Capoeira - Eberson

For the first time I see capoeira more like fighting style and not the dance-fight style. I'm not very interested in it but all I've seen till know it was more like dancing and rather poor quality. But this clip is awesome. You can see from the begining those kicks like from Street Fighter or other game. Very impressive!

Capoeira is the closest I would want to get to XMA... lol.

At least you could use most of Capoeira moves in a real fight... ;)

Eberson e o cara, joga demais e incrivel

got more aggressive towards the end lo

Why do people do this? What's the point?

@stevenpduck why are you so retarded to ask such a question?
they we do it bcuz we like it, capoeira is a game, a life style, just like skateboarding or everyother sport.
and ignorants like you are always so retarded and be comparing capoeira with other stupid fights

I didn't know it was a game. I wasn't sure what it was, because I have never seen it. That's why I was asking you piece of trailer trash.

And they will decide for themselves. Choice is good for capoeira and good for people.

Mastabiff,

If I came across as condescending I apologise. I'm just afraid that people are so egocentric that they all want to put their own stamp on capoeira at the expense of history and tradition. As a capoeirista I appreciate that change is a part of life, and so is a part of capoeira, but sometimes it annoys me when people think capoeira is just about doing flips and not about interaction.

As you said it's down to the style people do and their own preferences, so variety is a good thing.

No worries man. I'm glad that I managed to express myself in way that you could agree with -- it's a rare thing, particularly in this medium.

I think that incorporating floreios into a good, engaging game takes a lot of skill. I respect players a lot when they can do it. At the same time, I like the movements for their own sake, and think that the "practical" aspect of capoeira is a bit contrived. I think it is best concieved as a game. The evidence of its use in slave revolts is pretty spotty
