3. Capoeira in Brazilian Park

This one is actually kind of good. Heading into his fight with Jose Aldo, Conor went on a worldwide media tour, including to Brazil.  While visiting Brazil Conor trained in Capoeira, a brazilian martial art with an interesting history.

Copeiro was developed by slaves as a way to practice martial arts without the slave-owners finding out.  The martial art is designed to look like dancing, so whenever the slave-owners watched them practicing it just looked as though they were dancing.

Here’s video of a Brazilian tv show that covered Conor doing some capoeira touch butt in a park in Brazil.
