Naturally, this is my forte...
Have there been any other capoeiristas fighting in WCL, or do any of you have experience going against a capoeirista in WCL-style matches?
PLease, spare the the 'capoeira's a dance and dancers get stomped' please... I've heard it enough from other groups.
Looking for an honest discussion.
Thanks

| Why don't you try entering some tournaments that allow for alot of contact? This will answer your question. I practiced Capoeira for four years and absolutely love the art but honestly it's very tough to make it work in a fight. |

I know former D1 wrestler Stepeh Abas did Capoeira and he stated that it helped him in wrestling and shaping his "style" of wrestling.
Not an answer to your question just a side note. |

Yeah, there's another guy in my gym that did Capoeira for a number of years as well. He does a really good job of incorporating his Capoeira into his Muay Thai which makes it a very unorthodox style and very difficult to fight against. However, his style is a blend of MT and Capoeira with a little bit of boxing and karate thrown in for good measure. |
