Banda traçada two-sided

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bCg_AhQCWI

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

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 quickly twisting rightward and throwing a left Raspa (Rooster mechanics) against the back of opponent's right leg; swiping it away and throwing him down.

-

Unlike Traçada one-sided, this banda entails the unusual right-then-left turn; and two Rooster sweeps.

Also, unlike one-sided Traçada, it uses a Raspa (Rooster swipe) to sweep his standing leg instead of a rasteira-like Snake pull.

-

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.

-

If you look closely at the video, you will see that Zbynek actually jumps into the air while sweeping with Raspa. This is an instance of Powerswiping (see my article on Batuque tactics for details). The way two-sided Traçada is done - stamping from side to side - allows you to accumulate energy in your legs and switch your lower body to Dom Eagle for the final sweep. This results in an extremely powerful Raspa that sweeps both opponent's legs and even brings you into the air as you swipe.

-

This banda is described by Mestre Decanio in a video; so it was probably used in old Regional; perhaps even replacing One-sided Banda traçada.

-

As one-sided Traçada, this banda can be done from Quasinegaca (see the article).
