Capoeira Bandeira over Training Partner
The bandeira is a capoeira jump where you jump from both legs at the same time, kick your closed legs up in a circular motion and then land on both legs. Usually the bandeira is done from the ginga, but you can also do it with a runup, and If your running bandeira is high enough, you can
jump over obstacles. For information on how to do a running bandeira, click here.
Execution
- When you jump over an obstacle, it's even more important that you throw your arms up and fully extend your legs so that you gain enough height.

Advice
