How Capoeira Shaped Ido Portal (Full Documentary)

Nice interview. As someone that studied martial arts for 40 years and Capoeira for 13 years I agree very much with how he expresses this.

Interesting interview. I've been following Ido's work for quite some time and was still heavily involved in capoeira myself as he was making this transition. People didn't like it and felt he was disassociating the physical practice from its cultural aspects. I guess one could make that argument however, I identified with what he was doing because I was doing similar---looking outside of capoeira for training methods to use with my students. It's nice to see he never bad mouths the art and I feel he still has a reverence for it.

You can die in any martial arts or sports.

I always hated this guy. He just stole movements from different art styles, without bothering to respect the background, foundation and culture of the moves and the martial arts or dance styles they came from, even changing the names to make them easier to sell them to the wealthy people who attend his 1000 dollar seminars. He was teaching the same moves any 50 dollar a month capoeira teacher could teach you even better. But I guess he has high charisma. Nowadays you see a lot very skilled capoeiristas also selling their art form as "movementcoach". It's a sad development in my opinion. I guess I'm one off the few people left that thinks that someone who is succesfull is not automaticly right in what they're doing.
