sguardian your claim is completely false. there is absolutely no evidence that capoeira was practiced in africa before brazil. why is it that capoeira is all over brazil and almost nowhere in africa? you say it was used when they were at war and also at ceremonies? wrong.
I don’t think there …
I don’t think there should be much debate as to it’s origins. Capoeira may have become “Capoeira” in Brazil, but the lineage of movement began with Africans from Angola and the Congo region. Simply calling it “Brazilian” is not only inaccurate but also does a disservice to the individuals and culture that actually created the art. Especially considering that Brazil even outlawed it for decades and punished the Africans who practiced it.

strange is this …
strange is this video in net, since when capoira can be played like that. i thought teach capoeira like that, by video, was not allowed. Here in Bahia I’m a bit sure the capoeira mestre will not like to see nothing like that. As is said up there, capoeira is much more than moviment, is axe.
O mais estranho mesmo foi o modo como o professor ensinou os passos, parecia que tava sabendo que tava fazendo algo errado. Sei n, isso é globalização mesm. quem vai ter coragem de ser contra né???

sorry, but capoeira is a joke of a fighting style. Bruce Lee himself would laugh at it. Its wasted energy and easy to counter. You all are wasting your time. Sure , its “pretty” but unless you get lucky in a street fight, youre pulp

my back is already healed but whenever i work out my back the next day it will kill me, i think i worked out too hard on my spine from earlier bridges and messed up my back, i can do some small workouts and strengthen my back? am afraid my back will never heal.
If you have a bad …
If you have a bad back then it’s best to avoid bridge until you heal your back.
Things that can help you improve flexibility so you can get into the bridge without pain include stretching your hip flexors, stretching your upper abs, and doing myofacial release for your lats and rib cage on the foam roller.
All this is easy and if you do it daily for about 10-15 min. you will see a huge improvement pretty quickly. You may also want to consider strengthening your core with planks.
