Another thing has to do with the history of Capoeira: it is a martial art invented by black slaves brought to Brazil to sugar cane plantations. Since martial arts were prohibited to them, they camouflaged them as a dance. But the movements are based on animal & hunting movements. You must strike at the right moment, neither before nor after: right time, right place, right action.

When I look at the instructor making demos I clearly remember The Hunting Celebration from the eliminated scenes & think: "This looks Na'vi!"

I would probably like capoeira anyway, but Avatar "brought it to the whole new level"

Wasn't something similar to that displayed in one of the deleted scenes of Avatar CE? If I think it was Tsu'Tey doing something like that when fighting Jake.
