martial artists are idiots...i've trained over a dozen different styles (including capoeira angola and regional) and concluded that people who take their own shit too seriously are just plain ignorant. MMA people are the worst example: somehow if it doesnt work in UFC they think it has no value. thats a retarded way of looking at it. by that logic, i guess i shouldnt learn to read since it's useless in the octagon.
that being said, great video!

3. To let you know, because I know, there was only one "real" or fight speed kick thrown in this entire game. Mestre Moraes, who is 57 years old, throws an armada at the very end without reservation. Watch again and see the hidden martial art.

2. Those "martial artists" who degrade Capoeira also must be novices. Even from the little I know about other traditional martial arts, I am aware they are about more than being able to injure someone else in a fight . The practitioners who only focus on this aspect of their martial arts would shame the ancestors who lived and died to pass the art on to them.

1. Capoeira was created in the struggle for freedom by slaves. It is empowering, not destructive. It was not created by one dynasties warriors to conquer another and as such cannot be judged by ethnocentric values. In other words other martial artists who don't know capoeira have no context to judge capoeira.

Wow, I was reading through the comments posted about this video and couldn't believe the vitriolic language used by other "martial artists" to describe capoeira and its jogadors. First, most critique it by calling it weak because it doesn't seem deadly enough, use enough force, or couldn't beat whatever style they practice.
If you watch and pretend to understand capoeira angola from a martial art point of view, sorry, you will never know what capoeira angola is all about.
It is not a sport, and it cannot be limited to a title of martial art, it is an ancient art of self defense, ritual, musicality, and spirituality combined, the beauty is to hide your cards, and not to show it all ever.

I was at that roda, that game was hype, the energy was so high, meste moraes went into some crazy trance, and for one moment during the roda, I felt like he was levitating.
