  • In my (limited) experience, Capoeira fills both of these roles; while it can be both full-contact and aggressive, it also places a large emphasis on agility, spatial awareness and reading the intentions and movements of other people, quickly. It's also awesome for core strength, flexibility, and cardio-vascular stamina... It's often seen as a bit of a joke martial art, but this is mainly based on common misconceptions about the practice.

    These two videos are two brilliant examples of capoeira.

    The only difference being that capoeira makes you look like a berk ;)
