So. Capoeira is a fighting style that slaves here, in Brazil, have creadted to defend themselves against the slavers. They uased to play some instruments and dance while practicing so the slavers wouldn't find out it was actually a fight. The capoeira fighters normaly don't do the ginga (dance) when fighting for real. It consists mostly of kicks, but punches and some grabing with the legs are used too. Capoeira without the ginga (dance) uses a lot of common kicks, so it might be hard to tell when someone is using doing it or not. Nowdays we have more complete fighting styles tho...
There was also N'golo. N'golo is a traditional Bantu martial art from Angola, that combines elements of combat and dance, performed in a circle accompanied by music and singing. It is widely known as the forerunner of capoeira
"Ginga", or "swaying", have a lot more than aesthetic uses. First and foremost, it plays the notion of rytym which you can then subvert, feigning a pattern that allows you to control the fight. Also it avoids you being a sitting duck for the adversay, since you're always flowing from place to place. Third, capoeira uses a lot of "spring" movements that depends on twisting your body in a way to deliver more powerful blows when the twist is released. Tension + Release = Power. Capoeira is all about momentum. So you often sway your torso, creating tension in the joints/waist you can then release when you find an opening.
Jokes They didn't create They just can't practice in the eyes of their owners After all No one wants that someone that you brought learns how to kill you They come from Africa what did you think they would fight ? Kung Fu
Batuque in brazilian portuguese means something like a dance or the song of the drums when dancing. It's related to the Capoeira presented in the manga
Portuguese man here, usually a drum-like instrument, although any surface you decide to slap with your hands rythmically, is in fact a batuque (also Brazil sucks)
As far as i know, batuque was a game that sailors played in the ports of brazil. The goal was to push the other player from the circle with kicks, or make them fall
@@ryukenshin1Brazil its great if you have money, like earn in dolar passively. Oterwise, its suc ks. But its Batuque... basicaly drum instrument. Thats used, But in Capoeira its a cord instrument called berinbal.
Brazilian here. Batuque translates as "beat" in a musical sense. To hit something rhythmcally to produce music and is almost a synonym for drumming except you can "batucar" in any surface able to emit sound when hit. But I believe the manga means "beat" in a broad sense where you can just do music while beat someone.
@@Chriggan2 In the manga they refer to Batuque as a lost martial art. When speaking about history of capoeira it's often said that Mestre Bimba was skilled Batuque player and transferred some skills from it to capoeira. But idk, maybe we all were pranked
Actually I saw this manga through Muscle mommy discussion on MyAnimeList though I wasn't interest in it when I saw your thumbnail with muscle lady which I think it is Aguri (to my surprise it is her which I found on AniList on the character section). So this peak my interest besides the other martial arts mangas I'm reading.
Usogui is my favorite fictional story of anything, so I'm really glad I found this video that shows another work by the same author. If its got any of the flare and style of Usogui then it'll definitely be a fantastic read even without the gambling
Strongly recommend it, I read it cause of this vid, and it's peak. The art is really good (apart maybe at the very start where it looks slightly weird, my opinion), there's also some strong cultural reference, good pace, amazing plot, very well planned and narrated fights with lots of plot twists. Definitely a must-read

