“Spur“

One of the advanced frontal kicks of Capoeira. If done properly it is a very difficult attack to dodge as the kick tends to be released at high speeds and can be very easily mistaken for Martelo or Bençao frontal kicks, which can deceive the opponent to try to escape into wrong direction. In my opinion It is a very dangerous kick that shouldn’t be done lightly in Capoeira roda as the probability of injuring other Capoeira player is very high.
