great mechanical tutorial, i need space to practise but great vid.

Is this practical in mma? It looks like you could easily get swept of that grounded foot but I’m certain abt that

I thought that "Martel do Negativa" is the most powerfull kick in Capoeira.Sorry if I spelled it wrong.Great video.

Negativa de Martello or S dobrado completely different approach
