Capoeira the way it should be done, brazilian music

Awesome stuff, but I just wanted to get some things straight about Capoeira, I used to do it and all and it is fun and pretty, but it also a real martial art which is effective in it's own way.
As someone mentioned before, how it's not effective because the fighter is always off balance, this is not entirely true, capoeira is a fighting style where you confuse your opponent and throw him off balance where you then execute the most effective moves, the unpredictability of a Capoeirist's moves is what makes this style effective. It's not used in fighting often because it is far too hard to master and it also isn't the fastest way to get things done, another martial art will most likely get things done quicker.
Also whoever said something about them not being allowed to touch each other and no fighting involved, this is also not true. Even beginners are taught to fight, but these guys are the ones who are not allowed to hit each other, the higher the level of the fighters, the more contact involved. I've seen masters fight in person and contact is often even though it's usually foot to foot or foot to hand.
Capoeira is indeed an awkward fighting style, but by no means useless or fake. Stiil it is a pretty dance
