Capoeira Malandragem - Ass Kickers

Brought to you by http://www.sdcalamity.com

First off, I use to laugh at these guys for dance fighting until I saw what they were doing. A friend showed up one day with a black eye and he said he got brushed. That black eye was no brush, this shit is full contact! I took my camera and filmed these guy. No contact while I was there but they sure can shake it up.

Ive been at Capoeira for a year, and am getting the hang of the mea lua. I do it sometimes with hateful intent and the force is amazing. I see the others who are higher than me throwing them like lightning. I just imagine, like u said if you dont duck you're fucked!

Bottom line, Capoeira was 4 freedom from slavery like Krav Maga was 4 survival from genocide. I think they are the two best martial arts. Im secretly happy that Capoeira is STILL underestimated. Yeah sure, we're only dancing :P

Yeah, during training someone tried to stop a mea lua de compaso I threw... with his head! 3 stitches !!! Split his brow wide open! Capoeira is supposed to be a hidden fight ! It's not intended for you to see K.O.'s but once a good kick is thrown you better duck, it will break your arm if you try to block it. Some capoeirista's can throw a mea lua de compaso so fast, it breaks the sound barrier and rippes a hole in spacetime :-)

@un42n8karma Imagine a world where the dance with razors on your feet was just a dance, and your throat was not in danger.

Really! There is no good reason why that imagination should be impossible! But AWW SHIT! Here we are.

I lived in Rio from age 3 or 4 to age 13. Left 1970.

This stuff makes me want to cry. I didn't want to leave.

I don't recall seeing a capoeira exhibit. It was in the blood of the people. My U.S. conditioning was: sissies kick. My other conditioning is: this is some damn good stuff! The only real move I know as a non-fighting person is ...sweep the feet. Sounds like capoeira to me. None of this really matters. Imagine a world that didn't require you to know the best way to kill your neighbor.

Please have more respect as a martial artists. If there is one thing martial artist should come to appreciate in their sojourn is humbleness and respect. There are many high level capoeiristas who are excellent martial artist/fighters. Be more disciplined.....

For all those who are sceptical about capoeira and think it isn't a form of martial art rather than a dance, i want u to google this onto the youtube search engine and maybe it will make u see different about capoeira::: copy n paste ~~> Official Crazy 20 second Capoeira MMA Knock Out in HD Best Quality

No; Capoeira is a style of martial art developed in Brazil by African slaves of the Portuguese. It was based on african dance, because the slaves were forbidden to practice any form of martial art. Like most martial arts, it's grown to have a culture and history behind it.
