Man, those videos are very surreal to me... not really sure what to say other than I am totally puzzled what sort of rules govern this competition. It even seemed as though the rules dictate that when you get KO'd you have to do some kind of flashy twirl as you go down.

Well, it seems like they don´t HAVE many rules to begin with. Or protective equipment, or...well, pretty much anything else.
Still, bloody cool videos eh? Personally I had never seen capoeristas using capoeira for real.
And I am still waiting for a simple "Thank you, Oh Almighty WCL, for finding out some bloody difficult to find videos, we worship you with all our heart."That civilisation may not sink,
Its great battle lost,
Quiet the dog, tether the pony
To a distant post;
Our master Caesar is in the tent
Where the maps are spread,
His eyes fixed upon nothing,
A hand under his head.

I think its great that this group is trying to put the "martial" back in this "art", but it would appear, to me, that outside the "contact zone", for want of a better phrase, they use the sort of flashy kicks we all associate with capoeira, but once they engage, they revert back to basic round houses, and (kinda sloppy) palm strikes.

Looks like a lot of fun, breakdance fighting has always seemed like a cool concept to me. I'm just puzzled at how the "sport" actually works out as a sport... if that is indeed what they're going for.

Nice vid.
Full contact? Hmmm maybe for Capoeria?
I'm sorry when all but the KO kicks are pretty and kept at a certain distance, there are some type of rules.The hood mentality is crippling disease, that attacks your nervous system. It makes you nervous of the system. Gangsters and hood rats are especially susceptible to this growth stunting mentality. The hood is where I'm from, but it's not what I am.
