Capoeira meets Chinese Martial Arts 

It is sad this maestro didn't clarify that capoeira was created by slaves as a fighting style disguised as a dance. It was only considered a criminal thing after slaves started fighting back the Portuguese.

It makes me emotional to se cultural expression as a bridge instead of what we usually watch on the news.

I see people, connecting, smiling, appreciating, loving, that’s what it’s all about.

This cultural exchange between Capoeira and Kung Fu is so incredible. Brazilians should be proud of their rich culture country.

"The society nowadays is always labeling People. If you are not good to an extreme in this society, then you are not considered to be good." -Mestre Marcelo

"It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If your take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations will help you become whole." -Uncle Iroh

This is so beautiful, I'm so proud of my brazilian culture, that once was marginalized and now is shown to the whole world; at the same time I feel so blessed to be able to learn martial arts and experience different points of view… our world is rich and beautiful, and it's even better when we share our thoughts and lifestyles.

"As long as you don't give up, you never lose" Man I needed to hear that.

Great martial artists chilling and learning from each other without any ego. They are so well coordinated in their own styles which helped when learning something new.

Interesting to see that these masters left their ego and showed an open mind that unfortunately not all master posses. If only everyone tried to be a bit like this

Vídeo : sobre capoeira Legendas : inglês e chinês Português : eu sou vergonha pra vc ?

i went from Gung Fu to Capoeira as I moved from East Coast to West Coast. I love them both. This was very beautiful for me to watch. Thank you!

É maravilhoso ver esse tipo de vídeo! Eles trocando ensinamentos, Sem nenhum preconceito ou algo do gênero! Isso q a geração de hj precisa.

I’m almost crying. I’m a lover of cultures and to see this makes me so happy. These are joyful tears. Thank you.

This is exactly how I see martial arts. You have my respect.

MARAVILHOSA demonstração de como as artes marciais podem se comunicar e se ajudar, descobrindo e mostrando aquilo que cada uma têm de único e de melhor !!! PARABÉNS aos capoeiristas do Grupo Mandinga !!!

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art from slaves over five hundred years ago it’s called capoeira because the jungle they went to train in was called capoeira. It looks like a dance because for the slaves martial arts we’re illegal and they couldn’t practice it mastre Bimba made the first legal capoeira academy about 50 something years ago?

O verdadeiro princípio das artes marciais, nenhuma é melhor que a outra, ambas somam para o ser humano. Por mais vídeos assim no youtube.

wow, this is an incredibly beautiful video. I love the exchange between two cultures that are so drastically different, yet share so much in common as well

I read "We are incredibly proud to have been part of this!" in the video description and I felt so proud to had practice capoeira in my childhood after saw this video, to be part of it at some point after seeing the bridges that are being built between different cultures through capoeira. The capoeira as martial arts having a positive initiative to do it and being the tool to it. It's astonishing to see the connection between these two martial arts and it's incredibly beautiful to see the tenderness and warmth from practitioners of a so intense tradition-based martial arts such as Kung Fu towards this experience. An experience beautiful to see. I feel proud to be Brazilian right now and happy to watch an aspect very important of our culture such as Capoeira being able to something so beautiful, to being able to become the driving force towards this! Thank you, guys! Eu li "We are incredibly proud to have been part of this!" na descrição do vídeo e depois de ver o vídeo, senti um orgulho de ter praticado Capoeira quando criança, de ter participado, em certo ponto, depois de ter visto as pontes que estão sendo construídas entre duas tão diferentes culturas através da capoeira. A Capoeira como Arte Marcial tendo uma iniciativa tão posítica em fazê-lo e ser a ferramenta pra isso. É incrível ver a conexão entre essas duas artes marciais e incrivelmente bonito de ver a ternura e suavidade dos praticantes de Kung Fu, de uma Arte Marcial tão intensamente baseada em tradição, para com essa experiência. Uma experiência bonita de se ver. Estou sentindo orgulho de ser Brasileiro e feliz por assistir um aspecto tão importante de nossa cultura, como é a Capoeira, sendo capaz de algo tão incrível, sendo capaz de se tornar a força motriz em direção de algo tão lindo. Muito obrigado por isso!

