Rasteira is a foot sweep technique in capoeira, which usually counters high kicks.[1] It is one of the fundamental techniques in traditional capoeira.[2]
Rasteiras are quick, unexpected moves that can disrupt the opponent's balance.[1] Instead of meeting the kick with a block, the rasteira follows the same direction of the attack turning the opponent's force against himself. Mastering the rasteira takedown technique is a hallmark of an exceptional capoeiristas.[3]
Along with meia lua de compasso, rasteira is considered as a trademarks of capoeira.[4] Like many other core capoeira techniques, rasteira was developed within Angolan martial art engolo.[5][6]
Capoeira sweeps can be done from crouching, standing, front, back, and fall positions.
