^ There is more to martial arts than combat. I was watching a video a while ago of a black belt demonstrating the behaviour of a simian in a dance (no joke).

You shouldnt always rip down martial arts all the time, their good for body and mind discipline. And there are some that can actauly help you in a fight, like Jujistu or Ninjistu. But this stuff? rip on it all you want, an average joe walking in with his fists up stands a good chance against these circus du soleil artists.

Landon, to most people I say, when you learn a form of Martial Arts you can rip on them all you want. To you I say, when you can move your fat ass off of the bed without the need of a crane, then you may proceed with your gay taunts. I've seen you on Spiked before haven't I? Ah yes...

capoeira was actually outlawed in Brazil for some time (i think it was from the 30s to the 50s) because people would put blades between their toes and slice each other to ribbons. (importrx7 ur right, I've seen that happen, the guy was knocked the fuck out)

yeh. this style is basically worthless. all the "moves" are readable from a million miles away because they're all full extension limb sweeps.

Ground and pound would be the easiest win against this.

Barring that a striker would just kick their arm out when they were doing a stupid handstand and watch them fall on their head.

how many capoeira fighters have gotten ANYWHERE in MMA Pride UFC?

There is a difference between martial arts and self-defense/fighting style. When I learned Pa Qua I only studied the art form of the style, it was more to strengthen you mentally and physically. However, there is another side of Pa Qua which isn't taught much anymore and that is more of a defensive form for pure combat. My father, who taught be the art form, learned the combat portion when he was in the special forces in East Asia and they are different in many ways. For one Martial arts is more a of display, sport and a way of life. A defensive style is one that is meant to mortally injure or kill your opponent as fast as possible.

So when people make comments about how a certain style not a martial arts they are a little confused on the term. Capoeira is by far one of the more interesting martial arts that I have seen since it is a true "martial arts" like Tai-Chi and Pa Qua.
