Kick Boxer Meets US Marine

Kick Boxer Meets US Marine

 
This video is being posted all over the internet as “Champion Bohemian Kick boxer meets U.S. Marine”. It is actually a scene from the movie Never Back Down, recorded by someone in the crowd.

Here’s the actual scene…

This particular style is Capoeira, which is a martial art hidden in a dance. Designed in Brazil by slaves who were restricted from learning self defense. The main problem with movies and Capoeira, is you wouldn’t be doing the flips and fancy stuff if it was self defense, instead you’d stay low to the ground and use sweeps and kicks.

The internet has been around for a good while now. Maybe it’s time to stop believing everything you see on it.
