uberdesigner, go to Rio; look for a group of about five guys walking around with no shirts, Capoeirista pants, and Havaianas.
Tell one of them that their form of martial arts is inferior. You'll be on the floor picking your teeth up.

(Oct 2 05, 10:06)That's is right.. but it would be worst if he is in bahia where capoeira was born, it is a dance only when music plays slow, if done fast to you, I don't think you wouldn't even have time to laugh. unless you are like steve o and enjoy pain..

Deadly or not, capoeiristas look hot, get lots of chicks and can claim to be artistrs, dancers, fighters, musicians all at once legitimately.
Much cooler than most sweaty guy on guy martial arts...

I don't know much about Capoeira, but this guy most likely the best pure jiu jitsu cat in N America. Saw him run one of the Gracies out here in Vegas at a Grappler's Quest once. Unbelievable.

so you guys think that some guy doing a handstand and spinning around would be effective against someone with their feet on the ground and their dukes up

also, lets reconsider a second here; Brazil is probably one of the last places on earth u wanna be spinning around, taking your eyes off your opponent - if your in some shit with people down there, even if u were the baddest of the bad, when that dude whips out his nickel-plated 9mm, your gonna curse yourself for getting yourself all dizzy.

lol. yeah, its boooooriiing. i kick, you duck. you kick, i duck, etc. seems very repetitive. i have a brazilian friend trying to get me to do it, went down to the class and was out.
