The movement of Capoeira

Here about Capoeira movement.

-Cocorinha: A crouching position.
-Ponte: Backbend or low backbend (arms and legs bent but back isn't touching the ground)
-Resistencia: Like cocorinha, but one leg can be forward, you lean back as you escape. You use reistencia to go to a low ponte, rolé or rasteira to the side.
-Entrada: A sidestep dodge, also a step forward. The entrada step is also what leads into spinning moves like the Armada, Mei Lua de Compasso, and Meia Lua Solta
-Balanço: An evasive maneuver to the side with legs spread, you use the momentum to bounce back into other moves.
-Rolé: A way of moving low to the ground, legs sweeping short in front of you.

-Escala: Defensive move where you fall back onto one leg. From here usually you spring forward to attack, a sweep or Chapeu de Couro

-Reverse Planche (left) and Manna (right): These strength holds are sometimes seen in the roda by very strong capoeiristas. Just thought I'd throw them in.

-Vingativa: A counter that uses your weight and leverage to topple an opponent.
-Cruz: A counter that ‘uproots’ the opponent.
-Boca de Calca: A simple takedown where you grab the opponent's ankles and yank.
-Arrastão: Takedown where you move in close, shoulder to the opponent's chest, grab their thighs and heave their skull to the ground.
-Acoite de Braco: A body slam or throw or takedown. Grab one arm, put your other arm between his legs, heave him up onto and over your shoulders and plunk him on the ground.
-Cintura Desprezada: A series of 4 acrobatic partner exercises developed by Mestre Bimba to teach students how to land on their feet. This training helped students learn moves like backflips, forward flips & au sem mao. I don't know what these are and I've never done them before, so don't bother asking.

-Giro: To spin on your heels, like faking a kick
