RAS AND KUAJUAN: YES, YOU DO CARDIO CAPOEIRA NOT SELF DEFENSE. AND THAT'...

The fact remains. Beyond dispute. That all these other people teach cardio capoeira, or contact cardio capoeira. They don't do sport combat training [ which requires rounds of training specific skills, using specific equipment like mitts, air shields, heavy bags, etc. and requires sparring ]. They don't do "fight" training...which requires applying techniques against common street fighting scenarios, with escalating resistance applied by your training partner or partners. And none of them even know what self defense training is.



In all the world. Only Head Coach Ras of THE ATACX GYM both was first to introduce all of these things, explain all of these things, and still does all of these things...with the proper Afrikan languages, history, and knowledge as to how our Afrikan spirituality and lessons shows how to learn acquire perpetuate and teach the technical skills and philosophy of our art, and how our spiritual lessons have the most direct impact upon the massive and constantly expanding knowledge base, specific techniques, expressions, applications, tactics and strategies of the Kipura warrior.



Haven't you noticed? In the last year or two, so many other people have come out online claiming to teach "Kipura", like me? So many more cardio capoeira people are teaching "contact capoeira", instead of learning fighting and/or self defense Kipura. They're copying my videos and translating them into the cardio capoeira community, instead of recognizing Afrika as the true source of Kipura, created in The Kingdom of Kongo [ TKoK ], and grandmother of all. The Kingdoms of Ndongo [ TKoN ], Matambe [TKoM ], Soyo [ TKoS ], Benguela [ TKoB ] etc [ These Kingdoms comprise all of modern day "Angola" and more ] were all vassal states of The Kingdom of Kongo, which TKoK taught. Kipura spread from TKoK to these other Kingdoms, and from there came to The Western Hemisphere. Ndongo Engolo Kipura...one of several proper names for the art drastically miscalled in the language of the slaver enemy of free Afrikans "Capoeira de Angola"...is a direct derivative of Kipura. It is only Kipura as practiced by TKoN. TKoM, TKoB, TKoS all practiced their own specific versions of the Kipura of TKoK. Kipura is essentially the grandparent art of all arts of Central and Western Afrika from about 5 A.D. upwards.



And the European and Brazilian scholars know this...but try to hide it, in order to give themselves and their countries false and untrue accolades, praise and money.  They are being very dishonest and very racist; and if you believe their stories? You too are being dishonest and racist, which most of you are too good of hear to be...