1) I don't train in either of these styles, but I love watching them in action. And that goes for every other style as well. And 2) This has become one of my go-to videos to watch whenever the news gets me down, and when the world just seems so negative.

Encontrei um problema sério nesse vídeo> infelizmente, o problema desse vídeo é que ele acaba. Muito lindo

Mestre dunga was so wise and also like to fight, has an internal magic, when I went to china I couldn't believe an old wu shu practitioner saying the same things

This is amazing! Is there more? I really love martial artists just experiencing different Martial Arts outside their knowledge and just seeing how they connect their Art with the culture, history and even movements of the other Martial Art! More please! I love this! ❤️

Never compare yourself to anyone because the moment you do you lose.. Clear your mind,be yourself, be free & happy.

Que encontro maravilhoso! A humanidade ganha quando realiza encontros técnicos e culturais desses

3:42 little bruce lee over here just birthed a new style "Capo -fu" omg could you even imagine doing the katas 😳👏👏🔥

One of the most unexpected collabs than i ever saw in my life. This it's natural, sensible and humble. I felt extremely happy to see different cultures together and interacting... like the people wisdom says: "the wise man build bridges..."

AXÉ CAPOEIRA E A TODOS OS CAPOEIRISTAS DO MUNDO 😃👍 Sou de origem oriental,mas a CAPOEIRA foi a única que me recebeu de braços abertos,sem discriminação e tals,onde consegui muitas amizades com os capoeiristas! Tenho muito orgulho de ter treinado a CAPOEIRA 👍👍👍 Todas as artes marciais tem suas origens e suas histórias! Vamos respeitar cada uma delas,porque todas elas tem como objetivo a mesma função! E qual função é essa,será que todos sabem??? Um abraço a todos e fiquem na paz de DEUS😃👍

That's the China I'd love to see more : Open-minded, exchanging culture, and actually genuinely interested to share knowledge and to learn from the other. Such a refreshing breath of fresh air from their politics which is going completely the opposite way. And of course, it had to be coming from martial artists, practitionners of one of the best ways humans have found to communicate with each other.

My experience has been that if you, for instance, practice Kung Fu, and then study a bit of capoeira, your KungFu actually will get better. I had that experience with Aikido and studying Tai Chi for a few years. Suddenly, so many things in Aikido made sense. My teacher learned some Aikido from me and felt the same way.

1:28 reminds me of those cheap sound effects you get in those old Kung-fu movies. Kind of nostalgic

Parabéns pela humildade das duas Artes Marciais

Sharing each other with knowledge of different discipline is powerful.

AMAZING!!! So beautiful, the exchange of culture, language, and Martial awareness. I am a dedicated practitioner of Wing Chun for 29 years. This moved my soul to tears. Thank you so much for sharing. Peace and love

Muito feliz em ver esse vídeo. Já pratiquei capoeira, karatê e hoje sou praticante de Kung Fu estilo Choy Lay Fut. Em todas as artes sempre fui bem recebida e cresci. Por mais vídeos assim aqui no RU-vid. É o ser o humano, seu desenvolvimento, suas necessidades, suas vitórias. Parabéns a todos os envolvidos. Belíssimo trabalho!

Bah onde que está o botão de curtida infinita, nossa muito emocionante ver a capoeira junto de uma arte tão antiga, sou capoeirista e tenho orgulho dela, mas também carrego o respeito por todas as artes orientais, 🙏🏾 Esse intercâmbio deve ter sido algo mágico e sem palavras para mensurar a alegria de ambas artes compartilharem conhecimento. Parabéns

É MUITO LINDO VERMOS ONDE A CAPOEIRA CHEGOU E ESSA UNIÃO DE POVOS TÃO DIFERENTES PARABÉNS A TODOS

Great intercultural exchange of two completely different martial art practising human beings...…..the humanity is so diversified!!! :)

É lindo ver duas culturas tão diferentes se igualando e se irmanando através da arte.

Treinei Wu Shu por quase 10 anos, e sempre fiz treinos livres com amigos capoeiristas. Muito obrigado por postar esse vídeo. Excelente. Conteúdo e edição de alto nível.

