THE PRINCIPLE MOVEMENTS OF CAPOEIRA ANGOLA

THE MOVIMENTS IS ...

1. Ginga
   
2. Negativa
   
3. Role
   
4. Chapa de frente, chapa de costa and chapa lateral
   
5. Meia lua de frente, meia lua de costa – high and low
   
6. Rabo de arraia – high and low
   
7. Rasteira
   
8. Cabeçada
   
9. Queda de rim

Note: all the movements can be done high or low, from the front or behind, amarrado (compressed), solto (freely) or preso (confined).

I see the cabeçada as an Angoleiro's specialty movement. A cabeçada can be done high or low, from the front or behind.

The Angoleiro has his own variation of the ginga and his own way of being sly and cunning.
