Closing on the single word malandragem is the best part for me: it shrugs off the hit and hands the Bahia guy a little credit at the same time. I've eaten that exact hit in a roda, the one that lands while you're still proud of the dodge, and the only fair answer is a laugh and more ginga.
Report from a capoeira practitioner (it's not a good report).

Today there was a capoeira showdown between a capoeirista from Minas Gerais vs a capoeirista from the state of Bahia. The main rule established for the dispute was not to hurt anyone, but after I played 4 rounds, a guy from the Bahia team managed to hit me, even though I had dodged and held the dodge. Anyway, “malandragem”.
