- Today I take some Capoeira lessons with my new friend Juan Pablo and learn some of the intricacies, techniques, kicks, cartwheels and culture of the Martial Arts Style Capoeira! Between my private Capoeira lesson and taking the capoeira class, we worked on the Ginga, some Capoeira Esquiva, some Armada, and Martelo!
If you want to get more information on Juan Pablo, here is his Instagram!

What style should I do next??
Two words. Krav. Maga.
@@Manny_Monke hmmm
Sambo. Rare yet accessible.
Hardly accessible haha
Slap boxing
Stereotype maybe but my god that man looks like he'd do capoeira
He’s insanely good
I came to say exactly that.
My god does this guy have the looks for his job. This man is rocking his aesthetic.
@@SenseiSeth Sorry again, but please check your references here. He seems like a nice guy, but he doesn't seem to represent the status quo of Capoeira judging from what the video shows.
@@ckoehler Also, never trust a guy who thinks he knows "the" status quo of capoeira. ;-)
There are a lot of different groups and styles. And the guy in the vid represents capoeira very well, showing signature techniques and even a sequencia de bimba.
@@cerotidinon Okay, I'll bite. Yeah, the diversity was exactly the point ... also there is no need to trust me (or you).
One of my old rivals was obsessed with Capoeira despite being a Jujitsu specialist. He always said that whether people take the techniques seriously or not, Capoeira was excellent for building stamina, balance and speed.
And it's fun! I tried at a group that only trained it as a dance, but resembled a game a little bit, not really combat-like, but it was fun!
works very well with bjj for helping fluidity of movement but also sweeps, the professor of the local Capoeira academy where I live also trains at the local GB academy rolling with him is terrifying.
I find their concept of 'malandragem' works very well in MMA.
I practice that or "angola" just from watching and mimicking eddie from tekken nd other capoeira practitioners and as a 240 pound dude that trains cardio above everything u r so right about that stamina god damn that shit is so tiring
Capoeira teach you the malice, you atack you enemy even down, you teach to know how to arrive and exit of anyone situation of the life, the part marcial of capoeira, the speed, balance and stamina is just a consequence of pratice this beautiful martial arte, the most important is the "malandragem" and teachings of the masters, im brasilian, my name in capoeira is "ANGOLEIRO"
This is sensei seths version of “I don’t dance” from High School Musical. Lolol
Hahahaha
Hahahahaha
Laugh out loud out loud
now he just needs zach effron
@@danielsangree2564 Don't we all? 😂
Now this is some varied content
Hope you enjoy!
The "Capoeira: S-Tier" was beautiful. Really enjoyed the different content. I believe every art has something to contribute: from history, mindset, training, etc. You gain a real resect for it when you partake in it.
I agree!! The art, in martial art. Thanks Jeff 🙏
Aikido
Exactly!
@@matejcevnik7362 ok, maybe not every art.
It's just a better version of tai chi imo. Mei lua de compasso is a ruthless kick from Capoeira. Plenty of KOs from that kick in MMA. Can't think of any other techniques that have translated well
One thing I can definitely say about capoeira is that the movements are pretty neat. Getting punched in the face is unpleasant and I'd prefer to avoid it... but doing cartwheel movements scare the poop out of me. Awesome video!
Haha cartwheels are dope. Thanks!
At 6' 8" I'd have to do cartwheels outside or in a warehouse...if I could actually do a cartwheel. Otherwise I'd be putting holes in the ceiling.
Ernest Miller from WCW used to hit people with cartwheels in sparring matches. Very risky. I personally dont think the risk is worth it.
@@realamericannegro977 basically turning your back towards the enemy. Spinning moves. Once the suprise wears off or the opponent sees it coming and ur fucked
@@realamericannegro977 non the less one of the most hard hitting kicks comes from capoeira. Certainly has its uses and looking sick doing so
As a capoeira student, it is interesting to see how other groups do their movements. Where one group prefer to perform attacks from the parallel, others prefer to do them from one foot forward, one foot back parts of ginga.
One thing that I'm surprised that doesn't get brought up when the benefits of capoeira are brought up is that one can develop the ability to become comfortable with fighting from orthodox or southpaw because ginga tends to switch a person back and forth between them.
