What style should I do next??

Stereotype maybe but my god that man looks like he'd do capoeira

One of my old rivals was obsessed with Capoeira despite being a Jujitsu specialist. He always said that whether people take the techniques seriously or not, Capoeira was excellent for building stamina, balance and speed.

This is sensei seths version of “I don’t dance” from High School Musical. Lolol

The "Capoeira: S-Tier" was beautiful. Really enjoyed the different content. I believe every art has something to contribute: from history, mindset, training, etc. You gain a real resect for it when you partake in it.

Now this is some varied content

One thing I can definitely say about capoeira is that the movements are pretty neat. Getting punched in the face is unpleasant and I'd prefer to avoid it... but doing cartwheel movements scare the poop out of me. Awesome video!

As a capoeira student, it is interesting to see how other groups do their movements. Where one group prefer to perform attacks from the parallel, others prefer to do them from one foot forward, one foot back parts of ginga. One thing that I'm surprised that doesn't get brought up when the benefits of capoeira are brought up is that one can develop the ability to become comfortable with fighting from orthodox or southpaw because ginga tends to switch a person back and forth between them.

I practiced Capoeira for 4 years, after having taking TKD and Muay Thai....yeah, it does look like a dance, but once you spent a couple years learning the ways to move around, it makes pretty damn good tactic sense! Thiago Marreta and Micelle Pereyra, on UFC, are both masters of this art. Of course, it is not meant to be trained for fighting purposes, but it does make a great agility base for whatever art you´re going into...and it also makes yoy very impredictible!

Really enjoyed seeing you try my art out! I think Capoeira is highly underrated, people keep focusing on the techniques, but that isn't really the point. Capoeira gives you flow, playfulness, the ability to read your opponent, rhythm, and body connection. The ginga is a stance but really, it's a stance that connects everything seamlessly, experienced capoeristas will have a ginga that can go for a while before going back to the default steps, if ever. I mean, any fancy capoeira technique you see is meant to be done in the roda. Going back to MMA and applying wrestling or Muay Thai techniques seems comparatively simple, when you consider the process of getting an acrobatic move and using it in the roda, you need to: 1. Understand the acrobatic move, in a kinesthetic sense 2. Get your body able to do the move 3. Get the move integrated so you can dish it out in the .2 seconds when you have the space in the roda 4. Understand when it's safe to do the move in the roda (at higher levels, people WILL make you fall when you do something obviously vulnerable. Whether they want to hurt you or not depends on whether they like you) We're talking about moves from macaco (one handed back flip/cartwheel hybrid) to au sem maos (aerials) or tornado kicks, or ground movements like cartwheels and their infinite variations. The body awareness to achieve the above is just next level. I also realize a lot of guys are so angry and tense when sparring, whereas I carry the sort of playfulness in the roda into my spars, which I think helps me learn a lot. Also, about half the time you get ridiculously sexy coaches. In general, capoeira has a very social culture and the class atmosphere is just fun and energetic. I honestly think it's a great art to practice, it's just kinda underrated.

A really underrated combo is capoeira and wrestling

I've grown up with capoeira I've been doing it for nine years now and Ive started to really appreciate how much expression and freedom and how many moves there are too learn and there really is nothing to master.

Absolutely insane!!! I just attended my first Capoeira class yesterday!! It’s so fun I can’t wait to learn more!

Sensei Seth be killing me with those pixelated double takes like "you guys seen that, right?" 😂

I remember making a fool out of myself arguing in college with a friend about why she would “fight” capoeira (the expression in Portuguese is to fight, not “practice” or “dance” capoeira) telling her it’s ineffective as a martial art, “what if someone grabs a hold of you?” She would just brush it off nonchalantly, “yeah, it’s just a dance”, when historically the whole point of capoeira is to fool outsiders into thinking it’s just a dance.

So when you struggled with saying my name in your painting video, it's my Capoeira name. So glad you checked it out, you did really well! I hope you stay in touch with this grupo and continue to explore Capoeira.

As a fellow Karateka and member of the rhythmless nation I feel you - the first time I tried Capoeira I was sore in places that I didn't even know could get sore. Awesome content!

i love this style, its history is why i decided to learn it, it may look like fancy flips but theres so much more to it, people just like to clown it.