Hi, Brazilian here. You pronounce 'batuque' as 'ba-too-key,' with the 'a' sounding like the 'a' in 'cat', the 'u' sounding like the 'oo' in 'food,' and the 'e' sounding like the 'ey' in 'key'. Hope that's helpful! Overall, great video!
Something that I love about Japanese mangas is how they tend to represent other cultures around the world. You will never see an american comic represent a traditional martial art from another country like capoeira as the main subject of the story and the culture around it other than just a mimic that some background character has. Since, americans and europeabs tend to see this things as "something other countries do" as if it were too inferior to them despite some of their people practice it too.
Great Manga, eventough the beginning is a little boring, the story and art is weird sometimes and the pacing has issues. If you love Martial Arts you will love this Manga, the fights are excellent, the twists and choreographies are hype and beautiful. It is a okay manga before the Ogun Union Arc, but then it becomes Insanely good. Read it
You should check out Hagure Idol , this manga is off the chain , and if you're into martial arts and also a man of culture, you'll think you've died and went to manga heaven
CARALHO! Dude was singing "Capoeira mata um", that's like a real saying here in Brazil - it translates to something like "Capoeira kills". Mad respect to the author for doing his homework.
It's pronounced bah-too-kee. As a caopeirista, it's great having a manga dedicated for it. The series is good, and I hope it gets a good anime rendition. And maybe they can speed through the beginning part because it's a bit slow.
It's nice to find a youtuber who truly knows his stuff about combat arts manga:) What do you think of Garouden and Koukou Tekkenden Tough? Garouden was mid in my opinion, the protagonist was cool, but underused and while some fights were awesome it just didn't stand out. The best arc was probably the backstory of the wrestler based on Antonio Inoki. Koukou Tekkenden Tough is one of my favorites and (in my opinion) the strongest candidate for the best combat arts manga. Also, I did stumble on this manga about 2 or 3 years ago, but I didn't fully read it and I tend to forget about it.
I enjoyed Garouden and did feel like the main character was a bit underused like you mentioned but he’s still pretty cool with his “street martial arts” and Tough was pretty enjoyable especially because of the twin fathers and the main character I enjoyed his progress in the tournament.
@@terriblewonder Yes the whole drama surrounding the Miyazawa's is entertaining:) I enjoyed the original more than the sequel though. THOUGH felt more story oriented to me. During Koukou Tekkenden Tough the training arcs were downright amazing and the high level of details of the fights was out of this world. I really liked how the author drew the bones during grappling matches in order to show us why a lock is so hard to escape.
I heard of it and always waiting for the update it’s great ,batuque it’s so cool to get a little insight of Brazilian culture like the only other I can think of is michiko to hatchin
I'm actually familiar with the series but forgot about it with the plethora of manga/ manhwa out there....lol. It's hard to keep up. Thanks for reminding me about this series, I will definitely pick it back up again 🙏 . U hav my sub.
Hooked on this manga cause of this review. The only other manga that I feel really nails the experience of learning a martial art along with the protagonist that feels grounded is an old classic called Kenji I highly recommend it.
Oh cool this video was uploaded on my b-day! I've never heard of this manga. We've heard of just about every fighting manga under the sun. Especially the ones drawn in such a distorted way. Again Capoeira is martial arts that you see characters in fight games or comics or movies identify with but never an in depth look. When I first heard of it I was fascinated by it and the history behind it. Much of it reminded me of the old B-boy dance styles. But I have yet to see actual battles showing it's effectiveness. Hey who knows, maybe your vid can get some exposure and someone can pick it up. I would love to see this title recommended to some of the manga distributors. It needs an anime. We had 'Air Master', which was one of my favorites featuring the most odd cast of female fighters and artistry.
So. Capoeira is a fighting style that slaves here, in Brazil, have creadted to defend themselves against the slavers. They uased to play some instruments and dance while practicing so the slavers wouldn't find out it was actually a fight. The capoeira fighters normaly don't do the ginga (dance) when fighting for real. It consists mostly of kicks, but punches and some grabing with the legs are used too. Capoeira without the ginga (dance) uses a lot of common kicks, so it might be hard to tell when someone is using doing it or not. Nowdays we have more complete fighting styles tho...

They didn't create
They just can't practice in the eyes of their owners
After all
No one wants that someone that you brought learns how to kill you
They come from Africa what did you think they would fight ?
Kung Fu

Its very obscure but so FUCKING GOOD
Batuque (bah-too-kee) means the beating of many drums, like it happens during the Capoeira matches.
This looks really amazing, thank you for shouting this out. I never would have known about this manga otherwise.

Fun fact Salsa was created by Afro-Cubans as well
The dance or the food?

read teppu too
I love this! I've stumbled on the Manga a while back and got hooked!
without watching the video yet, the thumbnail already got me hook
Baki and Kengan inspired me to make my own battle manga like webcomic
It’s called the arts of mars if your interested

