As per usual, my capoeira has been painfully sporadic. Once again I will attempt to get into the class being held at the Uni (if only I can find it.. for some reason neither the teacher nor the class is showing up in the class catalog.. figures). There is once again hope in my heart.
My exciting news is that Anchorage had a visiting Mestre! I was able to experience a roda, with a mestre, live music and song, and experienced capoeiristas (as in more than my teacher) for the first time. It was a…

I was overweight before capoeira. I weighed over 200 pounds with no workout or exercise whatsover. I was simply a slob.
But one day, I saw this incredible fighting game everybody knows as Tekken and I instantly loved the moves of one Eddie Gordo (or Christie if you really want to be uber specific). I wanted to learn how to dance and move like that.
I started to research on the internet reading blogs and online
essays about the good effect…

a gift from Chicote, i hope he doesn't mind me posting his efforts here:
Capoeira toques
Angola
Considered the oldest and most traditional toque. Used for the Angola game, a slow performance where players demonstrate balance and corporal expression.
Benguela
In many schools played extremely close and with much deception. Some schools play this as a slower, safer Regional game.
São Bento grande de Bimba
Often called São Bento grande de Regional or just Regional. Mestre Bimba’s fast, exp…

Berimbau me leva
Berimbau me leva e Capoeira vai jogar
Berimbau me leva e Capoeira vai jogar
Camarada venho de longe
Trazendo meu berimbau
Fazendo da capoeira
Minha vida meu ideal
Berimbau me leva e Capoeira vai jogar
Berimbau me leva no passado
Me leva nos tempos de crianca
Onda a vida e a brincadeira
E a saudade e uma lembranca
Berimbau me leva e Capoeira vai jogar
Berimbau me livra dos perigos
Separe ador da traicao
Seja sempre meu amigo
Neste mundo de aprovacao
Berimbau me leva e Capoeira va…

Eu Sou Movido Pela Capoeira
Na ladainha de Angola
Nas quadras da regional
No gingar do capoeira
No toque do berimbau
Eu sou movido pela capoeira
Eu sou movido pelo berimbau
O mundo fica pequeno
Quando a roda comenca
Expresso o meu sentimento
Deixo o meu corpo falar
Eu sou movido pela capoeira
Eu sou movido pelo berimbau
Ela e minha estrela guia
E ela que vem e me leva
Peco a deus e agradeco
por ter conhecido ela
Eu sou movido pela capoeira
Eu sou movido pelo berimbau
Elea e minha vida,
e…

A Mare A mare
A MARE A MARE, ME LEVA AO CEU
A MARE A MARE, ME LEVA AO CEU
A jangada me leva
pra outro lugar
eu nao sei onde eu vou
nas ondas do mar
REFRAO
O chicote me corta
me faz chorar
eu nao quero mais isso
eu vou-la pro mar
Refrao
Eu perdi a raçao
meu sofrimento
por que a escraviçao
no ten fundamento
Refrao
vou me embora da terra
eu vou pro mar
no navio negreiro
peço a ienamjah

Amor, e meu amor

E na dança do amor vou te expressar,
Que você e a minha vida e nunca vou te deixar,
Oh meu amor
Coro: amor e meu amor

Agora estou aqui, to pensando em vc,
Que ilumina esse caminho, aonde eu quero caminhar,
A ginga já me leva como as ondas levam o mar,
Meu peito já palpita, eu quero me apaix…

Dear Friends,
As many of you know, we have sign a contract to open our own capoeira academy! Its a long time dream and with a few minutes and/or a few dollars, you could help us make this happen.
We are working to raise $1000 to cover the start-up costs to bring the academy up to code and pass inspection. The location is fantastic, but requires some carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work. We are repairing and painting the walls, redoing the bathroom, and putting in a shower . Please click on…

The best HGH is the human growth hormone that is already found in your body. Receiving it by injection is definitely the quickest way to increase your levels of HGH; but it is not a healthy method, especially over a long period of time. Arthritis often occurs, as well as a number of other side effects, ev

Reasons you know you are obsessed with Capoeira
this is something i found, and i do most of these things:D
Reasons you know you are obsessed with Capoeira
1. Sometimes you just get this urge to be upside down.
2. You have memorized the lines to Only the Strong.
3. Every time you get up from a fall or sitting on the ground, you negativa and right yourself in a role.
4. You constantly check to see if the white pants a random person on the street is wearing are capoeira pants.
5. Every article…

This is something i found.
So here you are, friends, the eight qualities that make a great capoeirista.
A great capoeirista must be:
Creative: I think the creative aspect is one of the top three things that draws me to capoeira. The capoeira game is beautiful, and beauty is best expressed through our creative side. A capoeirista must be creative (I’m not saying you need to be an artist or playwrite, mind you) in order to fully appreciate what capoeira can offer. Your mestre can only teach you…

After 6 long months of recovery in Brazil from an ACL repair, my teacher, our Contra-Mestre, is back at our Brooklyn studio. I knew I missed him, but I didn't realize just how much until I saw him playing again, singing again, teaching again.
I feel so fortunate to have a teacher who I feel really understands me. He knows just the right thing to say to get me to understand a movement and make it happen. Plus, most importantly, he knows exactly how to give me confidence in myself by showing how…
