i'm brazilian, and i know capoeira, it's more a dance than a fight.Thats why he can't attack the kickboxer so good

Yes, it was invented by slaves, but the idea that it was meant as a fighting ready form is unsupported

It is interesting to how the pros and cons of each martial art compare to each other, and better yet how a practitioner of one can learn new things from another art. Capoeira is funny because while people tell each other about slaves, there's actually no historical evidence to support that. And fi you look at capoeira in its original form, it looks like even less of a fight that today's version. Try searching capoeira angola

I agree. I think trying to find which style is superior is futile. All styles work in different contexts because they were all developed under different cultures and for different reasons. Many of the gracie videos would easily allow someone to argue that jiu jitsu is superior. But what if you have multiple opponents? I know I wouldnt take a fight to the ground.
