Details

More than a combat move, the headstand requires admirable control, strength and technical ability. An avid admirer of Capoeira martial art, Rodrigo Saramago expertly conveys the force, strength and velocity of a movement that distinguishes this unique form of martial art.

Titled "Parada de cabeça" in Portuguese.
