(Exercising Your Mind) Mixed-Martial Arts Combat will continue to evolve at bone-breaking pace. One can not hope for things to get easier in the ring. It is you that must get better.

The best strategy would be to apply powerful techniques that are needed to continue winning the fights that count the most. KappaGuerra has specifically derived the most combat-ready and battle-tested techniques from Capoeira to send your opponent to the mat for good.

The specific MMA skill-sets required to be a top fighter in the ring can be broken down into seven primary categories. These combat skills are:

1. CARDIO & STRENGTH CONDITIONING
2. WESTERN & THAI BOXING
3. STANDING CLINCH-WORK
4. TAKE–DOWNS & SHOOTING
5. GROUND-WORK / PAR–TERRE
6. GROUND & POUND
7. SUBMISSIONS

Because of the emphasis on warfare applications, this system is called KappaGuerra to distinguish it from the more folk-art tendencies of traditional Capoeira. Kappa is the 10th letter of the Greek alphabet and Guerra is the Portuguese word for war.

CONDITIONING
KappaGuerra naturally provides over-all cardio and strength conditioning. The KappaGuerra arsenal is stocked full of strategic motion. The basic movement called the GINGA (jing-guh) is an excellent lower-body, core and endurance training method all on its own.

By combining the ginga with a small set of other KappaGuerra movements into your practice, your stamina will increase very rapidly throughout your entire body. The additional conditioning will free up your awareness to focus on tying up your opponent to get the upper hand in the strike-zone and for setting up the clinch.

BOXING
KappGuerra is highly effective as a boxing supplement. The ginga will condition you to be highly ambidextrous. During the course of a match, the rapid-fire pace and footwork may temporarily cause you to move out of your dominant or preferred lead-stance. KappaGuerra enables you with left and right striking capabilities that will overwhelm and discourage an opponent not so equipped.

The quick-change mobility learned from the KappaGuerra ginga will advance you from having the limited options of a dominant and a weak lead to having dominant and sub-dominant leads. You will be armed with a variable mobility and the reflexive awareness to rain lightning-fast punches and bone-crushing kicks from any leading position.

CLINCH
KappaGuerra delivers high-impact tools in the arena while locking up from a standing position. This is again because of the dynamic conditioning of the ginga and related footwork. The spatial-coordination built into KappaGuerra movements allow for almost at-will key-ins to your opponent’s defense.

At the same time, the enhanced sense of proximity or closeness in KappaGuerra training, allows for fluid adaptation and the ability to lock your opponent out of your clinch-zone while you retain the ability to pick them apart.

SHOOTING
Trapping and grappling are pre-loaded assets from KappaGuerra training. This is due to the foundational power developed from the lunge-like escapes and devious counter-attack techniques built into the primal conditioning. The dual-focused priming of your base empowers formidable leg-sprawling intensity that will flatten any incoming shooter.

The next advantage is that hair-trigger shots may be fired from the superior positioning evolved from KappaGuerra methods. Possessing two dominant leads give your take-downs an unpredictable authority. The increased agility and sensibilities may appear to your opponent as if you possessed tactical precognition.

PAR–TERRE
Moving gracefully and powerfully at low-altitudes is at the core of KappaGuerra effectiveness. Like a spider at home in its web, you will snare and entangle your opponent within an advanced network of maneuvers that will leave them stuck to the floor.

The multi directional rolls, inverted combinations, integrated with hand and foot equilibrium easily facilitates movement from the ground to standing at your command. From this exalted perspective, your opponent will be left blinded down in your dust, while you are already standing and ready to deliver calculated strikes to a disoriented target.

GROUND & POUND
KappaGuerra is unmatched in aiming precision bombardment to your unbalanced opponent. Your prey will be like a fish out of water when they come face to fist and ribs to knee with your instinctively honed barrages.

Able to strike almost effortlessly from various levels and positions, your stamina, speed and strength will outclass your foe and force them into a virtually defenseless and submissive posture.

SUBMISSIONS
The perpetual armory of KappaGuerra weapons are designed to expose your opponent’s vulnerabilities to submission. After being left discouraged and distracted by your dominance, they will be almost completely at the mercy of even the most fundamental and basic of submissions.

If they have managed to make it this far through being tortured and terrorized by your cold, assassin-like precision, you should not be surprised if they tap out before the submission is fully locked-in, or that their corner throws in the towel out of mercy and / or embarrassment.

“…after many centuries, many people only consider capoeira to be a dance
more than a fight, and usually underestimate its value as a fighting
form. This may be the undoing of anyone foolish enough to let their
guard down when someone begins to ginga before, or, during a battle.”
