It's using dance like movements, so the other person doesn't know you're fighting, till they get hit.

This is the first time I have seen a good and positive video made by a non Capoeira practitioner

It's not the art style that will keep you safe in street self defence, its the competance of the practitioner. A good fighter (regardless of tyle) with experience in reading opponents and situational awareness is going to fair better than someone who isn't. Capoeira IS a beautiful artform though, the history and culture behind it is great.

Professor Malandro showcases why I believe capoeira is one of the best arts for learning how to escape a situation.

the best example and explaination of Capoeira i've heard thus far, good info.

As a brazilian I am happy with the gracious respect that our root cultural martial art are been treated. 🙂

That body sweep is in karate, judo, and kung fu too. (I think its also in Silat, but I'm not sure.) Its one of those universal techniques that every art includes because its so natural for human movement and it flows out of a situation that happens so often. The jinga step also keeps you constantly primed to pull counter.

Agree with the others, same type sweep in both Silat and Kali . Sometimes used like a shove as well. In the end all fighting is just physics and biology so makes sense we end up in the same place .

I know you can make anything work bc you’re a warrior. Capoeira and Silat have alot in common. Especially considering lower kicks. I’d love to know where fighting cultures met at whatever point in time. But I feel we’ll never know bc history is intentionally being erased. Martial arts are beautiful. The topic should be shown more attention. It’s where we all come from. We all decent from slaves and warriors. This fact should not be ignored. But pride should be shown for all. Not just chosen groups according to appointed fads.

This was dope to see the subtle ways one can use capoeira defend themselves and surprise an attacker at the same time. Well done 👏🏾👏🏾

This is very informative. You can see how good a teacher Prof Malandro is.

@Ricardo Oliveira I really hope that Brazil 🇧🇷 puts the infighting aside and puts the Combat version of Capoeira out front. This video actually made Capoeira approachable to me wanting to learn this. Normally Capoeira looks like the tricking version of Taekwondo. Meaning it looks like it could be only for the young and athletic. I really want to try Danmye Ladja and Capoeira now.

I've always liked capoeira as one of the best "sideboard" martial arts--which I hope doesn't come off as an insult. I mean that I wouldn't train primarily in capoeira for either self defense or combat sport purposes, but I would love to have a lot of its moves in my arsenal, especially for unorthodox positions.

I do Capoeira, but also did many other martial arts. Capoeira is great for flexibility, fighting fitness, body awareness. What it isn't good at, and indeed makes your regular practice a liability: you do timing with someone else (fighting requires you to break timing, not get a rythm); there is little awareness of problems of exposing your neck and head; it doesn't make you aware of rear attacks; the minimal grappling, while making you comfortable to have body contact, doesn't teach you any proper close contact grappling (pretty necessary in all self defense). Saying all this, I do think useful for training kicks, and indeed have used a bancao in self-defense, also if you're accurate with kicks, you can get a knock out. As a disclaimer: one-on-one fighting with punches and kicks is not self-defense, its combat.

@Alkis05

The rhythm thing is very dependent on how you train it. In my roda, we are supposed to punish people that are being too predictable. That is exactly when sweeps and other take downs happen. You are supposed to learn how break the rhythm with feints and missteps and variations. In a way, being rhythmic is feint. You are promising to keep it, but you have to be alert and brake that promise at the right time. As for grappling, you need to train with specialists, like it is the case for any other striker.

Great coach!

Capoeira is such a cool and unique martial art. I'd love to practice it one day.

18:07 - a higher-height variant of that ground kick would also be effective but it is at a smaller target - to the head, while you are on the ground, but you must snap your leg straight up to the head while on the ground to get that kick right. That kick is called an "escorpiao" or scorpion kick. Usually you kick on either leg, depending how good the leg is. Additionally, you can turn your back to the opponent in cocorinha (squat) with two hands on ground, wait for the opponent to come over you and then do the "escorpiao" to the face.

i 100% thought they were gonna spar then i remembered how powerful Capoeira is

I’ve been training capoeira for a while and I would like to say this was a great video! Vingativa part was very well explained. But for me I don’t think I would be able to pull off doing it against the punch. In capoeira training that move is mostly practice with countering an opponent’s kick. If the opponent has actual experience and can punch with good form, my untrained eye would not be able to react to it as that takedown. Chapéu de couro is probably my favorite kick. I also do think that this kick can be used in a fight. I liked how he was talking about faints for making the opponent flinch to a vulnerable position because there’s a lot of that aspect in a capoeira game (jogo) as well. He was a great teacher and I really enjoyed this video. Axé!

Wow great video Guro Kevin 🙏☯️😎❤️🌈🔆❄️⚔️🪨🔥😂💪👊🦶

People don't understand capoeira is a way to educate the body, to gain speed, develop smartness and fitness. There are very many tough capoiristas, but it is not because of capoeira, it is because of themselves. Toughness is a thing beynd capoeira.

what a good video

Capoeira has a lot of good to offer. Just like any martial art, it has its holes, but youre training athleticism in a combat context, with another person who is not standing still(at least in the games(roda)). The mestre my instructor learned under has a blackbelt in judo, so the takedowns were more emphasized in our classes. Though i wasnt really good at them, even though inliked them. To me, a lot of the standing movements reminded me of boxing, just more exaggerated. But really, capoeira movements are more akin to shadow-wrestling.

I would love to see bajiquan applications!
