Yeah I sparred with a lot of different stylists in the years past, but the two capoeira guys (from the same, apparently very good, school) were by far the hardest ones to deal with. Such a completely unnatural way to fight and move, your brain has no idea how to deal with it unless you train like that (or against that) specifically. Kind of like BJJ, in that sense -- one of the older Gracies compared it to a world-class fighter (who can barely swim) going against a world-class water polo guy (who can barely fight) -- in the water.

I played with Olympic level players without a shank in site
It is a rough sport though
