This is the official thread where you can talk about any fighting styel, weapon styel, and any other comabt related disscusion. I am planning on taking up doing Capoeira in a local class. Capoeria is the most invotive fighting styel I think there is. It the brazilian combat styel of dance. Its used in many movies such as Catwoman, Aeon Flux, Elektra, The Matrix, and The Protector. Although all those movies except the potecto use their oen type of Capoeira but still has elements of it in the movies. Its also used in many video games including Tekken, Aeon flux, and street fighter.
CAPOEIRA
Capoeira was inviented from brazilian slaves. The slaves practiced it even though they would be put to jail if they were caught by police. Back than there were no punches in the styel. Some belive that this is from the fact that people who practiced Capoeira were hand cuffed. If you watch it in action youll see the fighters doing lots of things with their legs and keeping close to the ground. They also do tons of flips and cartwheels, head stands, hand stands, back flips and spins.
Take a class. But I reccomend you should be very flexible. I am thats one reason why I may take it. It also is and very fun thing to show of to your friends and family. Google it, or you can ask around theres probably one class or club around your area. But if you cant find it its likely from the fact that Capoeira masteres are getting less and its not very common to see a class around, but look anyway.
WIRE-FU
Wire-Fu is most common in movies. Theres not really much to say about it. There tons and tons of movies that have wire-fu in it. Almost evry action movie does. Wire fu is when a actor actress or student uses wire to guide them to do a movie or over react the move that you are going to do. some movies wire fu is in is. The matrix, Hero, Aeon flux, Redisent Evil, Daredevil, Elektra, spider-man, well you get the picture.
