dark_adjudication Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 My understanding of Capoeira is that the African slaves in Brazil were not allowed to practice their MA. For self-defense they incorporated the techniques into dance to hide the fact that they were doing MA. If a CapoeiraKa kicked someone's butt in public while dancing that would let the cat out of the bag and the local authorities would crack down on those who practice. Like when the USA occupied Japan in WWII we outlawed the practice of Judo and Jujitsu because they were military techniques. We saw the Karate practitioners and left them alone thinking that it was a form of dance(they didn't spar back then). I would assume that the dances are like kata, containing a whole range of techniques. In the interest of conserving energy and focus on destroying the enemy one would not dance around in a street fight. That would be just as stupid as doing a kata in a street fight. Any non-moron would just use what techniques were appropriate to the situation. I saw that Brandon Lee move where he taught Capoeira to high school kids in Miami( I don't rember the name of the movie). I would think that anyone who danced in a fight like Brandon did would get their butt handed to them.

WC-Strayder Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Capoeira is, after what I have seen, basically for show and nothing else!. I sure ass he** won’t be standing in on my hands in a fight while I’m displaying my family jewels, that’s for sure!. What’re gonna do to the attacker, bite him in the leg while he is bashing our balls out off your pants?. Looks kinda fancy, but thats it!. And great for those who wanna play a drum, because U learn that too!. ) If the first lesson was a failure, then you know that skydiving isn't for you!

Kaju_influenced Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Thnx 4 replie wc and i somewhat agree with u however try to hit someone that can move like they can, i have practiced regional capoeira and true, its not the most practical fighting method however it does complement your already existing skills IMO "Sweat more in the dojo,bleed less in the street"Kajukenbo fighters axiom.
