Queixada (jaw or chin strike[1]) is a crescent kick in capoeira, like the inverse of a meia lua de frente.[2]
This kick targets the side of the opponent's head, or the opponent's chin (queixo in Portuguese).[2]
Queixada is one of the most common basic kicks in regional capoeira.
History
Anibal Burlamaqui claimed that he introduced the queixada (jaw) kick to capoeira.[3]
Pastinha referred to queixada as meia lua virada (turned meia lua).[4]
Variations
Queixada can be done in two ways: [2]
- with the back leg kicking
- with the front leg kicking
With the back leg kicking
In Bimba's version, queixada is a circular kick, where the player lift their leg from the inside to the outside in a circular motion and hit someone's chin with the outer side of the foot. Bimba noted that "it's essentially a strike with the outer side of the foot."[5]
With the front leg kicking
In Burlamaqui's version, one takes a step in front of the opponent and, always calculating the distance, quickly raises one leg, causing the foot to strike the opponent's jaw.[3]
