@thelbpimp There is no "complete" fighting system. It all comes down to the practitioner. How they read the situation, adapt to their opponent, and stratagize their responses. No art is better than the other. They all have pros and cons. It's just what resonates with you more.
Salme brother, here in Brazil to see their videos, and also to say that their are deos mass. I can not speak English because I used tradutro blows dier how much I liked the video, VLW and he's helping me a lot ... they are new in poultry and want to become a professional watching your video ... have any contact? type oukit msn or something?
It can't be the most complete fighting style because it doesn't have grapples or locks, just a few scissors takedowns and little in the way of fist striking. I wouldn't put my faith in capoeira alone. It may teach excellent evasion manovers and dangerous unpredictable kicks, but once you're on the ground you're fucked.
Yes, but that's exactly my point, Capoeira techniques alone will not win you a fight, you have to combine techniques from other arts like BJJ to really be an effective fighter.
@thelbpimp Capoeria orginated from black slavery, they disguised it as a dance to practice this without it being discovered as a Martial Art. Then when they thaught they were ready, they attacked to get back their freedom. The Ginga is the Capoeria stance, some choose not to use it (Like in MMA), Ginga helps them with their technique, without it, it would be more difficult to perform their moves. Round house kick, and the Spinning back kick is performed in almost every Martial art except Kita.
you're right it wouldn't work. when did this guy ever say he wanted to fight you? so before you go all roid rage on his ass understand what you're talking about.
@polinserrano12 ok dumb ass Anderson Silva trains capoeira there is video on youtube to prove it, & i think he won a few fights...he uses capoeira techniques in his fights all the time...so ummm maybe you have been training baby mma with toddlers because clearly you just made yourself sound like a 2 year old.
@thelbpimp STFU, capoeira has a lot of moves that no other martial art has ;) not jsut the ginga. But also there are moves like benson who are in all martial arts.... welll it normal... because from the start of the world men wanted a fast and efective leg kick ;) So benson is very popular (known as May'ghery or how is it written too ;) )
if you honestly believe capoeira is the most complete system out there then you don't have the knowledge or authority necessary to make that statement in a public forum. It's pretty, and it's acrobatic, it is not effective in a street fight where all those wonderful kicks are useless after the first 3 seconds or so, and you're takedowns, also very pretty and flashy, simply are not as efficient or effective as their counterparts in all other fighting styles.
@thelbpimp really? *sighs* come on man, every martial art is almost complete. of course they can never be 100% because there is always something new that can be done. so never again say capoeira is the "most complete". and if u ignore me, well let me kno wen u find ANY martial art that can beat the rest...
You Stupid DumbAss, you don't know the really brazilian capoeira, all you see is just american idiots trying to do the same of us brazilians, here in Brazil these things are so different.

@thelbpimp its not a mma just because it has moves from other styles, there are 100's of different styles but they are different in the way they focus on certain techniques and stances. There are only a number of ways to kick and punch so its not like every style is going to be completely different.

@ghettobird93 nope lol i did ju-jitsu and BJJ, karate, muay thai, and zen do kai, oh and tricking but nah i never learnt capoeira, ive learnt a couple of moves but they aren't clean enough for me to do them with speed or power.
@troysnightmare Actually if you're good at capoeira, you probably have an advantage in a fight since the other dude probably won't expect whatever you're doing. Capoeira also teaches fighting with your momentum and maintaining balance, big advantage in a fight. Now, if you were to fight some Muay Thai guy, you're most probably going down.
@JesusChristRulesYOU thats not "Yoga" it Capoeira, they are very different from one another, and if u don't know what Capoeira is then look it up and maybe you will learn something
Oh, I see. I was referring to the 'game' of Capoeira & you were referring to using Capoeira in a real fight. I agree that some Capoeira movements will certainly be more effective than others in actual combat. But it is my opinion that at this point, what you're doing ceases to be Capoeira and becomes something else: Simply survival techniques. My instructor teaches that when you're in a disadvantagous situation like that, use malicia to win or escape. Meaning: hit them w/ a chair...lol
In a real fight, a capoerista wouldnt use most of his "tricks". Capoeira in a street fight would look like TKD with some Muay thai and a little of BJJ. It all depends on how you practice it.
