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.

You know what’s funny. I’ve been training for so long that I totally forgot how hard it is to sing and clap at the same time when you first start out. Especially when you’re singing in another language. And I quickly realized it when I taught your first song. But it brought back some good memories. I remember that I couldn’t do it at first and told another capoeirista how hard it is to do both things at the same time. And he says to me, “Try playing an instrument and sing.” Haha, he’s right, that’s harder.
There really is no trick to accomplishing this task. It’s quite simple really. It’s practice. Now the clapping is quite easy. I’m sure you can master it in only a few claps and repetitions. It’s adding the singing that makes it quite difficult. So my tip, simply put, learn the song. Learn it so that you can sing it effortlessly. Sing it in the shower. Sing it in the drive to work. Eventually you will learn how the song and rhythm match. And once you get the rhythm of the song, you’ll understand the beats. And to further help understand the beats, you’ll use clapping. And by combining singing and clapping together, already you’ve improved your coordination and improved your rhythm of your game with the music.
Imagine that. Singing AND clapping. Two minor things (from a fitness point of view) that help majorly in capoeira. See? Capoeira isn’t all about the cool flips and kicks.