I'm 21 y.o. and have done 14 years of capoeira here in Brazil. Although it isn't that effective as martial art, it's a lot fun doing it, and the cultural aspect of it is like the charm of the fight. Glad that you've experienced it and hope you liked.

I love that circular movement! Different weight displacement than what you see usually but the coiling of the body as you move from side to side sorta reminded me of the way boxers weave and use that bend motion to add more power to their next shot. Awesome content and love your eagerness to learn man!

Look into the English translation of Nestor Capoeira’s “The Little Capoeira Book.” It contains the original sequences/kata of Bimba’s Capoeira as well as grappling applications for most of the moves. Capoeira is predominately a wrestling system and needs to be trained as such.

I've did a year of Capoeira way back when, in the middle of my ~25 years of Shotokan. I credit a lot of my fluidity and footwork in karate from what I learned in that art. I applaud you for going way out of your comfort zone and putting it out there for your audience! What should your next martial art be? Another Capoeira class! :D

What’s really impressive is the balance and control of the really skilled practitioner.

Great video man! Um salve do Brasil. It's really hard for an outsider to see the power of capoeira and that's why it's a thing in the first place. Boa sorte na jornada.

Great video! maybe it would be interesting to have short summary of what you‘ve learned and your opinion about the martial art at the end. Just a thought, keep up the great work!

You actually did really well!!! Having done capoeira for a few years, this was really great to see. It's a very beautiful art with rich history. The mobility, balance, and fluidity that capoeira teaches definitely translate well to other martial arts. Keep up the good work!

Thank you! thank you so much! you know, i always saw a lot of non-brazilian people saying that capoeira is not a real martial art, that it is a dance, you know, but it have some deep roots in everything, even the dance. Is something cultural we all learn here, it's in all the history books, and here no one bullshits capoeira because we know its importancy to our history, to the black people history and to brazil at all. damn bro, serious, i love ur videos, seeing u "gingando" made me really emotional, lol. So, as a brazilian, thank you!

Sensei Seth needs to see two professionals in capoeira go into the circle. It’s amazing! Maybe a reaction video?

Only the strong can be doing Capoeira techniques this well on the first day.

Hey man thanks for doing this vid! L O T S of martial artists crap all over Capoeira without knowing anything about it and it honestly takes a lot to publicly give it a shot and experience it, so as a long time Capoeista I appreciate it.

Really interesting :D had me fooled at the beginning there too, but in your class' footage one can clearly see "disguised" sweeps, takedown points and a packfist ^^ even if it's not someones cup of tea, capoeira seems to really build athleticism, endurance and be generally fun with this musical part to it. got to say, i would very much hate go get caught with one of the more unorthodox kicks during sparring without seing them coming :)

I respect this so much. The fact that you decided to step out of your comfort zone and be willing to be humbled says a lot about your character dude. Well done.

Massive respect for this Seth! Takes a true martial artist to try out a different style of martial arts.

Capoeira sparring looks so fun.

I grew up next door to a capoeira school in Brazil. I got flashbacks of walking back from school, hearing the music, and smelling my grandma's cooking the second the music started playing. Maybe I should take up capoeira too 🤣

FINALLY!!!! I've been waiting years to see this happen! It's really meaningful to see people open themselves to Capoeira, so you doing so is no small feat. Thank you! You earned yourself a subscriber here

Awesome job Seth. Always loved how capoeira looked and how important it is to history.

Mano ... nessas horas que tenho orgulho de ser brasileiro... Ver um gringo tentando entender o jeitinho do Brasil kkkk

I'm really happy seeing you giving capoeira a chance, seeing people from other countries practicing the art from my people always brings a smile to my face

Seth “nervous facial expressions” are the funniest goddamn thing going..

I've always admired all the ways they had for getting off the ground. As for the next style I would like to see you try Savate. Wearing the unitard though I would understand if you passed on that.

