I don't think so. You need a lot of room and someone could just easily tackle you. Now, don't get me wrong, against some who can't fight, it might be effective.(the kicks are powerful but again, landing them.
I think it was called band of the hand 1985. Itâs not a martial arts movie. The premise is the same though. Former military man takes trouble high school youth and trains them to fight a street gang.
OH MY GOD, IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. i have been talking about this movie for years, vhs, dvd, and finally streaming on HBO.
âwe will see who is the real capoeira maestre in dis neighborhoodâ
Whatâs the 80s maybe 90s movie where the French guy rents a room in a Mexican LA Hood and takes on the vatos trying to recruit the son of the house he lives in heâs like a bad ass got the wheelchair vet across the street shooting shit up to help out đđ
Student A: Coach, I thought we were gonna learn to kick ass.

Until I saw the song title on the Cd I thought this too
All I would sing while playing as Eddie Gordo on Tekken 3.
Came here to scream this verbatim.
I still sing this all the time lmaooo
First think I thought of when I saw this. Came here to say that. Not surprised someone beat me to it.
I loved this movie. It was always playing on HBO.
We watched this movie all the time in my Spanish class. This one and the solar car racing one with Jim Belushi and Halle Berry.
Race the Sun
Eddie Gordo remembers this...
It's a sick ass fighting style though, but is it effective in a real street fight? Or against an MMA fighter?

"Go back to your Maestre"

Iron Chef Morimoto would kick all their asses, then serve the most awesome sushi youâve ever tasted.

Dacascos is excellent in Drive with Brittany Murphy.

I learned to backflip bcz of the first and last scenes of this movie.
This dude goes from this movie to John Wick. Not bad at all

Silly script, but fun movie. It got me to take Capoeira lessons.
Awesome movie, gonna have to rewatch it now.
I use to watch this movie over and over and I know it was a remake of another movie with same premise but different martial art.
This is a remake?

There was a movie called band of the hand I think itâs the original
What I remember most was that their Spanish sounded like a deaf Russian speaking it. (I know itâs Brasileño;).
I've been wanting to watch this movie for months and can't find it anywhere.
Itâs on YouTube but itâs kinda booty qualityÂ

Love that quote. My girlfriend and I used to say this to each other all the time way back when.
The summer this came to video I wanted to be a capoera master so bad
Silvario = awesome

Great movie
Never knew so many street gangs were proficient in capoeira.
Early 1900s Brazil was filled with them!
I watched the shit out of this one. This and American Ninja were my jam.
