In one case, when the soldier attempted to arrest Celestino, capoeirista from Salvador, he instead received a headbutt that "caused his death almost instantly". Headbutts were the capoeiras' primary technique, as per police records.

Mestre Pastinha considered the core techniques of the traditional capoeira to be the following: Main articles: Engolo and Capoeira Angola
