Capoeira
« on: July 26, 2018, 05:59:30 AM »
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music. It was developed in Brazil at the beginning of the 16th century.  It is known for its quick and complex maneuvers, predominantly using power, speed, and leverage across a wide variety of kicks, spins, and other techniques.

Very lively, esp when get two people at a high skill level.  Reminds me a bit of the martial arts skills orchestrations in China.

Wow, quite exotic. I am surprised to find anyone at this site who has even heard of capoeira; my compliments. Yes, it is very nearly dance and takes incredible coordination and strength. 
I've seen it demonstrated, and doubt it would work well as a martial art except vs another capoeira player.
