MMA - Capoeira vs. Kickboxer


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

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.

From what I've come to know, that's partly what it is, in fact. Most martial arts could be considered dances, but Capoeira is actually done AS a dance with others as well as a fighting style. But I dunno....That didn't seem like good Capoeira to me...He was staggering rather frequently, he seemed tired, and he didn't do a lot of the things most people doing Capoeira do....

I think i read somewhere that capoeira was formed so prisoners could practice martial arts without looking like it.
