the man not the style wins the fight

Geeez...everybody who says that capoeira is a dance, are just want to be able to do the half of what these boys can do...

You know, there are some really hard takedowns and stuff like these in capoeira. And if you try to kick/grab/punch a real capoeirista, you will realize that they can move like animals. You cant even touch them.

Capoeira can kick ass, and its much older than other martial arts, so at least for this, everybody should respect it...

@spongebobcritic94 It hurts more to get kicked by some one who days Muay Thai or Tae Kwon Do than it would some one who does, Aikido.

[spongebobcritic94]

Honestly, dancing won't get you anywhere in a fight, and to all of you who say it hurts to get kicked by these guys... It hurts to get kicked by ANYBODY who does martial arts. Hell if I kicked you you'd be out for at least a couple months

Love Capoeira!

i love capoeira it is actually hard and dangerous and i have been training for three and a half years and we do not kick each other on purpose because every time we do it hurts like a MF last time i received a kick it broke one of my ribs and left me for about 3 months out of combat so that explains why we do not kick each other if we were hurting each other how are we going to learn and practice being out of combat. that's my take on this. and trust me i have seen some guys getting hurt bad.

I've seen it in action, right in front of me. Trust me, it hurts, its powerful and is incredibly unpredictable. Also because of the training, they are incredibly durable.

What I like about it is that is not a martial art that just anyone can learn. It takes a lot of training to reach the level of endurance and speed necessary to apply it at its fullest.

but once reached, there is no stopping you.

im not sayin its weak , but compared to most martial arts it is , u cannot plant serious power through punches unless ur feet r planted firmly on the ground , u cannot kick as hard when u r using ur arms to elevate yourself off the ground , there are some kicks that r effective , but the majority of capoeira moves r more agility and speed rather than power , thats all im sayin lol

p.s ... i really do luv that country ( brazil ) .. its awsome ! .. so beautiful !

[cariocaturco]

I m all agree with u, except u think that capoeira lacks of power??? capoeira guys r really strong,

[mineshmphy]

i think all brazilian forms of fightin r awsome !! everythin that comes from brazil is awsome ! ... the martial arts , the dance , the sun , the beaches , the woman , the food , everythin ! .... brazil is the most enjoyable country in the world ! .... they have so many celebrations ! .... anyway , enough about how much i like brazil lol like some ppl r sayin , capoeria gives u agility and speed and flexabilty ... the only thing it lacks is power , but that is where the other martial arts help

funny, I've never seen one of those guys use a single move from Capoeria in one of their MMA fights....looked like Muay Thai and BJJ to me....
