this is a photo of Mestre Pastinha doing a movement that is not on the ground... Does Capoiera de Angola involve movements that are in the air???
Does Capoeira de Angola have moves that "fly"???

posts: 42 | If you meant "aerial" moves?
There is one by Mestre Cobra Mansa (not found elsewhere in Angola Capoeira.) It's simple. He jumps slightly forward with legs split, attcking with the crotch? and lands on arms and buttocks. |

you're a regional player aren't you born? That sounds like a very weird move, did it happen outside your head or do you have a little man crush on Mstr Cobra Mansa an his crotch attacks? |

posts: 42 | In the earliest video archives I have seen, Mestre Cobra Mansa has never shown the aerial move and it's obvious that Mestre Moraes (between the competitive student-teacher games) do not possess this trademark move either. It must have been a move evolved from his own visit to Africa.

Pardon, I do not have the video at hand. It's rare occurance. The other occassion in a video was legs fully split (aerial tesoura). I think he only performs the move half way without the twist to demonstrate that he has caught the prey. Similar to the regional tesoura. The important lesson here is that mestre himself often adapt new moves, even from the likes of regional schools.
The other possiblity is its an Angola version of voo-do-morcego, do you "fly?" |

It's probably just an over exaggerated jumping chapa de costa. You would do a small hop forward with your front foot and spin at the same time. This gives your back foot extra power for the chapa de costa while closing the gap from far away. You are aware that you can express yourself pretty liberally in a game of angola right (while keeping defense in mind of course)? You do get the odd hop from here to there simply because the players are "feeling" a lot of the axe. It's either that or they're trying to mess with your head. |
posts: 154 | Ooops, I was a bit late to check out Ejodudu's links. They're pretty good theories for the picture. You do see the odd jumping chapa and the angola voo do morcego from time to time.
Also check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiCUaQW66M0 There's angola balao's @ 3:09 and 3:56
and: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etZB1zbbglE There's one @ 5:50. They do chamadas during the game, so it can't be Bimba's regional. |
posts: 3585 | M.Cobra mansa "trained" regional for one year.. his game has less to do with that, and more to do with his way of naturally expressing himself. Heres a great example of Capoeira Angola from M.Caicara |
