Fui Lá Na Bahia . . .

Here's a short clip of me playing capoeira during my recent trip to Bahia, Brasil. Unfortunately I was having such a good time that most of my play was not recorded or I never got a copy. The near fall you see at the end is due to the uneven playing surface. I've become accustomed to Miami flat. Lol

Viva Zumbi!

Capoeira é superação!

I met Kpenga (in gray pants) on my recent trip to Bahia. He is a student of Contra-Mestre Kbeça and a great capoeirista. What you might NOT have noticed is his physical limitation. His right knee cannot bend at all, yet he does not consider it a disability. He recently won 1st place at a capoeira competition. They were not going to let him compete, but he insisted. We all have limitations in capoeira. Think how much you complain about yours. What if you used that energy to train instead?

New Song Lyrics

Sou Capoeira Ontem, Hoje e Amanhã
Professor Alemão Superação

Hoje sou mais capoeira do que ontem.

Sou menos capoeira do que amanhã.

Vou treinar, eu vou treinar.

Sou capoeira ontem, hoje e amanhã.
