Parafuso: Once you've got the basic double kick, which is like an armada jumping into a martelo, or meia lua de frente with the other leg, you can try to speed it up. Just lean further back, which takes alot of guts, and really whip the second leg, the goal being to land on both feet, or just on the kicking leg. Its much easier if you bend the armada leg once you are in the air, and kick the second leg like a meia lua as you learn, then when you are better, as a martelo, because its a faster kick. Another thing to remember is that the second kick doesn't have to be high. Aim for height with your jump and then speed for your kick. For more height, you swing your arms in a circular motion before the jump, as you can see in the picture sequence.

Armada Dupla (Evergado): To do this move, it helps to be able to do at least a basic parafuso and the suicidio (jumping up with both legs in front to touch your toes). Its hard to explain because its all one motion, but... starting from your ginga, step forward with the back leg like you are doing a Parafuso. You then step around with the other leg to bring both feet together while swinging your arms around and downward in a circular motion. Keep the arms swinging so that they are now going around and upward. Twist your torso toward the direction of the jump, and lean back. When you feel your body rising, kick hard off both feet. Remember, the swing of your arms is the key to height. Another thing to keep in mind is to go forward, not straight up, because that make it harder for your legs to rotate.
Variations:

• Into a mortal: This is a move my friend can do. You do the Armada Dupla, but once you're in the air, you flick back in a kind of mortal, your legs coming overhead.
• Tucked: Once you're in the air ball your body up, grabbing your knees like you're doing a kind of side summy.

Folha secca: Only attempt if you've got the salto mortal (back summy) down solid, and always remember your hands are always there to break your fall. If you are familiar with the Fosbury flop high jump technique, it will help. Take a walking step forward while swinging your arms gently back. Now kick the back leg up while swinging your arms and arching back like a mortal. Push off with your supporting leg when your kicking leg is about parallel to the ground (ie. you are going up, not forward). The kick, swing and push should all be a smooth motion. The sequence on the top show the "easy" way, which is to keep the kicking leg going up, and bringing the other leg up meet it. You should land on both legs. The other sequence is another way where you pretty much do nothing once you're in the air so that you land on the kicking leg. You can also try tucking your body (into a ball) completely when you are in the air.

Aú Sem Măo: My first move. First of all, practise the open Aú with both hands. Push hard with the inside foot so that you can hardly feel any weight on your hands. Next, practise the Aú with only the inside hand, then with only the outside hand. If you can do these pretty neatly, go for the Aú Sem Măo. For this move, the important thing is the swing of your upper body which starts the rotation, then once it has reached its limit (picture 4 in the above sequence), you push off hard with your inside foot. This move is also easier if you have flexible legs. Keep in mind the Capoeira rule of keeping your eyes on your opponent when you are doing the Aú, because that helps you do this move properly. Some Capoeiristas can get mean height, without their upper body going down at all. I don't know how to do this, so if anyone knows, please tell me!

Mariposa: You have to have a good butterfly kick (a kind of no hands horizontal cartwheel) to attempt this one (tips on how to do this coming soon), and I suggest you practise on soft ground. Stand with your legs as far apart as you would usually do before an Aú. Twist your body away from the direction of your spin (your spin will go toward you natural spinning side, just think which side you do your best armada, clockwise/anti-clockwise), with your weight on the far leg. Next, transfer your weight onto the front leg as you swing your body around, spreading your arms. Follow the swing not across, but around, so that your back leg comes up into the air. Once your body is ready to take off like in a butterfly, jump off the grounded leg and twist your torso hard, especially the shoulders, bringing in your arms for greater speed. Your head should be facing the direction of the spin. Your body should naturally try to land on its feet, although this may mean your knees if you are not high enough. Remember that the keys to this move is height and twisting your upper body.
