Capoeira



I went to a friend's birthday party last night at a club and I was pleasantly surprised to see a performance of "Capoeira." Originally Capoeira was a Afro-Brazilian art form that combined martial arts, music, and dance. Basically these guys take turns pulling out these fancy acrobitic moves. This is called "sparring" and is characterized by acrobatic play, extensive sweeps, kicks, and head butts. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira) Sounds good right? Yeah it was pretty cool. Made me feel about as coordinated as a sloth.
