  • Capoeira is about respect, freedom and individuality!!! How do you fellow capoeirista even dare to say there's smth wrong here? There is no right way, only what works best for you in the moment you need it. Don't listen to the nagging old ladies typing here people. find your own flow. RESPECT!

  • His Ginga is done a little more messy than my teacher - we're taught that the hand must guard the face when going into negativa and when doing the ginga. Arm should cover the mouth/nose when doing the ginga.

    Other than that. it's COOL

    Concordo com voce, capoeira é para brasileiros e africanos, nao para gringos, pq ele nao começa uma dieta primeiro?? kkkkk é por causa desses merdas ai que nossa reputação suja la fora.

  • eso k la capoeira deloca esbasura

  • @jumper744 There are some capoeira sparring circles that are perhaps five feet across. Capoeira is about control, grace, and strength. Like any martial art, the better you get at it the less space you need to move.

  • Please correct me if im wrong, but it looks to me as if Capoeira requires a lot of space to move around in. I've never had to fight someone, but I would think that you wouldnt have a whole lot of space or time to work with, unless you had been training for a long time. I could be totally wrong, but after I get better at my style, I might look into Capoeria. It is very impressive.

  • This guy does a lot of things wrong... his toes are pointed out, which is bad because you can step on em and break em. Always have your foot flat when you do negativa... never pointed up...

  • @jorgefborges To describe to a "GRINGO" that is a very,very basic description!! Ciao

  • sua ginga e sua negativa esta completamente arrada!!!!!!!!!!! tinha que ter vergonha de fazer um video como esse !!! é uma ofensa para Capoeira e para os capoeiristas esse tipo de coisa.

    RETARDADO!!!! GORDO VIADO!

  • I would ove to se you do these movements and then talk.
