Capoeira vs Boxing.

Someone told me this was a faked behind the scene for an mma film.

"Someone" was me. This isn't "fake" because it was never designed to actually deceive anyone. This is an actual scene from Never Back Down, an MMA movie (awful, awful movie.) Capoeira is quite silly, but in Kai's defense, this isn't proof of it.

That 'boxer' guy uses Bas Rutten's signature jumping punch technique, if I'm not mistaken.

Also, I think this is supposed to be from the film 'Never Back Down', or at least, that's what those tools on youtube say. The Capoeira guy definitely gets the short end of the acting stick though.

I don't think a Capoeira practitioner has a very good chance in a real MMA fight anyway.

Oh, well, Matthew and I may have posted at the exact same time, but there you have it I guess.
