So there was a request for more roda videos.

Well here’s a video of my teacher, Professor Barrãozinho, doing…….mmmm….I could explain it but it’s more fun to watch.

As soon as I saw this video, I had to share it.

A fellow capoeirista used her creative genes to create a video montage of clips from the Vancouver 2009 batizado dvd, and set the music to Disney Mulan’s “I’ll Make a Man Out of You”.

The brilliance of the video really captures how hard we train and all the hard work capoeiristas are capable of.

Enjoy!

Reminder: No class this Tuesday at December 28, 2010. Classes will resume Tuesday January 4, 2011.

So to fill in the void, how about an old school video of capoeira solos from some of the best capoeiristas in the world.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Here’s the meia lua de compasso kick we learned the other day, used effectively in a fight situation. This is Professor Barrãozinho, and he is my teacher. I got to see this knockout, live! It was one of the sickest and craziest thing I have ever seen in real life. It’s still crazy to see on video.
