** Capoeira é defesa, ataque, ginga do corpo, e malandragem. ** Hello, and Welcome to Gaia's First Official Capoeira Thread! We are currently the longest-existing Capoeira thread with the largest group of Capoeiristas joined together in one place! While older threads have died and been forgotten, mostly due to Capoeira itself being not as well known, here we strive to always keep the conversation interesting and going, so the thread itself doesn't die. This thread is not only for people who already do Capoeira, it's also for those who take an interest in it and would like to try it out! My personal belief is that Capoeira is for everyone, so everyone should at least give it a try! 3nodding We encourage you to come in, chat a little, and give us a chance to interest you in it! If you're not into martial arts, no worries! I myself am the biggest example. I wasn't into martial arts at all, my entire life, it held no interest whatsoever to me. That didn't change the love that Capoeira would put into my heart. If you ARE into martial arts, great! 3nodding Capoeira can be one more passion! Please enjoy your stay in our thread! We're glad to have you here! ~* About the Thread Creator *~ - Hello, you may call me either Belle (real name), or Novela (Capoeira nickname) 3nodding I am a Brazilian girl who came to live in the United States in early 2004, and have always admired Capoeira as a beautiful and useful form of art, and a fighting style. Recently, by the beginning of 2008 (March, to be exact), I started taking Capoeira classes, and right now I am aiming for my third Batizado (Baptism, in portuguese - a graduation), and to get my Troca de Corda (exchange of cords). Right now my cord is green-yellow, which is the second cord given in my Group (Capoeira Guerreiros), but keep in mind that the colors change depending on what group you're a part of. I in no way think that Capoeira is better than any other sport or martial art; it is merely my personal choice of a sport, and to keep fit. I also think that the Gaia community has a lack of Capoeira related threads, so I am creating this one sweatdrop Hoping that it will attract more Capoeiristas, and hopefully build a small group, to have fun and talk about what we love! heart |
