    i always thought it evolved out of a dance style.
    and it always seemed to me that it would be better suited as an art form much in the way tai chi is

    from a sparring/offensive/defensive perspective is it practical at all?

    excuse my ignorance

    • a capoiera practitioner would get owned in an MMA fightacescence
    • depends. there's a few capoeira heads in MMA that have done OK - Andre Gusman (IFL) and Jean Silva in the UKTheBlueOne
    • But it's not designed for MMA...TheBlueOne
    • tai chi is actually a martial art disguised as an art form/exercisemcLeod
    • true, mcLeod, but you got the gist of my question7point34
    • But if you want to learn a martial art for simple quick self defense, capoeira is not a good choice...TheBlueOne
