  • OMG Capoeira is a dance. But its also a martial art. I hate all ppl saying "ouhh its a dance" and others "ouhh its not a dance"... people its everything!

  • @8455lewis that aint true.... capoeira was invented for fighting and was disguised as a dance.

    It was NOT a dance !!!

  • Wait a minute, capoeira isnt a dance, it was disguised as a dance when the black people were slaves, the ginga means balance, and sometimes succes in a fight,

    like mestre bimba did

  • @1Solifidesoulja The jinga dance is telegraphic. So personally no I don't dance. But I do use similar techniques in my roundhouse kicks. Capoeira is bloody awesome for fitness, flexibility, endurance, strength and a small amount of fighting. But capoeira on it's own does not succeed in the cage. So throw in a bit of Muay Thai, Jujitsu and a few others. Then you're sorted :)

  • @1Solifidesoulja The thing is capoeira is not just about fighting (or about pretending in front of outsiders to be fighting), I think people who force others to believe it's an awesome self-defence form are making capoeira look bad. But anyways, among other thins IT IS a martial art. In a street fight good capoeiristas would still sway their bodies a lot (not necessarily doing ginga), but its not dancing it's evasion, they would not do carthweels etc, just use basic kicks, punches and takedowns.

  • Damn... who was that guy?

  • MaDnEsS!!!

  • Oh ok man thats very cool.. so if u were actually in a fight.. u would just use the kicks right?? in order to either knock them down or put em out.. but my question is would u still be dancing?

  • @1Solifidesoulja well, what ur talking about is capoeira angola which is a style of capoeira, there are two styles regional like this one, and angola which is slower and low to the ground, keep in mind that this NOT a fight but a game of capoeira which is how we train and develop a sense of how to apply kicks, in a real fight we are trained to use those kicks to end it quick

  • @cacaman17 i believe its more for show.. 99.9% of fights go to the ground so there is no use in using capoeira..it is very sick tho i love to watch it..
