Acrobatic movements of capoeira also known as floreio (flourishes). Experts can use floreio as dodging or even attacking moves in capoeira. See the below list of moves and tutorials.
For our second capoeira move tutorial allow me to introduce Instrutor Tico as he takes us step by step through Piao de mao, otherwise known as Handspin.

Yikes!! Super advanced capoeira move. At the time I hadn't seen this particular variation of Folha Seca Parafuso before and back in 2007 I didn't really understand it. Now I do...

A flying spinning capoeira kick called Parafuso leads straight into a twisting somersault known as a Mortal Americano. nice.

Getting a good Pião de Mao (handpsin) relies on a strong clean handstand and knowing what to do with the heel of your hand.

Butterfly twist is cientista's favourite acrobatic capoeira move. This sweet spinning matrix style move orignates from Kung-Fu and those guys do a lot of variations, into splits, 540 falling onto your front and even doubles - while wielding swords, poles or spinning metal chains.

This capoeira classic is also known as Palhaco, Xango, Pulo do gato [jump of the cat] and of course back-flip, flick, flic-flacs etc.

If you are into capoeira acrobatics then you should probably start with an Au Sem Mão.

This is the aerial, hands-free capoeira version of volta ao mundo - called tinsika in gymnastics. It is basically a cartwheel where you twist your body 90 degress to come out facing front, arching your back as you do so.

Relogio means clock as looking from above, you spin like the hands of one.
