Capoeira


Recommended Posts

Depends on how it's applied, because in the end effective fighting usually looks about the same from whatever "style" you learn. With that said, I don't see Capoeira teaching you all that much as far as combat is concerned, but dancing and stuff like that, yea, it sure looks cool and stuff.

I got to try a little Capoeira last year at a Martial Arts show (SENI, for those who know what that is). It was good fun and I certainly learned a lot. I'd say it was a martial art - when the advanced students were giving a demonstration it looked pretty darn deadly and effective to me.

As for learning it, it seemed to me to be a little like Aikido, in the sense that to learn it to be able to use it effectively takes many many years.
