I know a few people that have taken Capoeira for a few years, and they are no where near that good.
That guy is definitly at the top of his game.

I think I have to change my underwear now!

That was great. Tony Jaa has phenomenal form and speed. The other guy was great too! Capoeira is a really difficult martial art to learn. You need to be in great physical condition to do it. I would think Muay Thai would win since the whole basis is breaking bones and taking out extremities. You figure you take out a Capoeira fighter's arm and leg and he's severly handicapped. Great fight!

And for the record Hwarang (sp?) rules! But I'm biased since I'm 2nd degree in TKD!

ugh Onb Bak was one of the worst movies I've seen. And I love the eng dubbed martial arts movies. The action was good just to many camera angle do overs :| I still bought it so it must not have been too bad.

Speaking of Martial Arts there is a thing on National Geographic Channel they did on martial arts, they calculated a Muay Thai master's knee to the chest created as much force as a 35mph car crash...

^ Yea I caught about an hour of that they other day. Had some pretty neat stuff.

This one guy was breaking more bricks with his hand/arm than a comparably sized guy with a sledge hammer.
