A circular move cannot have the full body weight behind them, but I see what you are saying.

Dude what capoiera? He didnt do anything from it. There wasnt even a right stance , no ginga

Lol all you guys are going so deep into thought about this xD. Main point is. The cap guy lost and its mostly becuz he sucks. He hardly did the stance right. And he only does one kick at a time. Obviously he has very poor stamina.

This is the first fight i've seen where someone fight using capoeira, and i must say seems fairly good style for actual combat, though i would assume stamina takes an even bigger toll, that guy just seemed way to tired at the end compared to the other guy, and i don't think it was the blows

Also, the great majority of Capoeira attacks have the whole body weight behind them, accelerated from wide circular moves. Basic physics says, mass increases with speed, so if a Capoerista weighs 150 lbs, if his kick connects, you are hit with 300 lbs, accelerated times 3 from the centrifugal force, meaning you are hit with nearly half a ton of force. Accelerated to a higher speed, a full ton, although I do concede to the point that with such wide archs, if you miss you're screwed

Capoeira is extremely useless. Some ways of dodging a punch or a kick might be quite useful, but in attack it's completely useless. A lot of energy wasted on very little effect.
