As long as I understood for 20+ years in capo, it primarily is a socializing art. The apt playing in roda (circle) is the utmost goal of training the art. The most wonderful aspect of capo is: you can throw kicks full speed in quick succession with minimal risk to harm your (trained) opponent or yourself. You couldnt find this in any other martial art. As for self defence. A powerful kick is a powerful kick. In street situation one quick kick can decide the outcome. You rarely have the opportunity to apply some complicated sparring strategy and tactic up there. So, dont mess with soccer players, and capoeiras ))
