Here a young member of Grupo Engenho da Bahia, Salvador peforms a fast 360 btwist. It can also be done straight from meia-lua de compasso which would keep it more 'in the game. It winds up (annoys) capoeiristas when moves from our art are appropriated by others and renamed... so I'm not about to do the same to Kung-Fu. Nevertheless butterfly-twist is an English translation of I don't know exactly what original chinese term and in Brazil this move is known as Mariposa (moth), Parafuso (screw) or Parafusetta. Tricksters and Parkour tend to shorten it to btwist.
