does anyone's school practice shifting movement like this. it feels like samba but more erratic? Peneiracao? or something else. I'm curious.
edit: In the title i meant to say "I'm not going insane." Dunno why i left that out before posting...

Was really curious on other variations of movements in capoeira outside the Ginga. For the past few months, I took to learning them and naturalizing it to further incorporate my knowledge on the old carioca style with my contemporary capoeira school. (all the way in the UK but I'm really figuring it out from here after daily hourly practices on the style.).
For those who don't know. apparently in Old Rio style capoeira. there were various stances and movements completely unique to capoeiragem. possibly due to capoeiragem being a special style in the region and each person growing their own variant, although there were consistent techniques displayed.
examples include: escorpião, A guarda (defensive movement)
and lastly. peneiracao.
From what I've observed and experienced. peneiracao: With Ginga, it was the popularized base evasive movement in capoeiragem. focusing on circling, tactical footwork. more centered to frequently breaking rythms and alternating to various technqiues.)
the videos above depict the techniques from old, archived and modern visuals.
Kind of curious of witness accounts/ practitioners of this. Would be grateful for any, tips offered when staging it for techniques.
I would like to clarify, I'm open to every aspect of capoeira and would not dare to think one thing stands over the other because it's more "efficient" or whatever amuses roundabout stereotypes.
I'm objectively very open-minded on any martial art/culture I practice. capoeira is no different.
Would appreciate any insight, thanks.