And for ppl that dont practice capoeira, it looks like throwing kicks from those weird possitions is impossible, while for us capoeristas its something as easy as to jump or scratch out arm. In other words you dont rly need to "build" anything to use capoeira in a street fight, telling this from expirience.
Capoeira is too hard to integrate into MMA, honestly. Ive seen one guy do it, and he was good, but it's not easy because when grappling, you lose all mobility and all the moves you'll learn from this are about mobility...so your capoeira would only be good for distancing yourself.
well of course the caoperia fighter should definately train in grappling as well. i meant that it could be added into a fighters arsenal of styles, the stylish and akward angled kicks could prove to be effective when fighters are on their feet.
xD I know they'd train grappling too. I agree that it'd be cool in mma, and I agree that the effectiveness might be high against someone that is inexperienced, but for the most part, muay thai is said to be more effective. Im learning capoeira, so Id love to be able to use it in mma, but I just dont think it'll happen x.x
It's hard but not impossible, and Capoeira can be used aggressively if one gets the momentuem going but one gets tired out too quickly. And it can be used defensivly to capitalize on a opponents mistake or go for a Tesoura, for example, if in the right position. But of course, easier said then done. All depends on the fighter.
Like I said, itd be cool and fun, but just a difficult mixture of arts to work with, initially. Im sure itd get easier with practice of both as a set. Either way, Ill stick to straight capoeira. Its far cooler and more fun than grappling, in my opinion.
Then again depending on how you use your skill depends on how quickly you will "tire yourself out", I pretty sure one won't get exhausted if he were to use the striking techniques such as the meia lua de compasso or chapa, throw in a couple cartwheels(at the right moment) and some dirty techniques like the hand strikes are then I don't you will tire too quickly.
Or you could just slow the hell down for a minute... lol Don't restrict the movements to save energy. Regional is a beautiful game! And I love it! But most times, I see guys jump in the roda, they're there for about 30 seconds doing movements and then they're ready to buy out. That's exciting to watch for the casual viewer, but for the experienced Capoeirista... we wanna see some control, stamina and depth to your game.
lol I know but I was referring to street fight situations because I know I wouldn't be doing a headstand in front of a dude that wants to gut me with a boxer cutter. Yes, its good to see great Capoeirista's show their skill then to have a "how high can you jump" game. Regardless, Capoeira will always amaze me.
I think it's hard to build up the momentum you'd need to pull it off. It's such a fast discipline that any fighter could completely disable that area of your skill set by just taking you to the ground and grappling. It would look awesome if someone did it though. Like MarkDoesWork says though, it might be good as a defensive, evasive tactic rather than offensive though.
the only negative i would give capoeria is the toughnes that is earned through hard sparring and hitting a bag.
thats it.
I practice capoeria angola palmares and I swear by it. this move is not taught as an advanced move. LOL - capoeria rules. just throw in some toughening exercises and youre set.
I tried capo for a bit. Like all martial arts if you know what works best for you u can use it but alot of it didnt do it for me so I stopped. I found Traditional japanese ju jitsu to work best for me on the street. capoeira has given me variations on my kicks maybe I should not have given up on it in just under a year tho
I've only started learning Capoeira. From the way it's being taught I have no reason to consider it as anything more than dancing to music. There isn't really a self defence element to the moves as we practice them. People are trying so hard not to snot themselves whilst pulling off a move, they don't have time to think about attacking and defending. I'm sure masters in this art are a force to be reckoned with, but if you want some quick self defence, stick to boxing or jiu jutsu.
i think you need to change school, not because they're teaching you it wrong, but different schools/groups place different emphasis on the elements that make up capoeira. some are more martial than others, some will place the emphasis on acrobatics etc etc...
