“Banana Tree”

Handstand of Capoeira - I distinguish 4 techniques in Capoeira that are a fundament for the rest of Capoeira movement. Bananeira is one of those techniques. Being able to do handstand well gives a great degree of confidence and freedom for a Capoeirista as well as allows for performing other, more demanding Capoeira moves i.e. complicated cartwheels, handspin.
