wise words

true sir!

I love these questions. I am a 6 year capoeirista and can answer these questions. My group is capoeira brasil. If you are in a roda, you are in the fight. there are three types of rodas: a game (pretty much sparring, except we do not follow through on hitting someone who failed to evade), a dance (this is the demonstrative side. both parties make it look as beautiful as possible for a crowd, being very flashy), and then the fight. the fight usually comes from a friendly game. it still looks pretty, but after being in capoeira for a while, youll start to sense the change in the air once a game becomes a fight. only sharpened eyes will see it. feel it. me and my friend, who stopped after 3 years and came and went for the next 3, would sometimes let our games evolve into fights. he sometimes would do something considered disrespectful in a game, or would check me for having my arms down (which is good, but you shouldn't do that if the person you are checking is a higher rank than you), and we would proceed to actually try and hit each other, going faster than the rhythm established by the music. I gave him quite a few bruises, and he nearly dislocated my jaw once before I kicked him in his ribs. it gets brutal. but part of our conditioning is to get kicked.... and about the room required, we train this. we are in enclosed circles, rodas. we can do these moves, yes even cartwheels and ariels, in small areas. but when demonstrating, a big long move is much prettier. the style was created to seem harmless to the untrained eye. it obviously did its job if you, a martial artist who can see the lethality in our kicks but not the style so much, were deceived. No move has a set response or a set counter. every move is an opening to another move, which opens up for an evade, which opens a counter. and any technique can be used to evade or counter your opponents moves. when playing, thinking on your feet becomes second nature, since tempo can change in an instant. a good capoeirista will not do a move he believes can hurt him. practically, a move is only performed if it is going to be of use. I wont do an unnecessary cartwheel in a fight if I can just do a low, mid, or high kick. I don't know the English name for the kick, or the portugese spelling. kicks are also hidden by other kicks and hidden by evasions, and the constant movement makes it easy to fake an opponent out. fakes are easy to learn, hard to master in capoeira. in my experience during a fight, I use a free form stance, and use capoeira to strike and evade.

+ItHitsAllOnItsOwn I've been practicing capoeira on and off for 7 years now, and when I took time off and returned after an injury I understood much more about it than when I was chasing after success blindly. Just like in Shaolin Martial Arts where every move you perform in training can (and should, though I'm not trained in shaolin so don't beat me up about saying this) be a meditation, in capoeira every move has a purpose. Like many other martial arts, the movements or training are not for the express purpose of "fighting" but to prepare you to become better at said martial art. That being said, Capoeira gets bagged on a lot for being "dancy" and using a lot of unnecessary movements. In any art, this is an incredibly ignorant thing to say. Music, painting, dancing, fighting, all of them incorporate an incredible amount of unnecessary movements if you loo for them, but if you practice a Martial Art you must see the benefit in discovery, otherwise I'd recommend getting a stun gun and considering yourself protected enough for the time being. For "in the ring" effectiveness check out Marcus Aurelio. "The Original 20 Second Capoeira MMA Knockout" should give you a good idea of what a capoeira mma fighter can do. Marcus has a very good record of pulling off sneaky kicks too! To answer your question about "stability throughout such dramatic changes in stance", I will say this. While it seems a little unnecessary for the fighting, practicing variants of floreio (flare/tricks) that require lots of core strength accustom your body to things it would otherwise cringe at the thought of. I was previously in Capoeira Brasil, and now am a part of ASCAB, and have been a guest of many many others, and in ALL of them, there is training that is VERY similar to yoga. This allows you to find power in stances you would believe unattainable. Transitioning between them fluidly can only be achieved with a lot of practice and then you suddenly realize it's not at all difficult to dodge a kick by rotating your lower half further than you intended a second ago to allow you to wrap your legs around his and grab onto his neck to bring him down. But without trying all that extra effort a few times, your lower back wouldn't be allowed to start that motion because it seems ridiculous! One thing that ISN'T mentioned often, as it might seem a bit crude to say, is that Capoeira is actually pretty young in comparison to many ancient martial arts (especially ones developed in Asia), and so it is seeing a radical amount of change at a quick pace, as well as a lot of criticism. For more, look into the (current) two core variants, Angola and Regional. Your questions are insightful so I meant to spare you any disrespect and hope to give you some insight from a different point of view :)

ItHitsAllOnItsOwn cub Swanson uses capoeira kicks frequently

Capoeira is constantly growing and adapting. My instructors don't differentiate what is and what isn't Capoeira. If it works and fits in the rhythm of a combination they will allow and encourage it as your personal style. However they will test and retest a technique to see if it is truly effective or if it will put you off balance or hurt yourself. I rolled out of a throw last week using an Aikido technique and my instructor wanted me to demo it to him after the roda (sparring.) I have also noticed that hand strikes are becoming more common but with a definite Capoeira style that I haven't seen in other styles. Thanks for being open minded.

I just wish it had more than one type of "stance". I love it and all, but I would think a low side kick and / or low round kick would be devastating especially if you waited until the guy put his weight on the front foot during the jinga.

The difference is the Capoeira practitioners here demonstrating and teaching the techniques almost never touched each other with any contact (except for some soft takedowns), let alone realistic contact for actual fighting. If the Kyokushin fighters were demonstrating and teaching, they would most certainly be applying their techniques with power and hard contact and showing its usefulness in a fight. Capoeira is still largely just a dance, same as Aikido in that regard.
