Today's talks about Banda (Ban-da)movement.
Banda is a very strong reduction and is used when both players know what they're doing. This is done by a player to take another step towards the middle of the football, moving in and swept away their land. This is clearly not the removal of the light used. Takedowns can be used in all types of driving situations. But make sure you know what you're doing and the other players know how to take them or someone might get hurt.
Banda is a sweep kick, the objective of which is to pull one of the opponent's feet making him lose his balance and fall. It usually is performed from a standing position. What separates the banda from the rasteria is that the sweep is mostly done with the heel of the foot instead of the instep.
* Banda de Costa
A defensive counter-attack performed against a kick. This is usually reserved for circular kicks such as the armada or queixada. By following the motion of the kick, the capoeirista steps to the outside left or right of the kicker and uses one hand to push them forward while the closest leg reaps the supporting leg of the kicker. It looks identical to the Osoto guruma in Judo.
* Banda de Dentro
The banda de dentro or passa pe is a similar sweep as the rasteira em pe. While the banda de costa focuses on sweeping the kicking leg from the inside instead. While one capoeirista is delivering a kick such as a martelo, the other player steps inside and sweeps the supporting leg in an inside to outside motion.

Capoeira Takedowns: Tesoura de costas
Below the movement of Tesoura de costas.
The tesoura is a takedown preformed from or close to the ground. Literally, tesoura means scissors, which the player does with their legs around the other to twist them to the ground.
* Tesoura-de-Frente
A variation of the Tesoura (scissors) that targets the legs instead of the torso. Many times after faking a high attack, the capoeirista will move in low, hooking his outside leg to the calf of his and his other leg to the inner thigh trapping the leg at the knee. With a small amount of effort, the capoeirista turns his torso away from his opponent using the trapped knee as a lever, knocking the opponent off balance. The end result is the capoeirista on all fours with his feet and hands touching the ground in a resting Adho Mukha Svanasana position staring down at the person on the ground he/she just swept. He has many options of either attacking with a knee strike to the face or an au to escape. This move requires a high level finesse and timing.
* Tesoura Angola
Commonly performed from negativa or queda-de-rins, the capoeirist goes to a prone position, legs facing the opponent and scissored out, hips twisted to protect the groin, supporting themselves on their hands and toes. They then advance upon the opponent by pushing themselves along with their hands, watching by craning their neck over one shoulder, threatening a tesoura-de-frente. The opponent is expected to escape, traditionally via an aù or by diving over the attacking capoeirist, possibly going into their own Tesoura Angola upon landing. A more daring escape can be performed by travelling under the attacking capoeirist, optionally striking them as you pass beneath them.

Capoeira Takedowns : Vingativa (Vin-ga-tiva)
It's about Vingativa (Vin-ga-tiva) movement.
This is a very useful takedown in capoeira. It’s used to knock the other player off balance after a kick, or from ginga position. I’ve seen it used a lot in roda on people who let their guard down or weren’t paying close attention.
See this for watching a video of Vingativa movement.

These about Rasteira (Ha-ster-a) movement.
Capoeira Take Downs are an example of movement, where it is necessary to touch the other players to knock them down.
These movements should be used only with practice and skill, so you better know what you're doing. If not, you have a very good chance of seriously injuring himself or another person.
The rasteira is very common in Capoeira Take Down. E 'is used widely in response to kicks, where the player is rasteira to sweep their opponents open leg to use. Two major variations of it are running and running while standing near the ground. The following video shows the two.