Overall, great video!
Thank you, I had so much trouble with it!!
Its more like Ba sounding like the "O" in "bowl" (since "a" in "Cat" sounds like and "e").
I was wondering when someone make a video on this manga the characters are well developed so far I’ve read and the fights are mesmerizing👍
Sees thumbnail: We must stay focused brothers, we must stay focused.
YEEEEES, A BATUQUE VIDEO!!!! (and it's Bah-tu-ke)
1:37 And the quality seems great too! Great editing
dude i love Usogui i cant wait for that video
BRO I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A MANGA ABOUT CAPOEIRA GOD FFFJDKHHJDAMMNIT MY DEREAMS SHAVE COME TRUE
I am commenting for the algorithm, love this manga and would love to see it get more recognition
Thanks for sharing, i never heard about this one. Gonna read it now😎👍
This reminded me of the manhwa Veritas. Loved that ish

So every movie (created by white people) in which an Asian guy completely massacres white guys with his karate and or kungfu is not good enough?

Been a while since I read it
@@terriblewonder it's awesome, and finally the tournament Arck is concluded, and it was epic
It is the hypest and coolest fighting manga rn
This is amazing, I've always loved martial arts and this will be a good research material for me
I love the soundtrack you used If ya know ya know!
Subscribing cause you put The name of the series in the first few seconds
I was sold the moment I saw the thumbnail of that muscle mommy
Main protagonist does capoeira? Im speechless on how i didn't discover this
An underrated one that is definitely worth it on the list of need to read is Shamo.
I felt like I should’ve talked about it more when I mention it.
CARALHO! Dude was singing "Capoeira mata um", that's like a real saying here in Brazil - it translates to something like "Capoeira kills". Mad respect to the author for doing his homework.
I just found out this batuque was opposite of kengan omega.
The hot fit black chick on the thumbnail brought me here!!!
Bro my mother just walked by and looked at that thumbnail and thought what the fuck I'm watching
That was the point
It's pronounced bah-too-kee. As a caopeirista, it's great having a manga dedicated for it. The series is good, and I hope it gets a good anime rendition. And maybe they can speed through the beginning part because it's a bit slow.
i'm already sold from the intro and the thumbnail
Good find man thanks for giving me new content to my collection i am new to the martial arts manga/anime and this one hooked
i thought my headphones where busted for a minute, bought gave me a heart attack lmao
LA NA CAPOEIRA
Btw AFRO Brazilian
Descending from N'golo but it's still from the slave that were put in Brazil from west Africa
Love the video , the Chrono Trigger Hit me hard, subbed! Thank you for the hard work you put into your videos. Aloha Shalom.

Thank you for this review. This manga has helped me find myself 🤲

I guess i'll subscribe rq
Your right never seen this one I will be checking it out definitely thanks for the video
I remember reading the first couple of charter some time ago when it first come out, maeby I should check it ourt again.
True I never heard it but I have seen it before some as cover art is something I have seen before.
Nice pick. Also great heads up to holyland, I was going to recommend it but you mentioned it.
I'm actually familiar with the series but forgot about it with the plethora of manga/ manhwa out there....lol. It's hard to keep up. Thanks for reminding me about this series, I will definitely pick it back up again 🙏 . U hav my sub.
You gotta read jackals manga but it’s unfinished. You’d like it.
The only capoiera guy I knew pronounced it 'bat-e-Kh'
I was spelling it Batik before he corrected me, that is how it sounded to my ears.
Nice review! BTW, it's named after the mangaka (and my) capoeira group: BA-TWO-KEY. Stay up!
The kana on the cover says Batūki. Where you hold the u sound a bit. So, Batooki basically.
I'm seeing literally seen Baki daughter oh my God I really hope this gets animated
I hate it when someone starts making excuses for something that doesn't deserve it.
Especially when we talk history
from the thumbnail I'm very interested in the manga without even watching the video
She’s a great character
What her name
@@malcolmirving3422 Aguri
Tks 4 heads up

Hikenden Kira maybe is my favourite martial art manga
Also this mangá name spoken Bá-tu-que.
You got me hooked
i just finished the latest chapter of Batuque :D
That will be epic.
Thank you🙏
Matt Reeves is why we love live action comic book movies!!!
Hey have you read Kenji or Change 123? I really liked those and can't recommend them enough.
I love them both ...
change 123 is also underrated ...
Kenji is amazing!!!
Kenji was a great manga and change 123 is a vague memory but in a good way
Batuque crossover with the boondocks.

Who knows the background song he played around 2:18? I know the tune but not the name. Thanks!
