62 Connecting to Capoeira


There are many many ways for us to connect with/to Capoeira, and here are a few examples:


Always show up to class, starting with your teacher, support 100% of your class by showing up, getting material from your teachers such as instruments, t-shirts, hats, pants, or any material provided by them.

Learning the history behind Capoeira, or ask your teacher to help with that.

Learn Brazilian culture or ask about it, which will give you a basic understanding of what Capoeira is today days. You will be surprised by how everything is connected.

Learn Instruments; I would repeat this so much, learn Berimbau (I’m going to do a follow up with my previous Berimbau episode), learn atabaque and pandeiro, those are the basics and essential for Capoeira!

And again I am going to keep saying this, learn Portuguese, that is going to give you so much understanding of this amazing art, trust me with this, you will be happy how much you can learn by understanding Portuguese!

60 – 8 Tips to Be a Better Student

I was wondering the other day, What does it take to be a good Instructor, then right after asking myself about that, my mind followed with this… Now, What does take to be a good student?… So I came up with all these 8 points.

But before digging into that, let’s define the word “Student”. I google it and this is what I found good for my personal understanding -and honesty I don’t remember the specific source, so don’t crucifix me for that.

Student(noun) a person engaged in study; one who is devoted to learning; a learner; a pupil; a scholar; especially, one who attends a school, or who seeks knowledge from professional teachers or from books; as, the students of an academy, a college, or a university; a medical student; a hard student.

Here are the points I think I like on a good student:

Positive Attitude
Listens
They follow instructions
Seeks improvement
Acepts teacher’s critics
Team player
Always shows up
They’re Involved

51 Some Good Reason for Drills and Repetition

Thank you so much for listening, your support means a lot to me, and because it means a lot to me, please show me some love by following the Podcast on any platform you are listening right now and also subscribe to the YouTube channel.

Personally I think drills and repetitions are so boring, but they are so crucial for our performance and capoeira game, if we don’t practice the drills then that can lead to bad performance in the capoeira game, including lack of distance, lack of timing and lack of good form. Drills and repetitions can help us improve in many aspects in our capoeira journey, including partner and music practice!… We are living the Internet era, where we get information in a matter of seconds, but when it comes to physical activities we want the same results and sometimes it gets us frustrated because we want results NOW!!… But we (including myself) can’t forget that practice is what capoeira is about. Here are just a few points I mentioned in this episode. What drills do you like to practice more?

*Solo Drills:
Muscle Memory
Better Performance & Prevent injuries
Improve Weaknesses

*Partner Drills:
Distance
Targeting
Control

*Capoeira Music Drills:
Patterns
Timing
variations
