Capoeira Regional also has forms or Kata. There are only a couple but they are known as sequencia, or sequences. The only one's I have seen are sequencia de Bimba (Mestre Bimba's sequences). I was instructed and had to memorize these sequences as they are typically part of the warm up for my former Grupo. Unlike other martial arts, the sequencia are not for testing or rank advancement. Since Capoeira is a freeform martial art, they typically serve as a warm up in the few Grupo I have had the privilege to view.

I trained in Capoeira for a short time. I do love the style, but I just don't think it is my thing.

The only time I've every been kicked in the head hard enough to make me see stars was during a Capoeira roda. My opponent didn't mean to hit me; he expected me to avoid his kick, but it was such as strange one that I could not see it coming.
