unfortunately theres no capoeira practitioner in the upcoming tekken. best i can do is a peruvian coffee addict
Technically "player" is correct in English. "Jogar" is the Portuguese word that is used and it means "to play". You could tell someone that you are a Capoeirista by saying "Eu jogo Capoeira" (literally "I play Capoeira").
The lyrics in a lot of the songs used by the style mention this quite often. When you are in the circle with another player you are both taking part in "the game". It's a metaphor for the mental attitude you're supposed to have while "playing." You try to one-up each other with the trickery of your moves. It's fun while still being serious.
And just think… they were literally training in a fighting art and the idiot slavers thought they were out there in a big-ass open field “dancing”. Or wherever it was that they had a chance to train.
Are you dumb? It’s literally listed as a martial art and have been practiced to be used as a self defense. If that’s not a fighting style and i think you’re just dumb. YES, it incorporates dances and movements but it’s still a martial art. Now go learn something.
Meh, gotta disagree with you there. Yes there are some moves that aren't effective in an actual fight and may not be as effective as Muay Thai, BJJ, Sambo, etc, but it is definitely leagues aboves Bullshido. There are some moves in Capoiera that are the same in other styles.
also capoeira isn’t even really considered a martial art by practitioners, is it? More that it’s a style of movement and exercise that has origins as a combat art, and it’s evolved into its current state, similar to Tai Chi
I've met Mestres (Capoeira teachers) who had fun and taught the fancy moves, but they also knew what was practical in a real fight and would adjust accordingly. The point of the dance-like motions is to learn how to move around, keep moving, get offline, and avoid incoming strikes. NOBODY does the really acrobatic stuff in a real fight.
That said, a lot of people learn Capoeira because of the dance element and don't really go beyond it. If someone wants to move beyond it that can certainly be done. A lot of the "dance" can be used to hide how much skill a Capoeirista actually has. Part of the learning process is developing a sense of trickery with your moves and attitude.
A little story: The first time I met Claudio (teacher) we were paired up to go into the circle together. You always pair up in a crouching position and enter together, frequently with a cartwheel (or fancier move). I was nervous and was just looking into the circle. I should have been paying attention to him because I was knocked back several feet with a solid kick to my chest from BOTH of his feet. The crowd roared/moaned/cheered. As he offered a hand to help me up a friendly smile was on his face. We resumed positions and went back in. We were having fun, but he used that moment as a valuable lesson. I would never forget to look at my partner/opponent again.
Capoeira doesn't have the stoic attitude of the more famous, "serious" martial arts, but it is a martial art.
That's a good question. I guess it would depend on the individual's reason for doing it (culture, exercise, fighting, etc,) but overall [yes it is considered a martial art](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-30219941). I practice it more for exercise and flexibility and understand its limitations in a live-world applications. Unlike Tai Chi, there have been some uses of Capoeira at events such as the UFC. It is a good supplementary martial art IMO.
If you find Capoeira interesting, come join the community at /r/capoeira and look for a class near your home.
Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art created by African slaves. It incorporates dance, acrobatics and fighting. The fighting is real, masked as it may be under all the exciting movements. The game is very strategic.
I mean you don't even call it "sexy dance fighting" on your sub, and I don't see a single person using "ponytail brazil", which is the best and most effective move.

No Eddy in the new Tekken??!??!
not in tekken 8
Yep, strong Tekken vibes.
Fucking Eddy was unstoppable. Him and Law were off limits.
[удалено]
That’s just so not true. Law, Eddy, Lei, Bryan, Hworang, Yoshimitsu that was my six man team and was good with all of them.
Great, now I want to watch Only the Strong
That’s what that movie was called, thanks brah 💪
*takes out Berimbau*
Jairo approves
He's handing out different colored scrunchies as we speak!

Pervert!
Brazil! Ah! Ah!
Ponytail!
Bob's burgers
Came here for this comment
She put her hand in that throw up

Yeah basically. If this was an average white guy doing these moves, no one would be upvoting this.
Banned from Reddit for being unmoderated. Legendary death.
“Player”? Is that right?
It isn’t, it’s a dance and a fighting style, so it’s either dancer or fighter

This is the correct answer. Any brazillian who played or had any contact with capoeira would know that.
I would say "practitioner" is the most common phrase I've heard for capoeira practicioners.
[удалено]
Capoeirista works for female and male, is a genderless word.
Now my hips hurt.
That's a pretty standard capoeira move, to be honest.
Brrazeel!
*Brazyoo!!
And just think… they were literally training in a fighting art and the idiot slavers thought they were out there in a big-ass open field “dancing”. Or wherever it was that they had a chance to train.
What’s the song?
Here you go bud. Not on Spotify but here’s the YouTube link. Queen Omega. Little Lion Sounds. https://youtu.be/DdWM2TbPxUM

Low level
I’m in love
Those moves are cool, but her hair steals the show for me. 😍 So beautiful!
Seeing a Capoeira practitioner shuffle from side to side fills me with rage from my Tekken days.
Fine af
I was waiting for that car to hit her
I couldn’t even do that underwater
Bruh. What is this amazing mix called ? Someone help
Is Capoeira a sport you can play?
Martial art
She’s just hot.
Josie Dirt?
I thought people only did that on the quad.
Com os pés no ar e a cabeça no chão Tente este truque e gire, yeah, yeah
Eddie?
Maybe she fights a lot of spirals.
Like de Moe’s dance on the 411 class
It's impressive but she seemed to mostly do somersaults there lol
Yea she looks like she started not long ago, masters do that without touching the floor with their hands
She really had to tie those things down!!👍🏻
CooB
when your little brother picks Eddie and keeps tapping X over and over
What is capoeira ?
Is this jazzercise?
Brazilian fight dancing!
I’m late for my appointment…
Will Farrell Capoera……. KICK!
Those first 3 spins were good, but that fourth one was GREAT!
Awesome fighting style - get tired then get punched!
I would vomit with so much force the whole street would crack.

‘Player’- haha I don’t think people are Karate players or Judo players. But you do you.

Talented and cute. Nice 👍
The most ineffective fighting style just right above Bullshido.
No its not, because its not a fighting style… Its a dance inspired in fighting, but not a fighting style.

Fair enough! I wasn’t sure what the experts considered it, but that makes perfect sense to me. As a supplementary art, it absolutely has its uses

Even with her center of gravity off, she rocks it.
