Move Background
Negativa Derrubando gives you flexible knees and, if practiced correctly, can protect you against knee injuries in all movement disciplines and everyday life. It is performed in a lower stance with the stomach parallel to the ground and used as a sweep. If the other capoeirista is delivering a standing kick that leaves them with only one supporting leg, the extended leg can be used to hook behind that supporting leg and sweep it.
Step by step guide
- Make an entrada (step in), following the direction of the attack, so that you are side-on to your partner.
- Next you put both your hands on the ground and make a little jump with both feet so that the furthest leg from your partner is straightened out, and the foot is hooked behind their ankle.
- A variation of this move is to use the sweeping leg as a kick into the front of your partner's ankle, which can also put them on the floor.
