I fought someone who is a karate Black belt and I am a green Chord for Capoeira... I won. Belts are Overrated:)

Reading description and these comments makes my brain hurt. It looks like some people have taken one to many blows to the head, is grammar and correctly made sentences a bad thing? But about capoeira its a beautiful dance but in real fight its really risky you have your knee joints open on bad kick and up career can be over.

tudo bem ta certo que este ai morreu foi uma falalidade mas capoeira e isto mesmo e luta e porrada e ginga e isto mesmo esta e a verdadeira capoeira

@Trav5280 Finally someone on youtube agrees lol I think Lyoto and GSP's Karate, Cung Le's Kung Fu, etc. proved that.

@theprinceofspain Excellent. Bruce Lee said when he started the martial arts, a kick was just a kick and punch was just a punch. He said, as he continued to train a kick became more than a kick and a punch more than punch. He said when he was done training and mastered it, a kick was just a kick and a punch was just a punch. lol..Yep. At the end of the day it's all about how you put them together.

@ace142 Capoeira moves are more deceptive than they appear to be. What appears to be a simple dance actually involves a series of blocks and evasions. This was quite appropriate for slaves because it looked like a simple pretty dance. However it has the ability to strike and protect the fighter from any angle. The force behind the kicks when measured on fight science are basically just as hard as most martial art kicks.

[Trav5280]

@Unjesue Yes I agree, I've had the same experience with Taekwondo Blackbelts. It really is about the proficiency and mindset of the fighter.

@ace142

It's low stances, versatile takedowns, and well delivered kicks and strikes make it more formidable than you think. The dance aspect is in fact as optional as Kata are.

@Blahb27 Capoeira's 'martelo' kick is a simple roundhouse kick, 'chapa' is side kick, 'bencao' is a push kick, 'ponteira baixa' is a front snap kick, etc. Capoeira just puts a lot of it's own kicks. My fellow kickboxers punches, elbows and spin kicks aren't even as strong as my normal roundhouse. Both styles are different yes, but how you use them is the important part. A kick is still a kick at the end of the day, regardless of art.

[Blahb27]

@theprinceofspain Almost the same? Mate, give examples, because I think they're about as far different as they can be. Capoeira uses spinning motions, kickboxing powers pretty much all kicks from standstill, and explosively. They're close to opposites than to being the same.

[theprinceofspain]

@Blahb27 When has a martial art ever been 'easy' to learn? Plus, many of the kicks in Capoeira are the same in nearly every other martial art. Just depends on the fighter, not the style. True fighters know that.

@Steilhandgranate I disagree, kyokushin karate is highly effective.
