How to practice for Mortal

Oi Everybody,

I’d like to share a video for those interesting in practicing back-flips and other mortals…

Don’t practice by yourself: ask the help of other capoeiristas who know the technic and can help you. As said in the video, use a “trained” person to help you! Please watch the video until the end since they are some interesting stuff about common mistakes.

“No Quintal da Minha Casa” Lyrics

Tava no quintal da minha casa
O menino me chamou pra vadiar
Eu no meu joguinho bem manero
Vou jogando bem ligeiro
Como o berimbau mandar

Coro

Tava no quintal da minha casa
O menino me chamou pra vadiar
Eu no meu joguinho bem manero
Vou jogando bem ligeiro
Como o berimbau mandar

Coro

Sua capoeira é ligeira
A minha é devagar

Coro

Sua capoeira é ligeira
A minha é devagar

Coro

Não jogue com tanta agonia
Por que nesta roda
Aqui não vai dar

Coro

Tava no quintal da minha casa
O menino me chamou pra vadiar
Eu no meu joguinho bem manero
Vou jogando bem ligeiro
Como o berimbau mandar

Source: Global Times, November 19th 2010.

While kung fu can turn someone into a lethal weapon, it probably won’t do much for their dance moves. Fortunately for those hoping to add some swing to their self-defence there is the latest cultural export to explode out of Brazil: the indigenous martial art known as Capoeira. At a gym near Zhongshan Park you can find Capoeiristas practicing this acrobatic martial art. Every Saturday the doors of the gym are open to those who want to give this unique sport which combines music, dancing and self-defense a try. Currently there are around 40 men and women from all over the world taking part in Capoeira Mandinga Shanghai.
