My First Capoeira Class :D

Capoeira Class :-

Ah finally, the Rotary found Capoeira classes for us (an Australian Exchange ,Yuri & me :P), it was good, it was from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.. Four and a half hours of capoeira it was tiring. At the end of the day I couldn’t walk. The professor of capoeira was good, he dropped us back, and also invited us to watch the Senior Class, he spoke to Ricardo that as it is late he will pick us up & drop us back!! Below is a small introduction about capoeira, for who those who are new to this term :-

Capoeira (Portuguese pronunciation: [kapuˈejɾɐ]) is a Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts,sports, and music. It was created in Brazil mainly by descendants of African slaves with Brazilian native influences, probably beginning in the 16th century. It is known by quick and complex moves, using mainly power kicks and quick leg sweeps, with some ground and aerial acrobatics, knee strikes, take-downs, elbow strikes, punches and headbutts.

In martial arts the best or the master in other words where’s a “BLACK BELT” but in capoeira the master where’s a “WHITE BELT” which signifies that he is INVISIBLE.

Capoeira is really fun and exciting, and this is all I can say, the next class is tomorrow.
