52 Blocks vs. Capoeira… WHICH IS DEADLIEST?!!!

Okay, this blog title is clickbait, so… If you’re looking for some kind of showdown, you will be SORELY MISTAKEN.

But anyway, I found this cool video clip on YouTube, and I thought I’d share it with you.

What you’re actually looking at is a friendly sparring match between two dedicated Martial Artists from each of the two styles mentioned in the title of this blog. Of course, I always say that videos like these, where one style is pitted against another, are for the most part pointless.

Why?

Because although some styles are better than others for fighting, it really depends on the training and skill of the FIGHTERS, as well as the unique experiences that each brings to the mat.

Each practitioner carries with them a wealth of knowledge and personal techniques, honed over countless hours of training and real-world application, which not only shape their physical abilities but also inform their mindset and approach to challenges. What truly matters is how effectively they can leverage their respective skill sets, whether the scenario involves a friendly contest, a simulation of deadly combat, or everything in-between, as each situation presents unique variables that require quick thinking and adaptability. In essence, the outcome is not solely determined by the style itself but rather by the adaptability, strategy, and mental fortitude of the individuals involved, showcasing that the art of fighting transcends mere techniques and delves deep into the heart of each fighter’s spirit and determination.

This interplay of skills and psychological resilience is what elevates a simple competition into a profound expression of personal growth and mastery, ultimately highlighting that the journey of a martial artist is as significant as their victories in the ring.

Now having said or rather, “Typed” about that, there’s another important thing that I would like to type about.

In that video, the narrator mentioned that many of our young sisters have been coming up missing in the USA, in particular the state of Virginia, where the numbers have been rising alarmingly over the past few years. This heartbreaking issue affects families and communities deeply, leaving unanswered questions and a sense of fear in the hearts of many. I for one, URGE you to check out missingkids.org, a vital resource dedicated to finding missing children and raising awareness about this pressing crisis.

Together, we can take proactive steps to help locate these vulnerable children and work towards ensuring their safety and well-being. By leveraging community resources, collaborating with local organizations, and raising awareness through various platforms, we can significantly increase our reach and effectiveness in this critical mission. Let’s unite our efforts and spread the word far and wide so that we can find these missing children and bring them back home, safe and sound, to their loved ones who are desperately waiting for their return. Every shared story, every posted photo, and every conversation can contribute to a greater chance of recovery, reminding us that together, our collective impact can bring hope and healing to families who are suffering in silence.

I will be posting more about this particular subject n the near future.
