So you mean the drunken boxing that I picked up is a similar center of balance to Capoeira?

I think the reason someone who studies Drunken Fist would have an easier time to transfer is because they are more light on their feet, and would find it easier to do things like a one handed hand stand with a kick, then someone in TKD who always kicks while upright.

Having fought both drunken and capoeira, studied capoeira, and been friends with drunken style users, I'd say a person who has studied drunken should have an easier time studying capoeria than another person transfering from a style.

The drunken's stance is not stationary, just like in the idea of jinga(the capoeira basic stance). The concept of tricking your opponent is in both styles, and should show as common ground to someone studying both.

It would be easier for a drunken style user to learn capoeira than a karate user due to their corralations to capoeira, with drunken being much closer than karate.