Does seem like a good way to learn the other way you're used to indeed
We had an MMA guy cross train with our capoeira group and the 1st ting he said was that he felt comfortable and balanced when he ended up south paw back in his main style.
Really enjoyed seeing you try my art out!
I think Capoeira is highly underrated, people keep focusing on the techniques, but that isn't really the point. Capoeira gives you flow, playfulness, the ability to read your opponent, rhythm, and body connection. The ginga is a stance but really, it's a stance that connects everything seamlessly, experienced capoeristas will have a ginga that can go for a while before going back to the default steps, if ever.
I mean, any fancy capoeira technique you see is meant to be done in the roda. Going back to MMA and applying wrestling or Muay Thai techniques seems comparatively simple, when you consider the process of getting an acrobatic move and using it in the roda, you need to:
1. Understand the acrobatic move, in a kinesthetic sense
2. Get your body able to do the move
3. Get the move integrated so you can dish it out in the .2 seconds when you have the space in the roda
4. Understand when it's safe to do the move in the roda (at higher levels, people WILL make you fall when you do something obviously vulnerable. Whether they want to hurt you or not depends on whether they like you)
We're talking about moves from macaco (one handed back flip/cartwheel hybrid) to au sem maos (aerials) or tornado kicks, or ground movements like cartwheels and their infinite variations.
The body awareness to achieve the above is just next level. I also realize a lot of guys are so angry and tense when sparring, whereas I carry the sort of playfulness in the roda into my spars, which I think helps me learn a lot.
Also, about half the time you get ridiculously sexy coaches. In general, capoeira has a very social culture and the class atmosphere is just fun and energetic. I honestly think it's a great art to practice, it's just kinda underrated.
Exactly!
Nice comment! Thanks!
Personally, I always felt that capoeira was the martial art that gymnasts and dancers can relate to the closest, as they have a better idea of body connection and movement.
I do think that maybe people are looking at capoeira the wrong way, as it's immediately compared to bjj, muay thai or boxing, where you're trying to immediately knock out or tap out an opponent. It seems like the purpose of capoeira is the same, yet different.
Great explanation
@@RekonizeOfficial Indeed.
I practiced Capoeira for 4 years, after having taking TKD and Muay Thai....yeah, it does look like a dance, but once you spent a couple years learning the ways to move around, it makes pretty damn good tactic sense! Thiago Marreta and Micelle Pereyra, on UFC, are both masters of this art. Of course, it is not meant to be trained for fighting purposes, but it does make a great agility base for whatever art you´re going into...and it also makes yoy very impredictible!
From what I seen, capoeira is good to have as a surprise attack, I think Tony Furgeson used it for one of his fight, but not the main form or base you use or use it all the time in a fight situation. But definitely let me know if I’m wrong since I have seen Capoeira and not practiced it.
@@m.israel2209 check out marcus lelo aurelio
Exactly
Much like how gymnastics kids can get into whatever sport they want and excel, now capoeira is basically gymnastics specified for martial arts.
@@danielsales4902 Damn, well put! I’m stealing that for future arguments haha.
A really underrated combo is capoeira and wrestling
Ramsey Dewey has this as a advice in one of his videos, he thinks that it can be a good starter to get into grappling. Have not tried it but sounds logical
Jesus Christ loves and saves
Looks like it would go well with BJJ as well. Imagine doing cartwheels to shift your position.
@@prointernetuser A lot of Capoeira guys in brazil also do Lutre Livre which is Brazilian catch wrestling, I'm based in the UK and one of the guys who trains at my local gracie barra is the local Capoeira professor, he also teaches Lute Livre at his academy, he's terrifying to spar with extremely agile and strong as hell!
@@lewisb85 who’s that?
I've grown up with capoeira I've been doing it for nine years now and Ive started to really appreciate how much expression and freedom and how many moves there are too learn and there really is nothing to master.
Interesting. S. Seth learns it really quickly. It's fun to, perform a jumping spin kick and have someone duck under it. Where abouts? 😁
Absolutely insane!!! I just attended my first Capoeira class yesterday!! It’s so fun I can’t wait to learn more!
Dang! Twins
Sensei Seth be killing me with those pixelated double takes like "you guys seen that, right?" 😂
I'm 21 y.o. and have done 14 years of capoeira here in Brazil. Although it isn't that effective as martial art, it's a lot fun doing it, and the cultural aspect of it is like the charm of the fight. Glad that you've experienced it and hope you liked.
