I am hoping to expand on the Capoeira tree from the Hand to Hand techniques list.
Name: Au Batido (Broken Cartwheel)
Tier IV
Class: Hand to Hand
Type: Defensive
Range: Close
Description: The user begins a cartwheel towards their opponent, guarding their face with one hand while supporting their body on the other, usually in response to an attack. Using the momentum of the cartwheel, they kick or push the oncoming attack away before falling back or moving to the side. If used when no attack is being countered, the user kicks and pushes their opponent away, creating distance and allowing them to move around the field freely.
Name: Escorpiao (Scorpion Kick)
Tier IV
Type: Offensive
Range: Close
Description: The user brings their body down to the ground, pivoting on their leading leg while using the momentum to bring their back leg up to kick an opponent standing in front of them. This attack is very hard to see coming and is often mistaken for a low dodge before the kick comes up to strike with the sole or heel of the back foot.
Name: Martelo (Hammer)
Tier III
Type: Offensive
Range: Close
Description: This is the bread and butter of the capoeira school for offense, being the most common attack with many variants and types spawning from this very simple kick. It functions almost exactly like a roundhouse kick, but requires less lead up and in the hands of a master can’t be seen coming.
