This is not exploiting. I love capoeira. Every single thing about it. The game, the fight, the florero. But if nike asked me to florero and was offering decent money for it I would definitly go for it. Not that im losing my values or my love for the art, but realistically speaking why turn them down. Its just like charging for capoeira lessons. We dont do it because we lost our values. we do it because we need to survive.
You mentioned you love every aspect of capoeira including the fight. But I think that if you understood what the fight is really about, you would be arguing the same point as I.
I've still not seen anyone who can keep up with the Speed of a Brazillian Man i met in Glasgow a few Months back he wasn't Built to well but is strong and quick moved a little faster than the guys at 2:23
Well there is a reason to that. That is because Capoeiras isnt united like other sports. Every capoeira group or orginization has there own graduation system and because of that you cant let them compete. Because you have two diffrent graduation systems you dont know what he/she learned. So long story as long as capoeira isnt united there wont be any competitions with other capoeira groups
No style is unified and if one existed that was, as soon as the head master died they all fight for power and fell apart. I know I have studied few styles and they all broke apart.
fuck off nike, trying to use capoeira to sell their bullshit.
typical of modern capitalism to co-opt revolutionary memes and try to undermine them. kust like che guevara tshirts made by children who work like slaves.
we don't need anything made by nike to play capoeira. the soul of capoeira cannot be bought.
nike is a large corporation, it has sweat shops that underpays people to work in slave-like conditions. capoeira is an art form that was developed in resistance to such things as slavery and oppression... how ironic for a capoeira group to not look at what they are practising and it's relevance to the surrounding world. Or is it all about the show and performing???????
@Dani2300one Thanks for backing up my point. If you can't think of a better come back than that one, delightfully spelled in a typical iGen manner (the generation after gen-Y) then I have no doubt of your inability to comprehend the conflict of interest between practising capoeira and supporting Nike. Thankfully, based on that, we most likely practise completely different forms of capoeira and will never have to cross paths!
@kickinit85 Well, it is ironic, but it's definitely not surprising. Modern capoeira has almost nothing to do with any kind of historic capoeira. Moreover, modern capoeiristas are like prostitutes in that they'll gladly clown around and do their crazy jumps for anybody who pays (or just anybody who gawks and claps).
amazing video..and the music is great too..but i dont agree with wanoo..there arent many acrobatics in video, this is normal roda, and those guys are probably instructors or mestres,as it can be seen in their movements and kicks..i`m capoeirista too and i have seen many rodas where was much more acrobatics than here.sorry for my english

Nice Nice, I like! Very good video adopted due to show people who dont know what capoeira is, to motivate them. But I think, in a normal Roda they wouldnt do so many acrobatics, althoug it looks nice.
they may noy be playing the insruments but the reason i said its good is cuz some of the games i see them playing are good cuz they are acctually doing the moves with intention, and theyre taking eachother down. instead of just trying to flow, and alot of other vids show off too much.also.. you can see the roda and the instruments in the back. and cuz the instruments tend to not sound very good when recorded, the sound was overlapped by another song to keep peoples interest.
it always makes me MAD when capoeira videos have crappy non-capoeira music playing. I'd rather hear whatever the bateria is playing.

Fuck Nike! Nike exploits labor similar to slavery.
Why sell off an art like capoeira, that the ancestors of it fought so hard to preserve....
I forgot we live in a time where vanity and ego mean more than .intelligence and awareness of what's really going on in this world.... WAKE UP!!!!!

Wow. Who are you to judge why people practice capoeira...?? nobody can get good at without some sort of live for it.
tankshot009 2 years ago 2
Nike supports slave labor. It is simple. Why exploit an art that had many of its ancestors fighting hard to preserve it from becoming like this.
Does fashion mean more than values?

tankshot009 2 years ago 3
Dude, I think your idea of survival is a bit misguided.
Doing floreios for nike to earn some $ isn't survival. Being forced to work in sweatshops in unfair conditions is a true measure of having to survive.
Whatever you think you feel about it...
supporting Nike is a direct blow to the intrinsic values of capoeira, and everything the earlier capoeira masters fought hard to preserve.

Every style is dirty in a fight, no rules exist. What I cant kick you in the balls or bite your ears off in a fight in the street.
No Martial arts was intended for competition, they just made changes and placed rules and designed it for competition.

@kickinit85 I practice Capoeira, because it is fun to me. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ME!!
And if I could do a show to get out, to as many people as possible I would be excited. Once I was in a big theater
performing some capoeira, with my group... and I didn't think about that the curtains were made by people working in "slave-like conditions"!
I can definitly see your point. But I still think it's a bit stupid.