Capoeira: Not a great martial art but has some goddamn sick dance moves
@@jooot_6850 and a beautiful sport, good balance, rhythm and body control
Sim sim a arte marcial com o chute mais forte do mundo n é eficiente bem inteligente você em
@@jliano0 tem uns cara que não sabe o que fala né kkkkk pqp
@@jliano0 Eficiencia na luta tu vê no MMA e da pra contar nos dedos os com base forte na capoeira.
I remember making a fool out of myself arguing in college with a friend about why she would “fight” capoeira (the expression in Portuguese is to fight, not “practice” or “dance” capoeira) telling her it’s ineffective as a martial art, “what if someone grabs a hold of you?” She would just brush it off nonchalantly, “yeah, it’s just a dance”, when historically the whole point of capoeira is to fool outsiders into thinking it’s just a dance.
They appear to have used it to fight each other instead of the slave masters. I cant take it seriously as a fighting style. The hook kicks are serious tho.
the expression we use here in brazil is play capoeira. not fight.
@@realamericannegro977 stop spreading this lie
I would say, in that regard, Capoeira has been wildly successful :D
@@realamericannegro977 Based on what? Everything I read suggested otherwise ...
So when you struggled with saying my name in your painting video, it's my Capoeira name. So glad you checked it out, you did really well! I hope you stay in touch with this grupo and continue to explore Capoeira.
I've did a year of Capoeira way back when, in the middle of my ~25 years of Shotokan. I credit a lot of my fluidity and footwork in karate from what I learned in that art. I applaud you for going way out of your comfort zone and putting it out there for your audience! What should your next martial art be? Another Capoeira class! :D
Funny thing is I'm studying Shotokan and Capoeira currently. I go back and forth on both while practicing and working out. Plus I add some boxing into it.
i love this style, its history is why i decided to learn it, it may look like fancy flips but theres so much more to it, people just like to clown it.
That's Pure Ignorance. That's why they do.
I just dont see it as an effective combat form. I would take it to learn handstands.
@@realamericannegro977 the reason it doesn't look effective, is that its an art and tradition, to do these moves for the roda (circle), and this goes back to how it was developed by the angolan slaves of brazil, who had to disguise their training to overthrow their plantation masters.
@@nategrey8880 I have heard different origins for Capoeria but the more believable one is that they were fighting each other and disguised it as dancing in order to get into less trouble. They were too cowardice to have the ambition to overthrow slave masters. They weren't like Cowboys.
@@realamericannegro977 they werent cowardly, the Portuguese slave owners were the worst of all the european colonists. Anyways look into the historical figure "Zumbi." He was one of the earliest masters of capoeira and leader of a senzala. Anyways, Zumbi and his men, tied blades to their feet, took their machetes and reaper sticks, and slaughtered all the Portuguese masters, then liberated the senzala, where they stole all the gold and wealth of their masters and escaped into the amazon. Then, their senzala, would rob the Portueguese and steal from them and functioned like real life robin hood types. if you wanna see a reference of zumbi in pop culture, blanka from street fighter was loosely based off how he looked. a huge muscular black guy with wild dreadlocks who would swing tree to tree like tarzan.
Mano ... nessas horas que tenho orgulho de ser brasileiro... Ver um gringo tentando entender o jeitinho do Brasil kkkk
I love that circular movement! Different weight displacement than what you see usually but the coiling of the body as you move from side to side sorta reminded me of the way boxers weave and use that bend motion to add more power to their next shot. Awesome content and love your eagerness to learn man!
There is definitely elements to use or get inspired by. Yes. 🙂
As a fellow Karateka and member of the rhythmless nation I feel you - the first time I tried Capoeira I was sore in places that I didn't even know could get sore. Awesome content!
Great video! maybe it would be interesting to have short summary of what you‘ve learned and your opinion about the martial art at the end. Just a thought, keep up the great work!
