Martial Arts Festival - capoeira
Fun in the sun with the capoeira team. They always seem smiley and enjoying themselves as they sing, play music, dance and spar. Led by Pedro Albuquerque:
it does look like an uneffective martial art. But at the same time, each and everyone of them seems to have fun doing it and walk out of there with a smile on their faces.
Oh it can be effective all right, but the results can get mighty ugly - remember this demo? A higher standard (at the outset), but very ugly behavior later on (once things degenerated).

This looks great to watch but I can't quite get my head around it being a martial art - it looks more like break dancing! Still, looks fun!
You know,

That's something.