Capoeira it was my first martial arts style. Everytime i visit my hometown i like to visit my capoeira friends and train with them (i do not train capoeira in any club anymore but i like to practice it sometimes by myself) even now when i am training karate and judo. In capoeira you can find many things. Those who want to sing or play on instruments they will find a place there... Those who want to learn flips or nice movements they also find it there... those who want to know how to kick somebody in the face they are going to find it as well. Capoeira have many faces any everyone can find something for themselfs : D Cool video and you did pretty okeey for the first try ; D

Capoeira is such a cool unique martial art. Not only the unorthodox movement but the history and culture behind it is so interesting to me.

So glad you got to play Capoeira Sensei Seth. I have been practicing Capoeira and love it’s history before Brazil and currently. It’s been an amazing journey for me. But I really love the art…the movement, the music, singing, drumming and all of the other instruments you learn.

Hey, big props on trying something very different. And, as a capoeiristra, you did pretty well. You have the athleticism, and good dexterity, and you even tried out the kicking combination in the roda on your first day!. Most beginners get stuck just dodging their first time.

This looks like they can have fun and learn a lot about movement and functionality. Don't forget about the social aspect. Now I can understand Capoeira better, thank you for the insight.

If nothing else, the physical ability developed through capoeria training seems amazing.

Seth is a real one, and a real black belt - understanding that learning is just the first stepping stone on the martial arts journey, and he's taking us with him for the ride!

Seth just mad at all the uncles who beat his ass mercilessly with Eddie Gordo in Tekken 3

I just thought that the one dude in Tekken fought like that I didn't know this shit was real!!

Congrats Sensei Seth! Really nice video and from what I have seen, you are the first one that talked about capoeira and tried it afterwards. Respect!

So cool! Thanks for trying for our benefit. I live in a rural area, but a Capoeira class just started and so I was curious

Loved the chubby surprise 😂 Much respect, you were out of your confort zone

Great effort mate, good to see you open to other martial arts. Would be great to see a video on what you can take from the experience?

Such a smart concept, one of my favorite things to watch.

Capoiera is one of the best martial arts - by far. Wholesome.

I'm from Brazil, where the capoeira came from. Capoeira here is more of a cultural thing than a martial art itself, and it's beatiful. I made Capoeira myself for 5/7 years, and you gain so much energy from it... And you earn so much stamina, flow, and imprevisibility... It's great actually

✨character development✨

JP has the vibe. Smooth! Well stretched and keeps balance and control over his body. Those forms look good!

I love seeing these sorts of videos from people with other martial arts experiences. We know our art isn’t practical for competitive fighting by itself. It’s value standalone is in enjoyment, beauty, artistry, culture, stamina, movement, and other aspects of life and fighting. It’s techniques can help competitive fighters learn tactics, strategies, and ways of moving and striking. Here we see someone realizing those lessons. Capoeiristas aren’t going to one day take over the UFC and win a bunch of championships. It’s just not gonna happen. But, there’s a reason multiple UFC champions have cross-trained in our art to enhance their game. Thanks Seth.

God, I want to try Capoeira now, it looks like so much fun.

I litteraly screamed "Nice man!!" at my TV when you did macaco lol.

This was so much fun to watch. Loved it.

Good for you for trying it out! Regardless of what people say about that martial art, seemed like a really cool experience.

I love how instinctively Sensei Seth is bending the knee while doing a spinning wheel kick, you can notice he has done thousends of them and it's hard to change the way he does them.

I'm loving Capoeira, you don't realise how rigid you are (even as a martial artist) until you start move and play. Well for me anyways.

It's so cool see all this guy singing in portuguese, I'm brazilian and my teacher told me capoeiras' song is always sing in portuguese, doesn't matter where.

Had a smile on my face throught this whole video. Nice to see you step so far outside your comfort zone.

Looks like that Carlos Oliveira become a mestre de capoeira after Resident Evil 3 Remake

Now you're really learning how to fight lol

I can't tell you how happy I am that you finally tried Capoeira. It's a whole experience that can't be understood until one actually steps into a Roda themselves. Another level of clarity is reached when you are in with someone who has mad flow and can just stunt on you if they want to, but they choose to play with you not against you. Then the level comes when they are trying to trap you and make you fall, or you have to play with aggressive people who crowd space and timing. You don't get to choose who jumps in, or when, and if you don't have someone to bail you out, you can easily end up in some hot water!!

