    Yeah, they'll never expect that. It's not like the front kick is one of the most basic techniques in capoeira or anything.

    Virtually everyone in my old class claimed to know "some" capoeira which mostly consisted of trying to hold a handstand for longer than two seconds. One guy eventually got it together to learn some more and then went to Brazil to study it.

    Did you kick him in the face when he tried to do a handstand?

    haha.. well if the guy is doing a handstand I think he'll have a hard time dodging a front kick.
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    Yeah, I think they might time that sort of thing specifically so they AREN'T handstanding there waiting for you to boot them in the laughing gear. That's like saying I'd whale some dude in the nuts when he's in horse stance.

    You should video tape this and post it here.

    Anyone got vids of capoeria in action?

    lol
    I'd have to sneak up on him when his practising his handstand then

    Seriously, if I sparred someone good at Capoeira I think I would be focusing on low kicks/sweeps or try to try to grab him as quickly as I can to throw. u?

    My game would be to get in close, throw them on the ground. When they started trying to do all the fancy spin around sh!t, id kick them in the teeth.

    Now THAT would probably work.

    Me? Well, my throws are crap, quite frankly. But I'd probably go with the same basic sentiment. Close distance. I know that capoeira does teach some headbutting, throwing, etc. But I really don't want to hang out at the optimal range for those kicks. I want to be as close to the center of that tornado as I can manage.

    But since I've never sparred a capoeirista, that's all highly theoretical.
