Folha seca - TUTORIAL

Capoeira Moves:
- Capoeira Acrobatics
Capoeirista:
- Professor Narcelio

Here Narcelio takes us step by step through Folha Seca, also known as Chuta na Lua also known as Kick the Moon. Not as hard as it looks but then again not totally easy either. This is not a beginner move and before attempting it you should have Au Sem Mao at least and experience in jumping then falling right on your face and not dying or breaking anything. Practice on a soft floor under professional supervision otherwise don't blame me for your injuries.

Folha Seca involves kicking one leg so damn hard while jumping that you flip right over and land on the leg you kicked with. It's a bit like kicking an invisible football ridiculously hard. The arms come into play too, it's all explained in the video.

If you enjoy this tutorial show your appreciation - rate and comment!

Easily the best tutorial I have ever seen on Folha Seca. The Prof. (now Contra-Mestre) Narcelo demonstrates it, makes the move look attainable. Great tutorial.

fun

ta bueno pero si lo ago me rompo la cabesa

u gotta go for it

find a safe place like a foam pit at a gymnastics place and see if u can get some help. confidence has loads to do with it so if u can get that in a safe evironment first that's ideal

lmao i tried this move like 3 days ago by myself,Like half way through i think i chickened out lol and i landed on my face XD but i kinda knew it was gonna happen before i did it

This is going to help me out

This is going to help me out a lot. I worked on this move for a few months without a lot of success, but I was going for broke everytime and tiring myself out with a lot of bad flips (despite the padded floor). I'll try using the method here and let you know how it goes. Thanks man!

Is there a place where we can download this?

Nice one Luka

For sure. hit me up when you're back in Londres and show me where you're at. I'm training folha seca parafuso now. I manage to land on my feet most of the time!

Great tutorial!

Great video Andy, recognised your voice in the commentary. Really nice break down of the movement - will get practicing and hopefully be able to show it next time i'm back in London :)