Sure! Thanks bud 🙏
Really interesting :D had me fooled at the beginning there too, but in your class' footage one can clearly see "disguised" sweeps, takedown points and a packfist ^^ even if it's not someones cup of tea, capoeira seems to really build athleticism, endurance and be generally fun with this musical part to it. got to say, i would very much hate go get caught with one of the more unorthodox kicks during sparring without seing them coming :)
I agree! Was eye opening
I think this the correct approach to capoeira. Having fun with the acrobatics, the music and the gaming / tactical parts. There is a lot of stuff in it like the sweeps. They are not trained in a way that would work in a street fight. But it is immensely fun to try tricking the other one into running into a sweep while keeping up the rhythm.
@@cerotidinon I think capoeira would make a great base. Once you have capoeira down, and then you learn standard mma. Imagine the options you would have, you are comfortable with cartwheeling flipping kicks and sweeps that all come from out of nowhere and then can put them to use in sparring along with the standard mma stuff. Feints would be incredible too because it would be so much harder to predict what is going on. the variety you get from basically being able to put yourself upside down in the same location and still strike as comfortably as if you were standing would probably be a game changer. Shame very few people really bother with this and the only clips i see of this are like 15 seconds long and from 2008.
@@saadkayani There is some truth to what you write, but I would mostly disagree. When people switch from capoeira to mma, they have to relearn everything. Most of capoeira is completely unpractical in mma (Beware: MMA is not street fighting). Kicks like mea lua de frente or armada are too slow and do not have the correct angle to have sufficient impact. Acrobatic kicks are much too slow and have a much too high risk associated with them. The most practical "capoeira technique" would be a meia lua de compasso, but it is still highly situational since it is comparatively slow and on top of that it is seldom preferable to a spinning backkick.
One thing that people who only do capoeira for a long time often miss is how big of a game changer it is if the other one breaks rhythm or charges in for grappling. This renders most acrobatic techniques useless.
That said, of course the balance, the athleticism, the flexibility and the reaction speed are things you will get through capoeira and they will be very useful later on. However, you will also get this through e.g. muay thay but with the added benefit of getting techniques which are directly applicable. Therefore no one trains capoeira for mma.
And in my opinion capoeira is much better if you just accept that it is a game and do not pretend to be a good fighter afterwards. If you know your limits, you can excel at what you're really good.
@@saadkayani An addendum to the faints: They of course exist in mma and almost any other martial art as well. But they are much more subtle than in capoeira - and because of that they work. ;-)
Capoeira feints are just much more elaborated.
What’s really impressive is the balance and control of the really skilled practitioner.
Great video man! Um salve do Brasil. It's really hard for an outsider to see the power of capoeira and that's why it's a thing in the first place. Boa sorte na jornada.
Exactly!
Best point made
Looking ineffective (for fighting) was the objective for Capoeira
Look into the English translation of Nestor Capoeira’s “The Little Capoeira Book.” It contains the original sequences/kata of Bimba’s Capoeira as well as grappling applications for most of the moves. Capoeira is predominately a wrestling system and needs to be trained as such.
Ramsey Dewey mentioned Capoeira for wrestling.
Facts!
One of the scariest guys in the room at the GB gym I train at is the local Capoeira professor.
@@lewisb85 yes I’ve gone to Roda “ Capoeira circles “ and seen grown men fight it out and I’ve also seen the really evil moves very scary stuff
@@RekonizeOfficial His sweeps particularly in no gi wow, he's an expat Brazilian living here in the UK, he teaches Capoeira and Lutre Livra at his own school and trains BJJ (he's a brown belt) at the local Gracie barra. the man is a beast.
Sensei Seth needs to see two professionals in capoeira go into the circle. It’s amazing! Maybe a reaction video?
Only the strong can be doing Capoeira techniques this well on the first day.
I got the reference my friend. Very nice! XD
@@akebalanetzioni2204 pa na na hue......pa na na hue
You actually did really well!!! Having done capoeira for a few years, this was really great to see. It's a very beautiful art with rich history. The mobility, balance, and fluidity that capoeira teaches definitely translate well to other martial arts. Keep up the good work!
I grew up next door to a capoeira school in Brazil. I got flashbacks of walking back from school, hearing the music, and smelling my grandma's cooking the second the music started playing. Maybe I should take up capoeira too 🤣
Thank you! thank you so much! you know, i always saw a lot of non-brazilian people saying that capoeira is not a real martial art, that it is a dance, you know, but it have some deep roots in everything, even the dance.
