Capoeira Fighting techniques

Capoeira on Fighter-Arts.net
----------------------------
Speaking with Morçego (Anderson Da Silva) we asked about the effectiveness of Capoera in a real fight. He told us about the nasty rodas that happen often in Brazil, nothing to do with the peaceful demonstration we're used to see around.
We took this opportunity and asked him to show us examples of fighting techniques and some "dirty" moves (that are not allowed but happen in real Capoeira fights).

Someone practicing Capoeira would have no chance against martial arts that aren't "showboaty". Kenpo, Boxing, Muay Thai, Aikido, Kung-Fu, etc. could easily fight this style and win because they don't waste time dancing around. It may be fun and all, but to use it in a fight would be stupid.
And thank you for reviving a little piece of my faith in humanity. Unlike that other dumbass who doesn't know jackshit about MA.
Just because you act one way in a Roda doesn't mean you'll do the same in a real fight. Capoeira has almost all the same kicks (And a few more) as TKD, and it also has clinchwork and takedowns. I suppose you didn't even notice how the combat move he demonstrated was a roundhouse kick... A kick that appears in every striking art... Are they all inaffective now too? O_o
Just because they arnt used in competition doesnt mean they're not used in self defence. If you think thats not true, find someone to try and fight me.
Have you got any idea what a Mauy Taih style knee shot will do to a person if it hits their groin? Or a jumping elbow strike will do to the side of your neck?
They dont use them in competition because they kill.
capoeira for life!
