Banda traçada one-sided

One-sided Traçada  is a banda used both in Batuque and in old Regional.

(Banda traçada, Curso de capoeira regional (1965))

Stand close to the opponent and throw a bump with the front of your right thigh into the side of his left leg. This is done using Rooster mechanics; and it throws him on the outer side of his (far) right foot.

Continue by twisting your hips leftward until they point away from the opponent; then sweep both of his legs from the rear to his front with your right foot (Snake mechanics).

-

What is important is to turn your hips away from the opponent before you pull(Snake); otherwise, the sweep is impossible to apply.

-

This banda can be done against a firm stance (legs together) as in Batuque; it can also be used to first smash opponent's legs together, then sweep him.

-

Unlike most others, this banda cannot be performed solo; you have to bump into something with your thigh.

-

This banda is described in 'Curso de capoeira Regional', and thus was used in old Regional. However, Mestre Decanio in a video (accompanying the 'Mestre Bimba: Capoeira illuminada' movie) describes another type of Banda traçada, which we call Banda traçada two-sided. We will describe it in another article.

-

This technique was probably also called 'Coxa lisa' in Batuque.

-

On a higher level, apply the cross step-in with Bear+Seduction1 (and your arms spread); this twists the opponent into the banda and creates a nerve strangle as you throw him, making the fall extra hard (and the banda itself easy).