Is something cultural we all learn here, it's in all the history books, and here no one bullshits capoeira because we know its importancy to our history, to the black people history and to brazil at all.
damn bro, serious, i love ur videos, seeing u "gingando" made me really emotional, lol.
So, as a brazilian, thank you!
Hey man thanks for doing this vid! L O T S of martial artists crap all over Capoeira without knowing anything about it and it honestly takes a lot to publicly give it a shot and experience it, so as a long time Capoeista I appreciate it.
Awesome job Seth. Always loved how capoeira looked and how important it is to history.
🙏🙏
Capoeira sparring looks so fun.
Its called playing
I respect this so much. The fact that you decided to step out of your comfort zone and be willing to be humbled says a lot about your character dude. Well done.
Capoeira it was my first martial arts style. Everytime i visit my hometown i like to visit my capoeira friends and train with them (i do not train capoeira in any club anymore but i like to practice it sometimes by myself) even now when i am training karate and judo. In capoeira you can find many things. Those who want to sing or play on instruments they will find a place there... Those who want to learn flips or nice movements they also find it there... those who want to know how to kick somebody in the face they are going to find it as well. Capoeira have many faces any everyone can find something for themselfs : D
Cool video and you did pretty okeey for the first try ; D
Massive respect for this Seth! Takes a true martial artist to try out a different style of martial arts.
So glad you got to play Capoeira Sensei Seth. I have been practicing Capoeira and love it’s history before Brazil and currently. It’s been an amazing journey for me. But I really love the art…the movement, the music, singing, drumming and all of the other instruments you learn.
FINALLY!!!! I've been waiting years to see this happen! It's really meaningful to see people open themselves to Capoeira, so you doing so is no small feat. Thank you! You earned yourself a subscriber here
Hey, big props on trying something very different. And, as a capoeiristra, you did pretty well. You have the athleticism, and good dexterity, and you even tried out the kicking combination in the roda on your first day!. Most beginners get stuck just dodging their first time.
I'm really happy seeing you giving capoeira a chance, seeing people from other countries practicing the art from my people always brings a smile to my face
So cool! Thanks for trying for our benefit. I live in a rural area, but a Capoeira class just started and so I was curious
Seth “nervous facial expressions” are the funniest goddamn thing going..
I've always admired all the ways they had for getting off the ground. As for the next style I would like to see you try Savate. Wearing the unitard though I would understand if you passed on that.
This looks like they can have fun and learn a lot about movement and functionality. Don't forget about the social aspect. Now I can understand Capoeira better, thank you for the insight.
Capoeira is such a cool unique martial art. Not only the unorthodox movement but the history and culture behind it is so interesting to me.
Congrats Sensei Seth! Really nice video and from what I have seen, you are the first one that talked about capoeira and tried it afterwards. Respect!
Seth just mad at all the uncles who beat his ass mercilessly with Eddie Gordo in Tekken 3
LOL
Loved the chubby surprise 😂
Much respect, you were out of your confort zone
Such a smart concept, one of my favorite things to watch.
Amazing job!!! As a mixed martial artist practitioner whose also learned capoeira , I’ve had a lot of fun integrating the movements for wrestling entries, coverage kicks and counter attacks, one thing I’ve noticed about most of capoeira’s kicks is that a number of other martial arts use them for the same purpose just less frequently, such as silat, old school savate, older forms of jiujitsu, some types of chinese martial arts as well as this type of karate called Taido!! We really adore how much respect and open mindedness both you and the martial arts community have for lesser known arts like this!! Please keep up the good work 🙏🏾 🫡 😊
Great effort mate, good to see you open to other martial arts. Would be great to see a video on what you can take from the experience?
If nothing else, the physical ability developed through capoeria training seems amazing.
I love seeing these sorts of videos from people with other martial arts experiences. We know our art isn’t practical for competitive fighting by itself. It’s value standalone is in enjoyment, beauty, artistry, culture, stamina, movement, and other aspects of life and fighting. It’s techniques can help competitive fighters learn tactics, strategies, and ways of moving and striking. Here we see someone realizing those lessons. Capoeiristas aren’t going to one day take over the UFC and win a bunch of championships. It’s just not gonna happen. But, there’s a reason multiple UFC champions have cross-trained in our art to enhance their game. Thanks Seth.
