda, and bandha..he has nice basic moves for sures....how long has played for?
I miss this man so much. He was my fitness trainer. Moved to Fortaleza and got married. He's a good apprentice, yeah? I want to do this, but scared out of my mind.

There are no bad martial arts. Only bad martial artists.
Except for Tae Kwon Do. That sucks.
