52 Blocks and the Combative Origins of Breakdance culture

52 Blocks and the Combative Origins of Breakdance culture from MakeGoodTV on Vimeo.

This is great documentary and a rare glimpse at a secretive African American Martial Art. From my perspective it seems to boxing taken to its practical extreme, moving it away from its high rigid sport form and back to what it should be, a martial art! I like the blocks, defensive strategy and philosophy, also the angles are excellent.

Brazilan Martial Arts: Capoeira Sparring



After my Capoeira Knock Out post I did some more browsing and found this video of Capoeira sparring. Its very slow, deliberate and controlled, that way no one gets hurt. Also it helps strenghten the stabilizing muscles and increase balance.

Capoeira Knock Out in Mixed Martial Arts



This honestly the first time I've ever seen someone use Capoeira in combat in addition to actually knocking someone out with it! It really took me by surprise and its a pleasant site to see. Capoeira is an interesting martial art that I'd like to learn and incorporate in to my own training. I like the unpredictable nature of it and it will be the perfect addition to creating the Ultimate Martial Art!

In general Capoeira seems to always have been portrayed as just a dance and recreational activity/sport, but never as a combat sport. Which is understandably so considering the long history it has in Brazil and the stigma it once possessed.