Good for you for trying it out! Regardless of what people say about that martial art, seemed like a really cool experience.
I'm from Brazil, where the capoeira came from. Capoeira here is more of a cultural thing than a martial art itself, and it's beatiful. I made Capoeira myself for 5/7 years, and you gain so much energy from it...
And you earn so much stamina, flow, and imprevisibility... It's great actually
I just thought that the one dude in Tekken fought like that I didn't know this shit was real!!
yeah man it's as real in Brazil as , I don't know, baseball for people in the US
@@charlesfieltesjunior4381 I should have realized this shit was Brazilian too those mfers are craazzzyy
Eddie gordo?
@@LilPW It was invented by slaves iirc, they couldn’t outright practice martial arts so they had to mask it by making it look like a dance. Also some of the capoera kicks are mad strong as in the power you can generate, if your opponent doesn’t expect it it’s probably really good.
@@pet3r387 Yeah man when he did that one kick where he got on his hands that shit looked wicked I'm sure you could mess someone up with this stuff. Also, the sheer amount of athletic endurance, strength, and flexibility you have to have to do some of the shit that man did in this video is tremendous. I couldn't compete that's for sure.
I'm genuinely impressed but not at all surprised by how well you did in your first ever capoeira class as someone who's been studying, playing and teaching Capoeira for over twenty years now Sensei Seth. You picked up the fundamentals right away, you actually landed an au sem mau and a maccaco your first class without even slightly injuring yourself. Like Instructor Peruca said people spend years on those techniques. I'm still working on mine! and you played really well with a graduado cord using what you just learned in your first class. You went with the flow, took turns attacking and evading. Sure you had a bit of perfectly understandable but completely unnecessary nervous stiffness, but you definitely did very well, and have a lot of potential to become a solid Capoeirista if you wanted to. It's a great art to be able to pass on to your students, especially the kids along with your traditional Karate. Shout out to my new friend Cara Feca from Mestre Jelon's Grupo Luanda that I met at Professor Piao's killer batizado in Brooklyn just this past weekend too! Axe Galeira!
I can't tell you how happy I am that you finally tried Capoeira. It's a whole experience that can't be understood until one actually steps into a Roda themselves. Another level of clarity is reached when you are in with someone who has mad flow and can just stunt on you if they want to, but they choose to play with you not against you. Then the level comes when they are trying to trap you and make you fall, or you have to play with aggressive people who crowd space and timing. You don't get to choose who jumps in, or when, and if you don't have someone to bail you out, you can easily end up in some hot water!!
I litteraly screamed "Nice man!!" at my TV when you did macaco lol.
God, I want to try Capoeira now, it looks like so much fun.
The cool thing with the increasing popularity in the past few years, there's a group/academy in many cities around the world
It's so cool see all this guy singing in portuguese, I'm brazilian and my teacher told me capoeiras' song is always sing in portuguese, doesn't matter where.
This was so much fun to watch. Loved it.
Now you're really learning how to fight lol
Plenty of ways to skin a cat lol
@@SenseiSeth 🤣🤣 who the heck skins cats these days, or ever for any matter.. (unless you are Chinese, i guess)
@@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA oops careful, lol my teen daughter works at a sushi restaurant, we live in California by the way, some African American punk came in and asked if they cook cats.

Woah woah woah, chill with the racism please. We already get enough of it directed towards us as it is, especially right now.

Looks like that Carlos Oliveira become a mestre de capoeira after Resident Evil 3 Remake
Seth is a real one, and a real black belt - understanding that learning is just the first stepping stone on the martial arts journey, and he's taking us with him for the ride!
i really loved this capoeira teacher, he is really really incredible teaching, from brazil here, liked so much!!
I hope you can implement/incorporate "mea lua de compasso" "pisao", "escorpiao", "gancho" "queixada" ,"banda", "rasteira", "tesoura" and "negativa". But you must admit that capoeira is quite taxing and a good way to train your stamina and flexibility. According to Ramsey you are chaotic good :D
I love how instinctively Sensei Seth is bending the knee while doing a spinning wheel kick, you can notice he has done thousends of them and it's hard to change the way he does them.
