capoeira CAN be deadly if practiced for the purpous of fighting. Ive seen it plied in fights and woa :D pretty cool stuff.

Ok, have u ever fought an american kickboxer? Its the same thing. The dance sets a rythm they can off beat when they want to get an extra hit in. the difference is that capoeira is much more lower and longer then american kickboxing. if they go for hand stands... GOOD hehe grab the foot break the ankle... go for joints ;) since they cartwheel a lot its different from tae kwon do where they stand up. Againts tkd you hit the legs, them, its the arms. then hell hace to stand so all the targets are open... have fun ;)

good luck if you take the challenge lose or win its a learning experience thast all that matters!

Peace!
