Capoeira is.....


Capoeira is not just a martial art, it is an art. I sing I dance I fight. Capoeira gives me strength, confidence, makes me happy. It was love at first sight since that first jinga in Aug 2006. My free time is no longer about tv or just relaxing, it's about watching videos, talking about capoeira, thinking about capoeira, putting together combinations, practicing floreios...etc etc etc.

Weekends are no longer about going to the beach or park to relax, it's all about floreios and combinations. 24/7 capoeira is a full time job. I know that the more I practice, in class and outside class the better I will be. And the better I am, the happier I feel at my accomplishment.

I have already surpassed all expectations I had of myself. I never thought I'd be physically able to do the things I'm doing. This is the beauty of it. Capoeira really is for everyone. There is a place in capoeira for everyone.
