i agree- from the looks of it all those attacks are NOT normal in terms of power. BUT (i don't watch Ufc)can you give the names of fighters who used this art as their Main/Primary fighting style.-Ufc will be much more interesting w/ capoiera in it
Any fighting style needs to be mastered in order for you to defend yourself or in your words kick the crap out of someone. Capoiera was used for by afro-brazilian slaves as a form of self-defense from portugese settlers so it wasn't supposed to be used only against people who used it. Of course like most fighting styles and martial arts today, its used mostly to train the body a make you more disciplined and as you mentioned before a form of entertainment. :)
If you took the kicks from capoiera and Tae Kwon do and the ducking techniques from ninjitsu and blended them with the punching techniques of wing chun, you'd have a deadly style and be a bad motherf***er
I like Capoiera, but it is useless as a fighting style IMO since, from what Ive heard, it is only meant to be used against others who use Capoiera and unless mastered or to some other extent, it would get they would get the crap kicked out of them by other styles. Though I would only see this as a way to train the body, and mind, or as a form of entertainment.
And once again, for the morons posting, learn facts first, Capoeira has had success in K1 and Ufc, so has tkd and just plain brawling, its all about the fighter, how experienced he is and how well he knows his art, i will say i think Capoeira mixed in with a punching art would be devistating

Thank you, thank you!
Not for defending the art(i do Ving-tsun, not capoeira yet) but for bringing facts and sense into this... thing.
I heard that capoeira teaches you to "sneak in the hard kicks" for whatever that might exactly mean...
(I´m going to learn capoeira from next year on)
