Ponte

“Bridge“

Ponte is another technique that I consider as a must learn. Being able to perform bridge unlocks many ground based movements, transitions and even cartwheels of Capoeira. Bridge can be also used as a very unique way of dodging attacks which only the most skilled Capoeiristas are able to safely do.
Similarly to Bananeira and Queda De Rins I strongly believe this is another technique that every Capoeira should master.