I figured as much. I am actually a dancer, so this particular style suits me just fine. It's a great way to work out, builds tremendous core strength and quick reflexes. I love it, but honestly I doubt that Capoeira is still as relevant a martial art as it used to be. If I was attacked on the street, the last thing I'd want to be doing would be bouncing around on my hands. It would be near impossible anyway, what with the clothes I normally wear :b
again because your school is focussing on a different element you're not seeing how to use it. for instance, someone trips you, you'd use the momentum of the fall to do something from it. you have you have the understanding of what you can do with those movements and need experience of using them against people with different fighting styles. I get the chance to do this a lot with friends who train in different arts, not saying one is better than the other but capoeira is a very effective art
There's no doubt that it improves your sense of spatial awareness, quickens reaction time and gives you more options overall in terms of evasion etc. I think every martial art has its own unique advantage to teach people. But I wouldn't rely solely on capoeira to win a fight. Standing strike based and grappling arts are always more efficient. It's good to have a knowledge of multiple styles anyway.
You said it yourself, you practice the dancing element. Even compared to a roda, a real fight with a capoeirista would look completely different. I have yet to see a ginga used in a street fight, and of course you arent going to see flips, or any Au variations, unless there was a real reason.
You would probably see meia lua de compassos, bencaos, elbow & knee strikes, and maybe even chapas and martelos, maybe. Throw in a few punches here and there, and suddenly capoeira isnt so 'harmless'
You hit the nail on the head. There is a huge difference between a Capoeirista playing a game in the roda and having a fight on the street. Now, realistically speaking, that Capoierista needs to be advanced enough to know the difference as well. I have no doubt that in a real fight, I could use meia lua de compassos, bencaos, elbow & knee strikes, chapas, roles, rasteira and cabeçada, too. And besides strikes, there are alot of takedowns that most casual viewers don't know about either.
This is precisely the reason why most ppl shouldn't be doing Capoeira (or most martial arts, for that matter). Capoeira is a holistic art. If you come only looking to quickly learn some fighting movements, you are only open to a fraction of what Capoeira is. Most instructors can perceive this rather easily. What incentive would they have to teach their cherished and secret arts to a student who is not open-minded and fly-by-night?
so im 17 and i really want to learn . i live in florida. how many years would you think it would take until im good enough to protect myself if anything , in a real fight?
it depends from person you fight against naturaly, but for basic protection or for creating excapeing chanse it is enough one year whith 2x per week (I train that long, and i wouldn go fight me) but to become real good so nobody can stop you it takes long time and a lot of training - like in any other thing
a very long time, and it depends how many times a week you go, if you go full 5 days a week you'll learn in no time... but i only go during the summer break and like twice a week so im not as efficient in the martial art but i can protect myself to a certain point, but then again thats becus my instructor is awsome and doesn't take him 2 effing years to teach me a kick. if your not going to go at least 4 times a week i strongly suggest you practice what youve learned on your own time as well.
If you want to learn how to protect yourself, dont learn capoeira. Brazilian Capoeira masters are just beasts from growing up in brazil, training capoeira (the training is really hard and makes you strong) and fighting in the streets. Dont expect the possibility of flashy kicks in a street fight. If you train capoeira then you definetly have an advantage against other people as it just makes your whole body so strong and you actually train your reflexes. I do capo for 8 yrsandthatsmypoint ofview
If you train CP for so many yrs, you should know that it REALLY teaches you how to protect yourself. I completely disagree with you. I do capoeira for 5 yrs and I've protected myself several times. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF, CAPOEIRA IS A REALLY GOOD WAY.
Maybe its because I play capoeira and I dont fight it. I believe you, that you protected yourself several times but I dont think you did any armada, meia lua or any other capoeira kick except for bencao and you dont need to do capoeira to do that. How does it teach you to protect yourself? IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT YOURSELF, YOU SHOULD LEARN A SELF DEFENSE TECHNIQUE. Seriously, todays capoeira is not designed for self defense.
My friend, If there is ANY Capoeira that is designed for self defense, that capoeira would be the todays, with all the improvements that BIMBA made. Nothing against the Angola Capoeira, it is a great style. But as a martial art, I'd not say that is as valuable as the regional. At the occasions where I fond myself needing my reflexes, I totally believe that capoeira was the thing that gave me the skills/tools needed to achieve these reflexes. And, as a matter of fact, I used a Martelo once =).
