capoeira

Last saturday I have finally fulfilled a dream, learning Capoeira. It was everything I imagined it to be and more.

The class didn't start with katas, instead they threw us into the fray teaching us kicks, dodges and *cartwheels*.

If you knew me you know how improbable the last was. I did this increadibly lame cartwheel that looked more like a broken square box than a wheel but it was fun!

Capoeira utilizes all parts of the body but most of all the legs, which means you'll be limping out of the gym and resembling a refuge than a supposedly healthy martial artist.

Up to now, I can still feel the pain. I can barely walk and stand let alone *crouch* does that mean I won't return to the class? Hell no!

I love it!

*Yes, I am occasionally strange* XDD
