Have you started training again?

"Bencao" means "blessing", and it borrows from the push-away defensive kicks seen in several other martial arts. Bencao is like the Muay Thai teep kick.

I mean if you are REALLY good at it sure, but I think almost everyone would highly recommend something other than capoeira for self defense.

Taking a shot at this question as a non-caopeira expert and learning bits and pieces about this I can see a few points of interest that stand out right away. 1. Difficulty to use in narrow and tight spaces like hallways or cluttered rooms because of needing space to generate centrifugal force and power. It would be very easy to trip or get jammed especially if there are objects like chairs, rocks,etc. blocking your way. 2. Higher level of stamina to train and build the endurance to maintain the fluid motions versus fighting on your toes or feet. 3. Kicking essentially takes one or both feet off the ground and makes you more susceptible to being caught, thrown, slammed, etc. with training you can speed up your kicks but generally kicks are slower than punches so it is possible to be caught or jammed; the caveat with this style is the footwork and attack is very hard to predict, especially for an untrained eye so it may matter less. 4. Striking surface, probably not something you'll hear often but it may not be evident or clear for a beginner what part of the foot you should be striking with so you can create proper impact instead of breaks your toes. 5. Accuracy which if you miss your strike with your first kick/feint and second kick it seems you're quite exposed to being tackled. You have to really know your distance quite well which will take some time. 6. Surface- it's unlikely you would want to do this on slick surfaces or in the rain as it would greatly increase the difficulty of maintaining fluid footwork and kicking. Obviously I'm not here to bash the style as I believe it is great for developing your fast twitch muscles, agility, and coordination and other benefits I have yet to learn but it would likely take longer to weaponize this martial art than something like boxing or muay thai.
