Muay Thai + Gymkata > Capoeira

They'll teach any colour who wants to learn, bless their souls.

No I'm saying are the teachers like that guy in the video that was just posted black?

The instructor was black, thus ensuring his legitimacy.

Though the clip may come from a film rathar than real life, I think that it serves to illsutrate my point well.
On a side note, The film "The Rundown" also contains Capoeira, and is worth a viewing. I have a friend who has compiled several video clips of Capoeiristas practising their art, and I will see if I can talk him into borrowing it so that I can post them.

Bite me Capoeira supporters my Breakdancing takes out your Capoeira any day of the week.

I'll be back with a more constructive reasoned argument post with evidence (not of my Breaking skills) when I do the work I'm suppossed to do.

Although I appreciate your support of Muay Thai, Osiris, I think that you should also take into account that it is a movie. The main character always wins, no matter what their style or real life skill level. If the mein character were a Capoeirista, he would have knocked the **** out of the other guy.
I try to keep an open mind when it comes to other marial arts, and I think that most martial artists could benefit from doing the same.
Except Aikido.
