[6] A common error is not fully turning the head, shoulders, and hips before the kick.

[7] The capoeirista, facing the opponent, turns their back, but instead of stopping, continues the movement by launching their extended leg over the enemy, catching them by surprise.

The capoeirista continues the kick, spinning their body and bringing the attacking leg to the ground, where it becomes the base for the other leg, which will then execute the armada, catching the surprised and in-motion enemy with the help of momentum.
