    Any Capoeira Practiniars here?

    Growing up with my dad who runs three karate school I have been surrounded by martial arts my whole life.

    I saw a few movies with this Brazilian martial art in it and I thought it was OK. Nothing to special really.

    But I saw a demo on Saturday in the street and I was completely blowed away. I loved how it combined dance, drumming, music, acrobatics, and martial arts into one style. It was simply beautiful to watch. The drumming was so powerfull you could feel agaisnt your chest.

    I would love to take lessons.


    Anyone do it here?

              Capoiera is beautiful, no doubt.

              But... Do you want to learn how to dance, or how to fight?

              Plus, chicks dig submission fighters.

                          I agree with Anthony, it's more of a dancing art. Then martial arts.

                            obviously you haven't seen it done by anyone who is skilled at it..

                                  It's dancing. BJJ is fighting. Anthony will destroy you.

                                        I used to know a friend in highschool that did it. The history behind Capoeira is really interesting as well.

                                        But as for myself, all I know is how to use Eddy Gordo in Tekken 3

                                            The movie Only the Strong had alot of that style of fighting in it.

                                                I agree with Anthony, it's more of a dancing art. Then martial arts.
                                                Every martial art is as effective as the person who is using it.

                                                      yeah that's why there's so many Kung-Fu and TKD guys in NHB. They all suck.

                                                      Invariably, people who know about martial arts and don't know BJJ fucks up everything else with great ease turn out to be Bruce Lee fanatics, Shaolin monks or Ninjas.

                                                        Not everyone takes a martial art to learn to kick ass in the ring, so there's nothing wrong with someone wanting to take capoeira.

                                                        However, I prefer to learn how to kick serious ass... MMA and BJJ all the way!

                                                                                      i have seen many experts in their fields get knocked the fuck out, just by tangling with some country boys who really like to get into it. The trouble is, with real life is you rarely get to choose the start of the "fight" unlike staged or ring fighting

                                                                                      word of advice when dealing with country boys or people from way up north is....they swing first and hard, long before you are even certain you will be in a fight. so be wary

                                                                                      i dont care who you think you are, if you get popped in the face by a 200lb male who knows how to throw a punch it is game over.

                                                                                        I saw a few movies with this Brazilian martial art in it and I thought it was OK. Nothing to special really.

                                                                                        But I saw a demo on Saturday in the street and I was completely blowed away. I loved how it combined dance, drumming, music, acrobatics, and martial arts into one style. It was simply beautiful to watch. The drumming was so powerfull you could feel agaisnt your chest.

                                                                                        I would love to take lessons.

                                                                                          Don't let people slam it calling it a dance... those guys will FUCK YOU UP. There are 2 forms really, a traditional one and a more modern and gymnastic one (what you see on TV).

                                                                                              2 of you still wouldn't equal one of me. Let alone my mad grappling skills!

                                                                                                  Don't let people slam it calling it a dance... those guys will FUCK YOU UP. There are 2 forms really, a traditional one and a more modern and gymnastic one (what you see on TV).

                                                                                                  Little known fact: The creators of this sometimes used razor blades when they battled and would cut a man to pieces.

                                                                                                  p.s. Anthony_A, I really could care less if you could beat me or not. I took up martial arts to learn to defend myself and to learn how to focus my energy in a positive way both mind and body.
                                                                                                  I didn't take it up so that I could challenge people and beat the shit out of them.
