"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Whats your guys take on Capoeira?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Come on, it looks like it'd be effective if used properly. A kick like that coming down with all that force looks brutal :O
It's cool as a lifestyle. Guys in Brazil will be on the beach surrounded by drummers and hot Brazilian chics cheering them on. It's not an effective system of self-defense, these guys wouldn't last a second against even a good wrestler, but it does look like a lot of fun and a great way to stay in shape and meet girls if you live in Brazil.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
capoeira is cool. I had some friends who were into it. Like everyone else said, dont take it for self defense, but it could be a positive thing to get going. I would only recommend it if there was a place to learn it near by that had a somewhat large amount of participants.

I'll take cumbias insteadMr. Wolf said:
99% of combat is shock and awe, this has buckets of it. I tried it for awhile, not really my thing, but it is fun and awesome. If you want to be able to fight take some form of Tae Kwon Do then anything else. It is the base and you can jump into practically anything after that.
Basically:
TKD=Raw, fight, kill, Win+self confidence you could win in a real fight.
Capoeria=Fun community, needs muscle to do crazy stuff and get coordination and balance, but is crazy cool.
The two though, are COMPLETE opposites (I speak from experience).

Any martial arts is good when used against someone not trained in some form of fighting discipline. Your average AMOG on the street might know how to punch and rassle (yes, I spelt it that way for a reason) but when it comes to fighting someone with a real fighting plan, they will crumble.
