Capoeira Angola Street Defense pt. 1

Here are some clips from Forrest Park College in St. Loius Mo. We were invited to conduct a workshop and lecture on Capoeira Angola, and give an introduction to some of our principals on how to apply Capoeira Angola in a street, or self defense situation. The material covered here is just an entry and is not intended to serve as a comprehensive or complete outline of the Adigun Sipho system for street defense.

@ Maocapoeira, Im from the street in east oakland bra, are you from the street? If your from the hood you should know you get zero stripes, zero respect from talking crap from miles away. Now go away, and stop putting your foot in your mouth, or youll spoil dinner.

Comical

@ Maocaoeira. Bra seriously, I have posted video, with my name and face, you hide behind a code name on the internet talking crap from miles away. Truly laughable. This cyber thug, keyboard gangster thing you do is pathetic. You said this art wasnt useful in the street & you were wrong. I dont sell any "black martial art b.s" as you call it. However the root of the art is in Africa, so it is a black / african martial art, again you are wrong.

@ Maocapoeira, you are a funny guy. This clip was filmed at a university in st louis mo, not in the projects. We were invited to teach there. Where are you invited to teach? You make personal insults by claiming im not a "real caopeirista", calling me an idoit, & saying my jogo is garbage. There is no jogo in this clip. I have been training this art since 1988, where were you in 1988? I notice you dont have anything posted on your site. Weak! put up or shut up bra, your getting boring

@ ATACXGYM You have hit the nail on the head, every martial art has merrit and worth, the question is how does the practitioner aplly the science. Just as a hammer and nail are useful for a carpenter, these same tools are usless for the baker. I must agree with any martial artist / fighter who knows the true value of humility. Take what is useful for you, appy it as needed. I can only hope more martil artist take your approach of keeping an open mind, as good technique is universal. Peace

@ Maocapoeira. Are you suggesting that capoeira cant be used in the street? Perhaps the Capoeira you practice has no value in the street, to each his own. I personally know plenty of great fighters that train Capoeira that will disagree with your idea about the value of the art as it pertains to street defense. Elbow, head, and knees are commonly used weapons in Capoeira, and most martial artist will tell you that these weapons are very effective in street defense.

@ Maocapoeira. What exactly is meant by "capoeira wannabe"? Are you curious about my personal history in this art or just arrogant and full of hate? I understand that not many people have tried to explain how capoeira techniques can be applied in the street, but perhaps you have a lack of understanding about the art of capoeira and its history or various techniques contained in the art. Educate yourself in these areas then you may have an informed opinion.

@neterkeht1 Wasn't it created in Brazil by Africans who were slaves there, and not by Africans still in Africa? I've been reading up on the history and rituals of Capoeira. From what I've read/seen about it so far, its really interesting. I found a place that teaches it in my city.

I've decided once I get some extra money, I'll be going there to talk about enrolling in their class. :)

I really like that you made videos showing practical uses of Capoeira. I hope to see more videos from you.

Gotta say, the last combo was sweet.

This style would be especially effective against an opponent using a knife and/or stick.
