That's pretty awesome, chainer. I honestly never would've pegged you for a guy that could probably kick my ass with breakdance fighting. That kick seems like it's one of the most devastating hits if it gets a solid connection... Just the sound of impact on the video made me go "OOHHH!"

After watching the vid you posted, though, I've got a question: is the intent to just throw out a bunch of fluid kicks and punches with the hope that just one'll land (what I'll call from here on out the buckshot approach) or is it based in faking out your opponent with several strikes and only intending to actually hit on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th (etc.) strike? It seemed on that video like a lot of people were going with the buckshot approach, but I noticed they were also putting more priority on technique and form than just flat out trying to murder the person they were fighting.

Completely depends on who you are fighting, the nature of the song playing, and the level of aggression set by the person before you. As I said, that was only semi-contact, it was my first Batizado, the point was more to "prove" you could kill your opponent rather than actually try to do so. Generally this is done with showing them that you can easily sweep them, reverse them, or have found easy flaws in their technique - so yes, in the more friendly comps, it's a show of skill - you fake out your opponent with the intent of a sweep or strike coming after they misread your movement. That was back in 2006, now I play it a little closer to the chest hahaha

In that one in particular, it was a very friendly setting and it only got heavily aggressive when the Mestres came out to play. With the newer members (read: less than 5 years), we generally try to develop evasiveness and technique, then we will work on actual combat. Obviously it isn't a very hard transition, you just stop pulling your kicks and punches.

I've always done Capoeira for fun, BJJ for kicking ass. I just started up Brazillian Kick Boxing this year as well, but I still suck at it, besides having a pretty fancy pair of side kicks and spinning hooks.

That said, a Mestre at Capoeira is certainly a deadly person - but it's rare to see two people go "flat out" unless it's in the high, high levels of comp. Even in mid level, you avoid cheap shots, and focus on technique - if you land, it's because you were faster, smarter, and read the play better.

Wow I never saw anyone connect in Capoeira. For some reason I thought that was a no no. I saw some guys doing it in Salvador de Bahia, they go so fast I'm suprised there isnt more injuries. I love the berimbau sounds and drumming that go with it though.

A cheesy reggae song about the instrument

That blows my mind - I went to Brazil once for a couple weeks a few years back, and I always saw little gathering on the streets of Capoeira that was full contact. I was good enough to jump into the Rodha a few times but they always loved beating on the forienger. They were really, really hardcore in Brazil, it made the States look like total prep work.
 
I didnt see anyone get hurt but I only watched a couple of times. Like you said just random groups on the street. I didnt go and watch any comps.
Its awesome how the whole family gets involved- from memory the little one in the pink shorts there was just about to step in.


I wish I'd watched more now. Did you cop any bruises from it?
 
Several broken or fractured ribs, broken jaw (that one sucked) most toes and fingers broken/bruised/fractured, and some serious knee cracking occurs now whenever I bend them above my upper chest (high knee strikes). This has been over the course of several years, though. My face is still pretty and I have avoided any sort of boxer ears, even having done BJJ.

Only martial art I never got injured training was TKD, but I always took lessons for that in the US (Anctil's martial arts Center) and from what I gather (and have seen) it's largely a joke here compared to the real deal. Paying for belts, essentially. Sparing was always fun but we were never allowed full powered strikes and the pads you had to wear were out of this world.
 
I have a video of mine uploaded on youtube that i took while peeved out early one morning after a long night of acid. It features my deaf cat artemis meowing loadly at me while i do little lines of mdpv off cam. Its not super exciting...just tweaker shit.

Im baked like a cake tonight guys. I have to do so much readingggg for thesis, and then all this fucking typingggggg. I obv limit the about of weed i smoke in the day to maximize my working memory. I find that one thing cannabis does effect negatively for me is my working memory. working memory is the memory you hold in your brain for immediate usage like when your taking notes in class from the board, and you read a sentence than write it down, your using your working memory. mine kinda sucks anyways and alwaysss has(i hate taking notes off a board, i do better with lectures) and i notice that pot makes it even worse for me. makes it hard when your trying to remember the shit i read in these articles and reports for my thesis.

but at night. its time to just do some light reading and let the green burnnnn.
 
I got stoned earlier & went to the mall. I approached a staircase to walk up & all of a sudden, the damn thing started moving!! I had no idea what was happening & it kinda thru me for a loop!!
