Defenses
Capoeira defenses consists of evasive moves and rolls. A series of ducks called
esquivas, which literally means "escape", are also staple of a capoeiristas' defensive vocabulary. There are typically different esquivas for every step of the Ginga, depending on the direction of the kick and intention of the defender. A common defense is the
rolê, which is a rolling move that combines a duck and a low movement.