Technically if you plan to make contact with the other person doing that kick you want to put a small bend to cushion impact
@@moloney55 absolutelly, I think his techniche is way more effective. It's just not capoeira XD
@@lucasgarcia4193 are we talking the kick with the hands on the ground. There are multiple versions of capoeira kicks, those you intend to make contact with and those you don't(or your target is the head). For the former you bend the knee and/or adjust the angle of the kick to allow the bend.
Capoeira de show vs capoeira de luta
Love to see people for other country really learning and trying capoeira, its somenthing that tell a lot about our history, culture and its great for built stamina and balance. You will not use that ginga in a real fight, but trust me learning those kicks and having a good condition already put you above the average, great content Sensei! OSS!!
GJ Seth. Capoeira is awesome. It’s too physically challenging for most people but it’s so very cool and I think tragically underrated.
✨character development✨
I'm loving Capoeira, you don't realise how rigid you are (even as a martial artist) until you start move and play. Well for me anyways.
Love the songs too.. I know the song he was teaching.. one of my favs.. a good friend taught it to me.
Had a smile on my face throught this whole video. Nice to see you step so far outside your comfort zone.
After watching this I only have more questions 😂
It's nasty how you can re-learn Capoeira just because someone that isn't from your group explains to another person. Thank you, Mestre Peruca, now I feel like I can do a Meia lua de compasso again!
Edit: HOW CAN SENSEI SETH DO MACACO FIRST TRY, I TRAINED FOR MONTHS THAT😭
JP has the vibe. Smooth! Well stretched and keeps balance and control over his body. Those forms look good!
Love these videos. This one was really entertaining.
Music + Fighting + Magic Mushrooms = Capoeira
Don’t forget athletic strength
Bro imagine being in a fight and your song stops😬
I'd fold... hard.
This is fun to see - I studied capoeira for three years (about 10 years ago), and you did great for less than a day's practice. I'm now 5 years into my karate training (traditional Okinawan - Ueshiro Shorin Ryu, an offshoot from Matsubayashi Ryu), and I find my body remembering capoeira especially in the hips. In capoeira, we did so much "loading" of the hips, getting your core twisted and ready to release tension in the kick. Now, in karate, I find my hips trying to "load" in the same way, but much less visibly from the outside - more of an internal loading. A big contrast from cappy to karate would be that capoeira is big and flashy, where karate is tight and efficient. And dang, that ginga will get you fit!
You actually did really well. Nice work!
I wonder if you'd have had an easier time with Taido since it's got more of a karate base but you still get to have those ground interactions.

Always really interesting to see styles from other martial arts bases with a similar evasive premise to Capoeira. Cool to know about this, thank you.
@@smol_hornet613 I like it better! Capo's fun but you're always swinging to miss, but with Taido you're often coming right up the pipe and some of those rolling kicks hit like a truck. I've only been able to study visually but it feels really natural.
Taido seems like Capoeira without the fun lol.

Oof
I am from brazil so it is good to see things like that!
Como foi divertido o vídeo! Acompanho o canal e é linda diversidade em termo de lutas, sempre bom aumentar os golpes de diferentes artes marciais

Capoiera is one of the best martial arts - by far. Wholesome.
I like how you were so focused on getting the moves right, that you actually forgot that jenga has a guard. I think you did an amazing job overall for just 1 day of practice. I've been a dancer for 20 years now so learning the basics of capoeira wasn't really super hard for me (I'm not and never will be a capoeira expert though) but it's cool to see how different it is from a perspective of a martial artist with the same or even higher level of experience in their art.
It's really cool that you did this. You have more rhythm than I do! Would love to see Juan Pablo again.
I am so glad you decided to give it a try! While Capoeira is no kick boxing, it is just a lot of fun to do! great video
This is so beautiful!! Neato, Seth. Ya did great, man. 👏😊
You are just awesome my friend!
These training seem like an absolute blast
Capoeira Angola is so chill, I’m really enjoying this fun, playful, smart and musical atmosphere❤️❤️❤️
This looks like a lot of fun as well as a great work out.
Sensei Seth, I remember being arguably the 1st to call you out on Capoeira. Thank-you for Manning up and giving it a go. 😁😁😁😊😊😂😂🤣🤣
Sensei Seth it is great to see that you are always challenging yourself and learning new things! Keep up the great work. At some point in the near future I would love to work with you in person.
Good stuff! Really great to see all the cross training videos.
