This is an interesting fight I have recently found. A Capoeirista fighting in a stand-up fight k-1 rules.

You cannot judge a martial art by specific practitioners who don't know how to implement it.
half of the people don't know about or have never seen the effective movements that come with capoeira which makes it just as effective as any other martial arts. I do capoeira myself and we train all kinds of different take-down techniques and grapple moves, sneaky ways of fighting. the capoeira you've seen isnt the capoeira that is gonna be used in a real fight.

capoeira doesn't "suck" the fighter just had delusions of grandeur and thought that he could bring a folk ritual into a real fight. not many capoeiristas are stupid enough to do that. it would be like someone brining wushu into MMA. (it won't work.)

Yeah, he looks tired -probably because capoeira requires you to move/dance constantly and have such huge flashy moves that wastes a lot of energy. his opponent can stand all day[while avoiding] so he can wait for the capoeira guy to lose all his energy.IMO, i think its inefficient

Yes GoldVision. Thanks for the history lesson. But according to the way things go today.....capoiera sucks. I mean really, let's cut the crap. Name one top notch fighter any where in the world who uses that shit in a fight.......yeah, I can't either. It's a great workout and very intertaining, however this video is a perfect example of how effective it is against a trained NHB fighter.
