Negativa

An experienced capoeirista can use their ground skills to lure an opponent into a trap, making themselves appear vulnerable when, in reality, they are about to attack.

[3] Negativa derrubando used as a foot sweep which involves hooking the opponent's supporting leg.

If the opponent is about to throw a standing kick, they will be putting all of their weight on one leg.

This movement is easily achieved by bending one knee, extending the opposite leg, and leaning at the waist while lowering yourself as much as possible.

[5] From low negativa, it easy to transit into rolé or aú de cabeça.
