Capoeira Videos

A classic between Roberval and his Contra-mestre; Anderson.  So much going on here, it's worth a few views...

A personal all-time favourite.  Shot in Bahia during the 80's.  This is Cobra Mansa: Liquid capoeira.

Here's Cobra a few years later, still deadly as ever.  Full of malicia and an interesting game for the mixture of styles from these two mestres

Another old-school clip.  This is Mestre Moraes with Cobra Mansa at a famous exhibition event in 1984.  Incredible for the extreme malicia, without ever losing the grace of movment.

Here's a game from a few years ago between Ben and our good friend from Itaparica island: Guaxini.

An amazing game I found recently.  This is Guaxini again, with Dija, one of the sons of Mestre Valmir.  Next level stuff...

 

Terrible sound on this one, but another great game with Dija and Rafael from Grupo Ypiranga de Pastinha

Two grand masters; Joao Grande, Joao Pequeno, Moraes kicking it on vocals. This is roots...
