Can Goldberg do Capoeira Moves?

Former WCW wrestling champ Bill Goldberg may be bringing a mei lua de compasso and other capoeira moves to an MMA ring near you. He had this to say in recent interview when asked how he got into mixed martial arts:

"I went out and spent thousands upon thousands of dollars during the onset of my wrestling career to get every MMA tape I could find. From Sambo to Capoeira to Jiu-Jitsu to every single thing I could find. I pulled old UWF tapes, old Pancrase tapes; I've studied these guys from top to bottom, and felt as if I learned a little bit about the guys at the same time."

I was a WWF fan back in the late 90s so I was never crazy about Goldberg (I thought he was trying to be too much like Stone Cold). But maybe that would have changed if I saw him doing some cartwheels and headstands in the ring!
