A capoeira fight is usually conducted more as a demonstration than a bout of combat where the aim is not so much to decide the winner or loser, but to show off each player's moves. The video above is displaying much more aggression or 'malicia' than usual capoeira fights, and tournaments like this are more reminiscent of historical fights that were fought until someone was unable to fight on or conceded.

  • This is Muzenza fight championship

  • @mrwinner5 capoiera has many differant elements like fighting music acrobatics, youll be able to find out plenty about its purpose and history on the internet.Also there are differant styles of capoiera like angola and abolica.its a very stategic game.check out capoiera vs muay thai on you tube and that might give you an idea of what a good capoierista can do.

    this is was we call Jogo Duro. ''Hard Game''. It's still capoeira, but the emphasis is now on real contact and more of a fighting context. There are still subtle rules to observe in the roda during Jogo Duro, but that's pretty much it.

  • eddy wins!

    

  • @katice100 could you explain i really dont get it it looks like sparring but they are accualy fighting?

  • @thunderstorm997 Capoeira its half dance/half martial art!

    Why?

    Try to understand the environment: Capoeira was created by brazilian black slaves who lives in the giant collonial coffee and sugar cane farms. They were killed and punished for anything, so they covered up the martial art in some kind of dance (it seems like a dance, its really beautiful and its way better than this movie). This way masters won't bother they were training...

    Look for Capoeira MMA

    Salutes from Brazil :D

  • Hmm, it seems to focus alot on kicking, some kind of weaving kicks tbh. The rest seem to be merely support. It is a sound tactic as the legs kan pack more power than the arms, but the legs aren't suited for too close fights, meaning that they should use their legs to keep their opponents at a distance, no?
