@MrSmaugliux because capoeira has two different two different groups. regional and angola. regional is like you see, flashy n beautiful movements,but yet they have deadly kicks also they teach both martial art side and the culture side. but angola just teach straight martial art.but both greatly teach you how to defend your self. its not showing off moves. ive witness capoeristas beat alot of martial artist, remember its not about theart, is the fighter,some use for the fight some other reasons

@steven10462 "you know you wont use it in a fight" so why learn it at all since Capoeira is martial art, so basically everything you learn should be of some use in a fight, other wise it is just wasting of energy and time...

Don't take it wrong, i aint being a hater. just as much as i can tell in capoeira there are lots of moves just to show off, but not actually crush your opponent, thats all.

@brandonalba16 capoeira brasil boaaa!! who is your instructor?

[steven10462]

@MrSmaugliux wrong. it is not a kick, it clearly shows you she is jus spinning, if you have common sense, you know you wont use it in a fight..i have 3 years doing this martial art

[MrSmaugliux]

Considering u don't get kicked in the back while doing 3rd handstand...

And i might not be professional but what is the point of the first one during the fight?

So basically u get KOed at 1:42 then get up and get KOed at 1:48. Beautiful but not most effective.

@chyguy I do capoeria in ny and I'm in the group capoeria brasil it's not that hard to move fast what I would recommend you do is practice a lot on your kicks and jinga at home. Also it depends on the flow of the roda and the music and your surroundings if you really want to go fast or slow.
