ATACX GYM MKAO SIRI WAWINDAJI AKA NEGATIVA APPLICATIONS
And this is the video...ATACX GYM MKAO SIRI WAWINDAJI..."Posture of The Hidden Hunter"...popularly miscalled NEGATIVA for centuries. Because my family art of Njia Uhuru Kipura has returned the modernized,functionalized, original comprehensives skills of Kipura self defense APPLICATIONS...which has offended and inspired to more realistic, greater expressions of capoeira many capoeiristas around the world.
What do you think of it? Leave comments below, like and share.
First i have to say you are doing a great work
ReplyDeleteKeep doing it, I already learned alot from your videos.
About this video, i realy liked the first use of negativa, and the arm lock also looks very effective.
Against a sword or a bat... well i think there are better options than the one you use in this video.
i have a freind who practice double stick fighting and i believe he would strike me if i use that technique, enter in a close quarter from a negative would probably be more usefull against those kind of weapons. But it also depends from the martial artist.
But i realy liked the other negativa applications
Thx for the videos, keep doing this

Thank you thank you, my friend Pedro...hermano, irmao...for taking the time to watch my video and write such a well thought out response. Thank you again, for the kind words you have for my videos. I truly, deeply appreciate it. Sometimes, innovations in Capoeira training methods and technical application are not greeted with open arms, no matter how useful they may actually be.
ReplyDeleteAs for the moves in the videos? I have done each and every one of these in live sparring. I also am well versed in weapons, having trained in weapons ranging from the firearm to traditional weaponry for more than 2 decades now. I am well versed in the use of the double stick, knives, etc. If you can run from a guy with any of those weapons? Do so. You already know this. However, the use of the Negativa against a bat or double stick is actually slightly more effective than the more orthodox defenses primarily because it's so unorthodox that it usually takes the weapon wielder by surprise, and it takes a moment for them to recover. The adroit use of the Negativa [ in this case it's a Negativa Regional ] has more components than you might think [ including simultaneous groin strikes, trips, and immobilizations which prevent the attacker's weapons from being deployed against you as you execute he Negativa ] but I have learned the hard way [ via some people misusing my material simply by studying my YouTube videos ] that some aspects of my techniques and sequences are--for public safety concerns--best kept under my direct control so I can ensure that only responsible, reliable people can learn and responsibly, honorably, correctly use my teachings for the betterment of themselves, their community and the martial arts in general.
I promise to keep the videos coming, including clips of me sparring other capoeiristas and other martial artists. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOLLOWING MY BLOG!!
