I knew my little brother told me the wrong way to spell that so let me use a different term ass-raming thinks he knows shit pussy ass poop eating dirty dirty dirt face

hmmm.. .sounds like your jealous of Joe Rogan,

I'll admit im jealous of his bjj skills if hes a purple... who gives a shit, hes not a bad ufc commentator, hes not great, but hes not bad... better than goldberg anyway... fear factor is an alrite show for about ten minutes.. .so if your eating or something, and you want to watch tv while you eat , its good... and news radio was a pretty fuckign funny show... so FAK off with the Joe Rogan hating...

(Think I just turned into a Joe Rogan nuthugger.... nah...)

A lot of capoeira looks flashy, true. But take TKD for instance: there are practitioners out there who earn respect for their art, they are not products of a "McDojo". Not all capoeiristas are breakdancers. The cool thing about capoeira is that you can do it a club or party and get chicks. Try that with MT (whether the MT beats up the capoeirista afterwards and then takes the girl is another story...lol)
To clear up your misconception of capoeira, you should realize that street-fighting oriented teachers of the art don't advocate "dancing" (doing ginga) before or during the fight. You only see that in movies cause it looks cool. One mestre suggested the ginga is similar to walking. If anything, doing the ginga IN TRAINING teaches you to launch kicks from a mobile base.
It is true that capoeira is short on hand techniques , but I don't think it is any worse that TKD in this respect (c'mon they always kick with their hands all over the place).
If you are in NYC, try a little cross-style sparring with some of the Abada crew there (half of them cross-train in BJJ, btw).

Capoeira helps you get the girl but Bjj helps you keep the girl.
