Now don't get me wrong, I think African martial arts are very interesting (one of the guys at my capoeira group studies African martial arts), but what makes them better?
Plus, no one knows how much capoeira took from these African martial arts because no one knows if capoeira angola arrived in Brazil fully formed, or if it was mostly developed in Brazil. We also don't know how much it developed once in Brazil, if at all.
