Capoeira - Negativa e Role

This video shows how to do a capoeira negativa e role (rolling negativa escape). Negativas are used to escape from an attack by going close to the ground. The leg closer to the ground is tucked to the chest, and the other leg is extended. Support your body weight with one hand and use the other hand to protect your face. The negativa e role is the same thing with a rolling motion. For more detailed capoeira instructions, click here. For more capoeira videos, click here.

Execution

Advice

  • When you practice this, make sure you start from the ginga and go back to the ginga at the end.
  • You should look at your opponent as long as possible.
