If you took the kicks from capoiera and Tae Kwon do and the ducking techniques from ninjitsu and blended them with the punching techniques of wing chun, you'd have a deadly style and be a bad motherf***er
I like Capoiera, but it is useless as a fighting style IMO since, from what Ive heard, it is only meant to be used against others who use Capoiera and unless mastered or to some other extent, it would get they would get the crap kicked out of them by other styles. Though I would only see this as a way to train the body, and mind, or as a form of entertainment.
Any fighting style needs to be mastered in order for you to defend yourself or in your words kick the crap out of someone. Capoiera was used for by afro-brazilian slaves as a form of self-defense from portugese settlers so it wasn't supposed to be used only against people who used it. Of course like most fighting styles and martial arts today, its used mostly to train the body a make you more disciplined and as you mentioned before a form of entertainment. :)
And once again, for the morons posting, learn facts first, Capoeira has had success in K1 and Ufc, so has tkd and just plain brawling, its all about the fighter, how experienced he is and how well he knows his art, i will say i think Capoeira mixed in with a punching art would be devistating
i agree- from the looks of it all those attacks are NOT normal in terms of power. BUT (i don't watch Ufc)can you give the names of fighters who used this art as their Main/Primary fighting style.-Ufc will be much more interesting w/ capoiera in it
I can just feel sorry for the people that only known CAPOEIRA (please, not capoiera!) as a dance. It is really a dangerous fight but it attracts more people like a show, because few martial arts improve your skills (balance, dexterity, agility, force, body control) as Capoeira.
Another fact that contributes to Capoeira be appreciated as a show is because it is very marginalized and acquitted. For this reason, Capoeira teachers don't stimulate fighting for rookies.
As I'm sure 'awarenessiskey' is aware, there is a big difference between Capoeira as show (as in this video)and Capoeira as fight. Capoeira is a martial art in its own right and isn't just dancing. It is great exercise, but is not 'just a hippy new age work out'. Maybe a bit more awareness of Capoeiras 400 year long martial history is key here, before you slate something you don't know very much about. Awareness is most certainly key.....
capoiera is just dancing, its dangerous against people who dont know any other form of martial arts. good for beating up slave owners. great as an exercise. its just a hippy new age work out. do it and it will work all your muscles, youll look great, wont be able to beat up anyone really tough but youll look great getting your butt kicked.
I agree and disagree with this, in a street-situation, Capoeira is certainly less practical than an Art like Tae Kwan Doe or Karate, but it can be used affectively by those who know it well. I think that although it might not be the best for defense, every aspiring Martial Artist should learn Capoeira to improve their flow, flexibility, muscle strength and also, values. :X

Thank you, thank you!
Not for defending the art(i do Ving-tsun, not capoeira yet) but for bringing facts and sense into this... thing.
I heard that capoeira teaches you to "sneak in the hard kicks" for whatever that might exactly mean...
(I´m going to learn capoeira from next year on)

There is so much power behind a capoeira movement, that if someone fights for real they would not just kock someone out, but a concussion most likely
