Then of course, there's a movie from a few years back, called "Only
the Strong". Supposed to be all about Capoeria. Never seen it, and
even if I did, I wouldn't be able to judge how accurate it is.

Not a bad movie. Mark Decascos (the star) only practiced Capoeira for a
little bit, but he's being doing Kajukembo for 20 some odd years so he
covers it up. The instructor in the movie is the real thing ... watch him!
(I saw him in a Capoeira show and in a roda ... he really is that fast).

Something about Capoeira that isn't necessarily true of the other martial
arts I've practiced is that they're a little bit sneaky ... ;-)