Thats what I said. You get the power and the reflexes from Capoeira. Capoeira is a lot more than self defense and I am happy about that. I learn to play the berimbau, pandeiro, atabaque, the songs, the expression. If I fully concentrated on the self defense aspect, id be a more effective fighter, though that wouldnt be capoeira anymore.
ethnicity. not saying a race is better in capoeira but here in florida we have more latin culture and its more close to brazil andthere are more brazilians here then in other parts of the u.s and capoeira is from brazil so :)
or looking for that magical discipline i hate to burst
some peoples bubbles out ther but no martial art will make you a better fighter and all martial arts can be used in a fight.Its the hart,mind and spirit
first of all i am a capoeirista and i know for a fact that we use head buts knees elbows kicks everything....my mestre just got his nose broken lasy week... we do full contact competitions you see people leave with broken jaws knees noses alot of the vids people see is called the jougo its a game no contact ment to happen in it...we are not ment to use it full contact with your friendsl lol
I just have to know, is it actually possible for someone to teach themselves Capoeira? I have been watching videos on this for a little while. I don't think I trust myself enough to try it alone.
I've been asking myself the same question. But I'm working on being in shape first and practicing basic moves shown through the vids. Then when I'm comfortable enough I'll try more advance stuff.
LOL! I heard that. I'm not in the best shape in the world either. I may just work on slimming down some 1st. But I still don't trust me. LOL I may just take a class.
Its possible. But it would better to learn it with an instructor. It is a combat style after all and there is a whole culture behind it as well. A teacher should teach not just the moves but the culture and the way to use the moves.
Yea, I know. I want to learn it all. The culture, the moves and how to use them. I even want to learn how to play the instruments they use during games. I can do the tambourine but I want to learn to play Berimbau also.
you kick someone with this right?

remo2009 2 years ago
In a real fight, a capoerista wouldnt use most of his "tricks". Capoeira in a street fight would look like TKD with some Muay thai and a little of BJJ. It all depends on how you practice it.
And for ppl that dont practice capoeira, it looks like throwing kicks from those weird possitions is impossible, while for us capoeristas its something as easy as to jump or scratch out arm. In other words you dont rly need to "build" anything to use capoeira in a street fight, telling this from expirience.

if i was in a professional MMA league i would most definately learn some of this. idk why none of them do.
TenderLover 2 years ago
Capoeira is too hard to integrate into MMA, honestly. Ive seen one guy do it, and he was good, but it's not easy because when grappling, you lose all mobility and all the moves you'll learn from this are about mobility...so your capoeira would only be good for distancing yourself.
MarkDoesWork 2 years ago
well of course the caoperia fighter should definately train in grappling as well. i meant that it could be added into a fighters arsenal of styles, the stylish and akward angled kicks could prove to be effective when fighters are on their feet.
TenderLover 2 years ago
xD I know they'd train grappling too. I agree that it'd be cool in mma, and I agree that the effectiveness might be high against someone that is inexperienced, but for the most part, muay thai is said to be more effective. Im learning capoeira, so Id love to be able to use it in mma, but I just dont think it'll happen x.x

lilpretomunchmunch 2 years ago
@MarkDoesWork
It's hard but not impossible, and Capoeira can be used aggressively if one gets the momentuem going but one gets tired out too quickly. And it can be used defensivly to capitalize on a opponents mistake or go for a Tesoura, for example, if in the right position. But of course, easier said then done. All depends on the fighter.
theprinceofspain 2 years ago
Like I said, itd be cool and fun, but just a difficult mixture of arts to work with, initially. Im sure itd get easier with practice of both as a set. Either way, Ill stick to straight capoeira. Its far cooler and more fun than grappling, in my opinion.
