shaheediyan Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 This Brazilian MA is excellent on many levels - I have friends who practice it. I will post some more info - but I will start off with 'what doesn't work' i.e. flashy! LOL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaheediyan Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Lol. That doesn't change anything - if it wasn't from a movie, then it would belong in a movie. Many martial arts today belong to the 'cinema' category - as they focus on what looks good, rather than what actually works. In Capoeira, one develops great arm and upper body strength, they have excellent wrist exercises, one develops excellent timing, distancing, opportunity identifying and waiting skills, as well as great awareness of the body. I wouldn't class it as a complete MA - but it's elements, if incorporated could certainly make you extremely dangerous, even against weapons. It's not just a matter of doing cool handstands in different positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