Really nice video that I can relate to. I had my first experience with capoeira during an annual training weekend which my kung fu school hosted. Our teacher invites several teachers in other disciplines to give workshops. During the capoeira session we eventually felt the energy and rhythm in the capoeira circle and we were able to start expressing ourselves. Before I knew it, the Tae Kwon Do dude and I were showing off our kicks and tricks to each other. After that, we witnessed a breakdancer vs a gymnast. Best day ever! It was after this weekend I started training with people who did capoeira, gymnastics, breakdancing, Tae Kwon Do, karate, systema, BJJ and of course (other styles of) kung fu. My advice is: find yourself a place where people are open-minded to other disciplines, so you can explore how to fully express yourself. If anything, this video is proof that it's worth it.

I love how different people/cultures can find commonalities among each other!!! Love it!!!

Talented people enjoying life and reaching out to other people that live so far away. Beautiful to see Kung Fu and Capoeira interacting in such a harmonic way. Thumbs up!

"You can't jump forever." is an excellent quote and very true too. There is a reason why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is called the old man's way of fighting.

Que coisa linda kara, a União e o amor que teve nessa aventura todas dessas pessoas entre China e Brasil

This is such a beautiful exchange of not only techniques but also friendship. I'm sure they learned so much from each other. Very heart-warming video! Thank you!

So heartwarming to see the masters talking and laughing and sharing their experiences

Um dos vídeos sobre artes marciais mais bonitos que já ví! Mostra o quanto nós temos tanto a aprender com outras culturas! Muito legal! Parabéns!

We can destroy worldly ignorance and racism if one culture listen to the other. Martial Arts in general been the bridge of that!!!!

I’m very glad to see the students of different Martial Arts getting along so well and each appreciating the others’ arts!

as a brazilian who absolutely loves learning about other cultures and is a muay thai fighter, this is, without a doubt, the coolest, most heart warming video i have ever watched. thank you SO much for this, truly ❤️

É a arte marcial fazendo a união de grandes paises...

OMG...THIS IS SO AMAZING. I really felt a emotional banding. It's nice to see that different types of Movement Cultures are visiting each other. When the they start practicing and playing with each other you really felt the connection with these people!

QUE LINDO VER AS PESSOAS SORRINDO E TROCANDO CONHECIMENTO SOBRE AS SUAS ARTES MARCIAIS !!!! TODOS FELIZES COM A TROCA !!!!!!!

I cam across this video today (15th May 2023). A friend whom I train Karate with told me about a Capoeira class near to my home, and I am inquisitive by nature, so I hopped on the internet, and found this video. And to see two martial arts, just vibing alongside each other, makes me want to start both! Amazing, simply that, amazing!

This video was so refreshing! I love when people share their culture which one another💕

What a wonderful clip! Thank you so much, whoever produced that!

This is so beautiful. Thank you for creating and sharing it.

The art of fight without fighting, in order to prevent war and become peace. Simply beautiful.

As soon as you don't give up, you never lose 💪✊👊🤛 I practiced myself both martial arts and I discovered that they are complementary, sometimes you have to externalize your energy and both Tai Chi and Capoeira do that, in a broader sense this message is so important because perfecting and art is not to be perfect but to be better day by day for yourself... That phrase is Gold

muito importante esse intercambio e essa troca de conhecimento entre uma arte do ocidente e oriente, viva a capoeira uma arte genuinamente Brasileira. parabéns. M.Gibi Aclb de Escada-PE.

So impressed! Warms my heart to see the two style sharing with each other!

Its interesting to see 2 different styles of martial arts come together and learn from each other. This is really amazing!

Cara, foi muito bom o seu vídeo. Foi muito gratificante de ver esse intercâmbio cultural. A capoeira é muito completo. Parabéns!!!

Muito lindo .fico muito feliz em ver o alcance da nossa capoeira mundo afora. Bela integração Brasil e China .capoeira e kung fu! 👏👏👍☺

aww man that is just too good, seeing people meeting each other martial arts and talking about them is so beautiful

this so beautiful as an brazilien it makes me really emotional to see two very different cultura accepting and teaching eachother

Video muito lindo ... a capoeira merece todo o reconhecimento e muito, mas muito mais. Deveria fazer parte da educação escolar básica.

