That's the first time I've seen capoeira used in a shoot fight.
Considering how cool it looks, I'm surprised that no professional wrestler tried to put it in their move set but after looking at that video, there is no way to "kayfabe" that and a person would have to take plenty of stiff shots.

The playful capoeira that you see was a game to appease their Portuguese Masters, the real version could fuck a person up.
shitttttttt i'm mad we couldn't get more martial arts movie using that style.. i would love to seen a black raid redemption.. or a city of god meets some martial arts shit
so far Tony Ja is the only film maker to really show it any love - everyone else just uses it as a novelty like monkey kung fu
yeah - UFC rules don't cater to this... plus he was hesitating and holding back on his attacks
but in a street fight - its a VERY effective system
Word?
Maybe by an expert practitioner.
If you could explain how I'd greatly appreciated cause all I see is getting choked out, ground n pound, or slipping and busting one's ass with that style.

3:08-4:54 baracka scene
them kicks is no joke..i kno a few that kno that shit..actually kinda mad i found out to late my last yr of highschool that they was teaching that shit..1 of my ole homegirls lil bro took that shit in our school..that nig fucked up a few cats by himself doing that shit.. you don't see them kicks or expect somebody to do it but if you the reciever
You would think that a good timing defense would nullify it at a high level of combat sports. If you have enough tape on a guy you find his opening and absolutely destroy him at the tail end of a missed kick. Timing (and quickness) would be key tho..
It's a movie called only the strong that uses that style.
thats what I was thinking..cuz alot of those wide kicks and spins looked vicious but if you take one or time it right...nite nite nigga..
Yeah...its the kind of shit you don't try if you only so-so with it...lots of potential to get real fucked up...but if you nice with it? kicks coming down hard from all sorts of weird angles...could really hurt somebody with that shit
Nah, the slaves just wanted to boogie, bruh.
Dude got plenty of energy
Damn forgot all about this web series... I'm surprised this shit didn't get picked up. It would be killing all the Marvel series on Netflix!!!
My ninja Eddy Gordo. Used to drive Tekken players mental every time I used him.
Too much energy expended, have to be in super human shape to do this. Looks dope though
Annah naway Annah naway
Seems like the type of style you'd step inside on. Then it's dreamland.
yeah i kno..that's kinda what made it known and why i always liked it..why i was mad i found out to late that they was teaching it at my school the last yr
that was their front in order to teach each other martial arts so that they could defend themselves during a revolt..make it look like a dance but in reality we learning how to kill you motherfuckers on the low low
I was being sarcastic. I thought it be common knowledge for those that know about capoeira.
I remember this movie....disrespected the style to glorify white boys in a martial arts film.
as a competitive sport - yes
as self defense not at all - there is no slipping because the system uses all movement into attack or defense- its extremely deceptive-
the leg sweeps and attacks to the lower body alone...
the offense and dance etc look flashy but the techniques can used in close quarters and defensively.
the counters are deadly - as an observer you have to look at it like drunken boxing to see the deception and leverage
to anyone that understands fighting -the angles are crazy - they move left to attack on the right, they retreat or fall to attack your head or upper body a jump turns into a leg sweep or ankle or knee breakthem kicks is no joke..i kno a few that kno that shit..actually kinda mad i found out to late my last yr of highschool that they was teaching that shit..1 of my ole homegirls lil bro took that shit in our school..that nig fucked up a few cats by himself doing that shit.. you don't see them kicks or expect somebody to do it but if you the receiver

Dude is a real life Eddy Gordo.

When I first saw this movie,I was like what martial arts style was this. I was just blown away, how it looked.
I show my homie this scene,he told me what it was and I made a promise if I ever made a martial arts novel or game I would put that as one of my fighting styles...lol
