There is a Capoeira school in my city that participates in MMA and they are using their capoeira to win in devastating fashion.

I don't even wanna know what that feels like. Gotta be one of the strongest kicks tho. Better than spinning the other way IMO, as far as power is concerned anyways. As long as you can control the momentum when you miss so you don't get KO'd, it can totally work. Not that it will always work. But he's doing pretty good with it.

Impressive, but the Gracies know how to deal with Capoeira practitioners so I just wonder how well he'd do in the upper echelons. Or at least beasts like Wanderlei Silva, Vitor Belfort, the Spider, Ninja Ruas, etc. back in there day?...
I was on the metro earlier, deep in meditation, when a ruffian came over and started causing trouble. He started pushing me with his bag, steadily increasing the force until it became very annoying. When I turned to him, before I could ask him to stop, he immediately started hurling abuse like a scoundrel. I performed a basic chin na - carotid artery strike combination and sent him to sleep. The rest of my journey was very peaceful, and passersby hailed me as a hero - Warrior Man