Learning from each other with respect to know a little more about everything around us is fantastic.

What a beautiful video. Such an amazing collaboration!!!! Thank you all. Love and respect 🙏🏼

É muito bom ver que em outros países praticam a nossa cultura 👌💗😍

This video is just... so amazing!

Aplausos! Esse documentário é muito bom! Na minha opinião, a Capoeira é o estilo de luta mais bonito, então é ótimo assistir a este vídeo.

It is so cool to see Kung fu and Capoeira students get along! We both have awesome things to show each other!

Beautiful! Wish I could have been there!

Me emocionei vendo esse vídeo! Um grande Encontro Cultural e Marcial essa é a verdadeira essência das artes marciais já lutei Muay Thai , Boxe , Taewkodo , Kung Fu , Capoeira a maioria em casa com vídeos aula e outra em academias e uma coisa que aprendi é "Seja Como Água Se Adapte " Como Bruce Lee dizia Todas artes marciais tem Um Legado Lindo para Oferecer A Nós Meros mortais porquê criar barreiras entre elas viva , Aprenda e Pratique !!! Como Dizia Bruce "A chave para Imortalidade é viver uma vida que vale a pena ser lembrada"!!!

This is so great, and made me feel so inspired. Especially the part about that your movement has to be fun, and that you don't have to be great to be good at something. YES!

Beautiful video with great, true masters. Salve Capoeira, Tai Chi, tudo mundo. Forgive my lack of Portuguese. May the force be with you all. Great to see Mestre Xuxo in here. He always inspired us in his workshops with Mestre Parente, Manchester UK. Axe.

The true Spirit of martial arts! I enjoyed this, I hope you continue these types of projects.

maravilhosa interação marcial, deveriam haver mais encontros assim de estilos diferentes

Good content. Very glad to see some masters sharing their skills and techniques for each other without comparison

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this incredible collaboration and revelation. Truly an amazing vicarious experience to give to your viewers. ❤❤❤❤

Esse vídeo me deixou emocionado. É lindo ver duas culturas se encontrando respeitosamente através de suas respectivas artes marciais. Um grande abraço aos nossos conterrâneos capoeiristas e nossos amigos chineses do tai chi e kung fu!

Sou Professor de capoeira e sei como um moimento como este é importante para essa cultura.

This felt so genuine and authentic, open, playfull and wise.

Wow this is just beautiful. Love seeing two different cultures love and appreciate each other and have a willingness to understand one another. Makes me proud to be Brazilian

This video has restored my faith in humanity and inspired me in so many ways

It was so good so inspirational and lovely to absorb, using martial arts to bring us closer. Wow simply brilliant

I have trained many martial arts, from Karate over Muay Thai to Kali/Escrima until I ended up at Capoeira and all of them had an inner beauty that often only revealed itself after the longer period of training! Thank you very much for this great video and the beautiful message behind it! To be open to new things, not to close oneself off to others, to share knowledge, love and passion for the things you do, to make friends, to train relaxed and have the joy of not leaving it out in the cold and to show it off and not to forget the roots behind the art! ^^ Muito obrigado!

This little film was absolutely beautiful. Seeing two cultures share and learn from each other is awe inspiring, something that would not have been heard of 100 or even 50 years ago.

Sensacional, conexão maravilhosa entre as artes, entre os seres.

I love capoeira and kung fu

THIS FANTASTIC ENCOUNTER WOULD HAVE NEED A ONE HOUR OR TWO of REPORT!! I can"t stop looking at it

This made me cry 😢 so awesome seeing 2 cultures collide in harmony. Its beautiful. The respect everyone has for eachothers art. The comradery. I loved every second.

This was a beautiful meeting of worlds

It's a trip seeing Kung Fu people doing the genga in China. I practice both by the way and other styles.

I love the way people 2 very different cultures were open to learning from each other. Excellent video.

so beautiful at the 6-minute Mark how they moved together and work together. Learning from each other.
