lol.. so funny that video.. all the martial art wannabe's doing their best but can 't hit a dead mouse even if it's already dead.

Capoeira, any videos or  can explain, which kicks u you for which situation? Would you be caught offguard if a quick attack comes while 1 of your legs is extended to the back while doing Ginga?

I'm interested to know, cause there should be a longer recovery time for normal capoeira fighters after a big aerial flip, which the other styles will take advantage and attack.

Lol...Everybody has the wrong perception of capoeira. If a capoeirista sees an unavoidable fight coming(robbery, bar brawl), he finishes it by any means available. Anything goes. Classic old timers used razors hidden away. Flips and stunts are for showing off and performances only. When you come down to it, capoeira is probably a crappy martial art. However, the awareness and craftiness, the tips and tricks a capoeirista absorbs would probably make it one of the best self-defence arts in the world.

The ginga is a movement which enables the capoeirista to keep his weight constantly flexible. So, a quick attack would see the capoeirista just moving out of the way, and counterattacking when the opponent pulls back.

Hi El Sol... I have recently found interest in learning capoeira.. however i am 26 this year and notice capoeira movements are very fluid and swift... my only martial arts background is TKD... can i still learn this art of Capoeira even at 26? Thanx..

I've personally seen 40-50+ years old ladies in capoeira class. They do what they can.
And you don't get fluid and swift in a matter of weeks or months. It'll take you at least a couple of years to develop a decent game.
