Esguiva, the Capoeira First Defense
Hello! This is Instructor Shin from Capoeira School of Bahia on behalf of Expert Village.com. We are going to talk about capoeira. Now I am going to show you first defense, we call Esguiva. So from the ginga stance I am going to dodge and I am looking sideways, I keep still moving, I am flat on the floor, my leg straightened back and my arm in front protecting the face and from here I get back from ginga, so from here I am going to step and move down, I also can do without the hand in the floor. So since the arm on the floor, I am moving forward, kicking. So we go from the ginga, face and arm.
