[10e] Moraingy bouts adopted these strikes after Imerina conquered coastal Madagascar. The zebra inspired Angola’s engolo suite of this general kind of blow, which influenced capoeira’s (“kah-poo-AY-ruh’s”) flashy armadas, martelos (“mar-TAY-loos”), and sweeps.
ANSWER: kicks [or kicking; accept kickboxing; accept use of legs, feet, the foot, heels, shins, or knees; accept roundhouse kicks; accept hook kicks or sweep kicks or ganchos]