MarkDoesWork 2 years ago
@MarkDoesWork
I agree with you, I choose Capoeira over BJJ anyday of the week. It's much much more fun then mounting a guy.
theprinceofspain 2 years ago
HAHA! Capoeiristas get tired too quickly?! Maybe the regional guys do! Angolieros are built to go all day!
shadowsaiyan 2 years ago
Then again depending on how you use your skill depends on how quickly you will "tire yourself out", I pretty sure one won't get exhausted if he were to use the striking techniques such as the meia lua de compasso or chapa, throw in a couple cartwheels(at the right moment) and some dirty techniques like the hand strikes are then I don't you will tire too quickly.
theprinceofspain 1 year ago
Or you could just slow the hell down for a minute... lol Don't restrict the movements to save energy. Regional is a beautiful game! And I love it! But most times, I see guys jump in the roda, they're there for about 30 seconds doing movements and then they're ready to buy out. That's exciting to watch for the casual viewer, but for the experienced Capoeirista... we wanna see some control, stamina and depth to your game.
shadowsaiyan 1 year ago
lol I know but I was referring to street fight situations because I know I wouldn't be doing a headstand in front of a dude that wants to gut me with a boxer cutter. Yes, its good to see great Capoeirista's show their skill then to have a "how high can you jump" game. Regardless, Capoeira will always amaze me.
theprinceofspain 1 year ago
I think it's hard to build up the momentum you'd need to pull it off. It's such a fast discipline that any fighter could completely disable that area of your skill set by just taking you to the ground and grappling. It would look awesome if someone did it though. Like MarkDoesWork says though, it might be good as a defensive, evasive tactic rather than offensive though.

the only negative i would give capoeria is the toughnes that is earned through hard sparring and hitting a bag.

batmanvkk 2 years ago
core
snukiputzi2413 2 years ago
To learn capoeira moves without going to a class is hard, but you can still do it. Just watch inst. videos like these and read about moves online.
You will really need to have a flexible back & legs, have great balance (for handstands and the like), and absolute control while balancing.
You will also (obviously) need a really strong core and arms.
Hope this helped. :)

I tried capo for a bit. Like all martial arts if you know what works best for you u can use it but alot of it didnt do it for me so I stopped. I found Traditional japanese ju jitsu to work best for me on the street. capoeira has given me variations on my kicks maybe I should not have given up on it in just under a year tho
TheDeluar 2 years ago
I've only started learning Capoeira. From the way it's being taught I have no reason to consider it as anything more than dancing to music. There isn't really a self defence element to the moves as we practice them. People are trying so hard not to snot themselves whilst pulling off a move, they don't have time to think about attacking and defending. I'm sure masters in this art are a force to be reckoned with, but if you want some quick self defence, stick to boxing or jiu jutsu.
Sambucca 2 years ago
Thanks. I guess it is more for the enjoyment of it all.
TheDeluar 2 years ago
If not for the enjoyment then learn it for the pussy pulling power it has when you bust windmills on the dance floor.
Sambucca 2 years ago
i think you need to change school, not because they're teaching you it wrong, but different schools/groups place different emphasis on the elements that make up capoeira. some are more martial than others, some will place the emphasis on acrobatics etc etc...
cham128 2 years ago
I figured as much. I am actually a dancer, so this particular style suits me just fine. It's a great way to work out, builds tremendous core strength and quick reflexes. I love it, but honestly I doubt that Capoeira is still as relevant a martial art as it used to be. If I was attacked on the street, the last thing I'd want to be doing would be bouncing around on my hands. It would be near impossible anyway, what with the clothes I normally wear :b
Sambucca 2 years ago
again because your school is focussing on a different element you're not seeing how to use it. for instance, someone trips you, you'd use the momentum of the fall to do something from it. you have you have the understanding of what you can do with those movements and need experience of using them against people with different fighting styles. I get the chance to do this a lot with friends who train in different arts, not saying one is better than the other but capoeira is a very effective art
cham128 2 years ago
There's no doubt that it improves your sense of spatial awareness, quickens reaction time and gives you more options overall in terms of evasion etc. I think every martial art has its own unique advantage to teach people. But I wouldn't rely solely on capoeira to win a fight. Standing strike based and grappling arts are always more efficient. It's good to have a knowledge of multiple styles anyway.
