The science of the art of capoeira

Volta ao Mundo

Your rating: Nenhum Average: 4.5 (32 votes)

In this capoeira clip it is all done in the air. In the second example Carla from Cordao de Ouro Ceara performs in sequence: meia-lua de frente, volta ao mundo sem mao, straight into a cartwheel then mortal. nossa! Translated volta ao mundo means - a turn around the world and sem mão means - without hands.

Interesting, i've never seen

Interesting, i've never seen this move with this name.

I mean, "Volta ao Mundo" for me is the anticlockwise walking in the roda. This move on the video the people that i know calls it "Suicídio"(suicide)

----

Massa, mas eu nunca vi esse movimento com esse nome

Tipo, "Volta ao Mundo" pra mim é o caminhar em sentido anti-horário, na roda, normalmente depois de uma queda brusca ou um atrito maior entre os jogadores.

Esse movimento no video meus conhecidos chamam de Suicídio

i like it

nice. glad you find them

nice. glad you find them useful and good luck with the hands free versions!

These short teaching video's

These short teaching video's were great and I really appreciate them. They gave me some new ideas to work on. I've been working out on my own. So far all the flips I've learned to do with one or two hands. Haven't progressed to 'hands free,' but look forward to trying in the not-too-distant future. By the way, I'm 68 and I've done Asian Martial Arts for years, Capoeira is new to me, but I love it!!! Nahu
