After getting free lessons from my brother and snatching a few from his trainers (thanks!heehee..XD). I'm officially enrolling! I've gotten over my bout with the cheapskate in me and since the semester is almost done (yes, i have a paper due in an hour that i haven't started working on yet. Apparently my bout with the procrastinator in me isn't anywhere close to finish =p), and my impossibly grotesque-ly wounded finger is no longer scary looking, say hello Ginga!
Why Capoeira?
Well..that's the third question. The first is, "What is Capoeira?"
If you used to play tekken, you'd know Eddy or Christie--that's their fighting style
How it originated?
Not too long ago, if you remember your history lessons in highschool (--i know i do, my then teacher was the modern incarnation of Queen Maleficient, twice the venom, minus the wardrobe) On with the story, remember the part with the slaves? This one took place in Brazil,if im not mistaken. the conquerors didn't want their slaves learning the art of fighthing, lest they become intellectual and come up with a successful coup plot.So what the natives did was make their version of martial arts, under the guise of dancing---and the rest is, as they say--i don't know anymore =p
Now the "why"
i just like it. Isn't that how most love of things are explained perfectly?
And besides, i like the idea of doing odas with my brother (yeah, he's waay far when it comes to skill level)--we look like twins--that's how our relatives put it--so we play the part--and i don't really mind--makes me look younger-him older.LOL XD
Pictures..will be up soon-hopefully
And i have to return to finish that final paper due in--30 minutes. oh joy