Sambucca 2 years ago
You said it yourself, you practice the dancing element. Even compared to a roda, a real fight with a capoeirista would look completely different. I have yet to see a ginga used in a street fight, and of course you arent going to see flips, or any Au variations, unless there was a real reason.
You would probably see meia lua de compassos, bencaos, elbow & knee strikes, and maybe even chapas and martelos, maybe. Throw in a few punches here and there, and suddenly capoeira isnt so 'harmless'
WackoWasko 2 years ago
You hit the nail on the head. There is a huge difference between a Capoeirista playing a game in the roda and having a fight on the street. Now, realistically speaking, that Capoierista needs to be advanced enough to know the difference as well. I have no doubt that in a real fight, I could use meia lua de compassos, bencaos, elbow & knee strikes, chapas, roles, rasteira and cabeçada, too. And besides strikes, there are alot of takedowns that most casual viewers don't know about either.
shadowsaiyan 2 years ago
This is precisely the reason why most ppl shouldn't be doing Capoeira (or most martial arts, for that matter). Capoeira is a holistic art. If you come only looking to quickly learn some fighting movements, you are only open to a fraction of what Capoeira is. Most instructors can perceive this rather easily. What incentive would they have to teach their cherished and secret arts to a student who is not open-minded and fly-by-night?

so im 17 and i really want to learn . i live in florida. how many years would you think it would take until im good enough to protect myself if anything , in a real fight?
spinjoh 2 years ago
it depends from person you fight against naturaly, but for basic protection or for creating excapeing chanse it is enough one year whith 2x per week (I train that long, and i wouldn go fight me) but to become real good so nobody can stop you it takes long time and a lot of training - like in any other thing
uncleroach 2 years ago
a very long time, and it depends how many times a week you go, if you go full 5 days a week you'll learn in no time... but i only go during the summer break and like twice a week so im not as efficient in the martial art but i can protect myself to a certain point, but then again thats becus my instructor is awsome and doesn't take him 2 effing years to teach me a kick. if your not going to go at least 4 times a week i strongly suggest you practice what youve learned on your own time as well.

pLaSmAGrEEn 2 years ago
If you want to learn how to protect yourself, dont learn capoeira. Brazilian Capoeira masters are just beasts from growing up in brazil, training capoeira (the training is really hard and makes you strong) and fighting in the streets. Dont expect the possibility of flashy kicks in a street fight. If you train capoeira then you definetly have an advantage against other people as it just makes your whole body so strong and you actually train your reflexes. I do capo for 8 yrsandthatsmypoint ofview
DhalsimHibiki 2 years ago
If you train CP for so many yrs, you should know that it REALLY teaches you how to protect yourself. I completely disagree with you. I do capoeira for 5 yrs and I've protected myself several times. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF, CAPOEIRA IS A REALLY GOOD WAY.
perroninhu 2 years ago
Maybe its because I play capoeira and I dont fight it. I believe you, that you protected yourself several times but I dont think you did any armada, meia lua or any other capoeira kick except for bencao and you dont need to do capoeira to do that. How does it teach you to protect yourself? IF YOU WANT TO PROTECT YOURSELF, YOU SHOULD LEARN A SELF DEFENSE TECHNIQUE. Seriously, todays capoeira is not designed for self defense.
DhalsimHibiki 2 years ago
My friend, If there is ANY Capoeira that is designed for self defense, that capoeira would be the todays, with all the improvements that BIMBA made. Nothing against the Angola Capoeira, it is a great style. But as a martial art, I'd not say that is as valuable as the regional. At the occasions where I fond myself needing my reflexes, I totally believe that capoeira was the thing that gave me the skills/tools needed to achieve these reflexes. And, as a matter of fact, I used a Martelo once =).
perroninhu 2 years ago
Thats what I said. You get the power and the reflexes from Capoeira. Capoeira is a lot more than self defense and I am happy about that. I learn to play the berimbau, pandeiro, atabaque, the songs, the expression. If I fully concentrated on the self defense aspect, id be a more effective fighter, though that wouldnt be capoeira anymore.
