  • That kid was all up in there... beatin' ass.

    Go little man! Go!

  • Actually. Capoeira was created in Brazil by slaves (from Africa). The practice of martial arts and the use of weapons was outlawed. To continue to practice and hone skill (eventually leading to a rebellion), music and rhythym was introduced to mask the actual fighting. The rudimentary foundation behind Capoeira was founded in Angola (Africa), but the actual martial art as we know it today is a Brazilian invention.

  • capoeira para estrangeiro ver...

  • This reminds me of my tournament days.(I haven't fought in a competition in a while since my teacher no longer lives in my city) I'd love to go to one of these festivals.

    I'd also like to learn Cap...well at least a few of the tactics. My I've been a martial artist for more than half my life so I that should make the training a little easier.

    Also...that little kid is really good for his age. Guess he doesn't have to worry about bullies if they're not wielding a gun. XD

  • im still waiting for the day hen somepicks a fight with a martial art expert on a night out in town.

  • none of it is a "rip off"

    those with the ability have their own style and emulate the moves

    just like styles of martial arts once imitated the animals like tiger, crane, mantis, etc.

    those that can do,

    those that can't critique and hate

    I can't do this, but admire this so much, same with bboys, same with all styles 

  • wow those guys are good all of them and that lil kid could prob fuck me up doin all dat shit haha but have u guys noticed that the movements of the white and blacks doing this seem a little different?its kind of like hearing mexican spanish and spain's spanish the black people seem more idk how to say it cause those white guys did their thang
