every move has its use, some people just might not see it.

Or, some people can't do it, or just don't like it. I like the Caporiea stuff, but I can't do it, so its usefulness to me pales in comparison to what I know that I can do. I would still like to learn how, though.

yes every move does has some purpose. all the ancient masters wou;d not have invented moves to show off. the masterts were so into it there was no such thing as showing off so yes every move does has an effect wheater you know it or not

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

Actually, capoeira uses alot of elbows_and_knees. They are also notorious for headbutting. The flashy stuff is what's most interesting to watch, so that's what you see on tv. It also uses several takedowns.

I knew that they used some head butting techniques, and the elbows as well. The flashy moves of caporiea I think came about mainly because they disguised the fighting form as a dance, because they weren't allowed to practice a martial art by who ever it was that had enslaved them. (I think this is correct, isn't it?)
