I've always loved the idea of adapting Capoeira into a full ring fighting style, although from the number of knockout vids linked to the style I'm probably a bit late.

I do it in sparring from time to time. it is exhausting though.

Notice how nothing is accomplished. That is because nobody commits to anything, it's just playing around. The capoeira guy doesn't understand how to shift gears from the game in the roda to an actual fight.

And why does that guy not put his backpack down and take off his jacket?

Calling that a fight vid is being very generous. I appreciate how they make each other look pretty cool, though.

That would be why I qualified it with the word fun.

Am I right in thinking that the Jenga and spinning kicks lend themselves nicely to some pretty fluid circular punch/strike combos?

A lot of hand strikes go down the pipe.The jenga just hits good angles.