I'm genuinely impressed but not at all surprised by how well you did in your first ever capoeira class as someone who's been studying, playing and teaching Capoeira for over twenty years now Sensei Seth. You picked up the fundamentals right away, you actually landed an au sem mau and a maccaco your first class without even slightly injuring yourself. Like Instructor Peruca said people spend years on those techniques. I'm still working on mine! and you played really well with a graduado cord using what you just learned in your first class. You went with the flow, took turns attacking and evading. Sure you had a bit of perfectly understandable but completely unnecessary nervous stiffness, but you definitely did very well, and have a lot of potential to become a solid Capoeirista if you wanted to. It's a great art to be able to pass on to your students, especially the kids along with your traditional Karate. Shout out to my new friend Cara Feca from Mestre Jelon's Grupo Luanda that I met at Professor Piao's killer batizado in Brooklyn just this past weekend too! Axe Galeira!

I hope you can implement/incorporate "mea lua de compasso" "pisao", "escorpiao", "gancho" "queixada" ,"banda", "rasteira", "tesoura" and "negativa". But you must admit that capoeira is quite taxing and a good way to train your stamina and flexibility. According to Ramsey you are chaotic good :D

After watching this I only have more questions 😂

Amazing job!!! As a mixed martial artist practitioner whose also learned capoeira , I’ve had a lot of fun integrating the movements for wrestling entries, coverage kicks and counter attacks, one thing I’ve noticed about most of capoeira’s kicks is that a number of other martial arts use them for the same purpose just less frequently, such as silat, old school savate, older forms of jiujitsu, some types of chinese martial arts as well as this type of karate called Taido!! We really adore how much respect and open mindedness both you and the martial arts community have for lesser known arts like this!! Please keep up the good work 🙏🏾 🫡 😊

i really loved this capoeira teacher, he is really really incredible teaching, from brazil here, liked so much!!

It's nasty how you can re-learn Capoeira just because someone that isn't from your group explains to another person. Thank you, Mestre Peruca, now I feel like I can do a Meia lua de compasso again! Edit: HOW CAN SENSEI SETH DO MACACO FIRST TRY, I TRAINED FOR MONTHS THAT😭

Music + Fighting + Magic Mushrooms = Capoeira

Capoeira Angola is so chill, I’m really enjoying this fun, playful, smart and musical atmosphere❤️❤️❤️

This actually looks like so much fun

Bro imagine being in a fight and your song stops😬

I wonder if you'd have had an easier time with Taido since it's got more of a karate base but you still get to have those ground interactions. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i79xi6WTncqRppc.html

You actually did really well. Nice work!

Respect for trying this out 💯

"When you can't fight, and you can't dance, so you just try and do both, poorly."

These training seem like an absolute blast

It's really cool that you did this. You have more rhythm than I do! Would love to see Juan Pablo again.

GJ Seth. Capoeira is awesome. It’s too physically challenging for most people but it’s so very cool and I think tragically underrated.

Finally! Capoeria being given the respect and chance it deserves! Beautiful!

Sensei Seth it is great to see that you are always challenging yourself and learning new things! Keep up the great work. At some point in the near future I would love to work with you in person.

I am from brazil so it is good to see things like that!

Brazilian subscriber here, great video man!

That was beautiful to watch. Great sportsmanship Seth

You are just awesome my friend!

his way of movement is so smooth, it kinda looks easy, but then reminds me of my training, which was an actual pain to learn

This looks like a lot of fun as well as a great work out.

This is so beautiful!! Neato, Seth. Ya did great, man. 👏😊

Love the songs too.. I know the song he was teaching.. one of my favs.. a good friend taught it to me.

Love these videos. This one was really entertaining.

damn this vid takes me back a few years. I've trained capoeira for a good 6-8 years (lil' fuzzy) and even had private lessons with belgiums mestre dende, and the Belgian spokesman proffesor amuleto. great to see this! my nickname is Puro. Loved this video ^^
