I know nobody has been on this thread for a while, i have studied capoeira for many years now and have recently had the pleasure of training with Mestre Jogo de Dentro, Mestre Roxinho and Mestre Marcelo Caveirinha (eddy gordo) in Brazil. I agree with the guys saying "you can't fight with it"
However, capoeira is not just about flashy kicks and putting on a show, especially capoeira de angola, i have used the skills i have gained from capoeira in other martial arts, such as flexibility, agility, evasiveness, even malicia.
So, as for fighting purely using capoeira, no. Fighting using the skills gained only from capoeira, very effective.
