MMA - Capoeira vs. Kickboxer


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

The way modern capoeira is practiced is what makes it inegective. The whole point of "playing" capoeira with a person is exactly that. Playing means no contact, which means no mental fortitude or preparation against a full contact fighter. At my gym we spar every day which developes better reflex, strategy, and toughness. How can you land an effective kick if you're taught for years not to make contact? The practice explains for itself why capoeirastas don't perform well against fighters.

Lol, capoeira only works when you're fighting against someone else who does capoeira. Otherwise when you're dancing around you get beaten up by proper kicks and punches (and knee strikes).
