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?
