Can someone please explain the full physics of capoeira (you know, the acrobatic martial art)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
physics of which part? muscle toning? the acrobatics? the twirling?
 
The acrobatics, please.
 
What do you mean explain the 'physics' of? You need to be more specific about your question. How would you respond if I asked you to explain "how to cook food"?
