capoeira is not as easy as many people think, capoeira is taken too lightly. the conditioning and training is hard core, and effective. capoeira is evolving with the times. a lot of take downs and arms are being put into the training. rodas can be fun but can turn quickly when one is testing another ones game. id tell someone to find a good group to train with and see if you can hang with them.

real Badass
Measure a martial art by its effectiveness, not its age. Measure the effectiveness of an art by its living practitioners, not it's long-dead masters. Measure the practitioners by whether they lead a life worth living, not by how much ass they kick.

It looks like "folk dance" so the slaves could practice it openly, because ignorant Portugese slaveowners couldn't see how effective capoeira was and is. They saw someone with their hands tied together and didn't see a threat; when they woke up after getting kicked in the head, they couldn't understand how the slaves had escaped. Surprise and unpredictability is valuable, regardless of what martial art you use. When your opponent stops to ask "WTF?", you have an opportunity to attack.
