Capoeira and ribs

[Muaythaiboxer]

i like capoeira, great fun but (where i train at lest) the capoeristas get destoryed by just about anyone in sparring. it's such a good work out though! i just cant bring myself to quit

[SevenStar]

not where I am. they can hold their own. I've been kicked in the head by one of them - doesn't feel good. and they are very comfortable in the clinch.

that's been my experience. the guys i train with are wicked fast and super accurate. i wish i didn't have to choose between capoeira and hwa rang do, they'd compliment eachother very nicely.

 

is makulele like kali or more coreographed?

[Maddwraph]

im not too sure what kali is, but makulele is like actualy capoiera when your in the roda doing it. your facing the other person doing the moves you want to, and at the same time keeping at the rythym of the instruments playing. only in makulele that my class does, we dont try to hit the person as opposed to the actual capoiera.

AFAIK, combat Capoeira and the dance-fight-game Capoeira are not necessarily practiced in the same way, even though they are usually taught in the same club. Same moves, but different ways of doing them...

that punk kicked me in the face again tonight, lol. they are good guys to play with.

 

it depends on the style as well, from what I've seen, angola is ALOT more passive than regional, and the angola guys avoid contact more.

i'm doing omulu, myself, i'm not sure how that compares. i've had all of 4 hours under my belt so far though, so i'll hold judgement until later
