Capoeira Demo

This clip is filmed on the cliffs of Arpoador, Rio de Janeiro (Arpoador is located between the famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema).

As far my knowledge goes, this sport was meant as some sort of fighting training, kept as a secret, to learn to fight free from slavery.
Hidden as dance moves, so the guardians wouldnt realize it would be a real martial arts training

A self defense dance that relayed hidden messages of strategy and preparation to defend against aggressors.

They dance, this is so beautiful. Thank you.

So this is what eddy from Tekken was doing
I didn't know it was a real sport/martial art

[tonysamsenthaikhambaoxaych]

I've seen a good amount of guys bring the capoeira heart and soul into a few cage or kickboxing matches and all I gotta say is good vibes the way how they just dance around a person wheeew 💪💛🔥 chyeeeeah maaahn 💯🔥

Eddy Gordo has finally returned in TEKKEN 8!

Absolutely genius martial art
Being the one on the receiving end of capoeira must be the most humbling and confusing thing in your life- He’s doing some sick dancing, I wonder wha”
And then boom! Your upper, lower, middle, jaw is no longer existent

[WhiteKoneko]

One of my favorite martial arts to witness. Also the music was very catchy~!

[daryneckert]

I practice this in Jacksonville Florida. It's so fun!!

[Elocin_Eiram]

I feel like I’m watching a non contact sport of Mortal Combat right now

[MizukiUkitake]

So this is what Aang and Katara are doing in that episode with the fire nation cave, right?
I'm so happy there's actually a name for it! Now I can actually study it for my novel instead of just improvising!

[WorriorXD]

This is how they fight in Tekken and Mortal Kombat❤

[mithril_mirth]

So cool. A good friend and I used to do fighting dances at bonfire parties all the time. Was a good time, miss that guy.

[JimLBon]

Looks really cool but to effectively use this as a combat art your fitness has to be top level.

[LeePearce-wqpv]

Rep.. Capoeira.
