Since I plan on writing more about Capoeira, I thought I would give a short introduction with this clip, which I found on youtube. If there is anyone here who doesn’t know what Capoeira is, I recommend you to take a look at this short video.

Capoeira is an old Brazilian martial art, created by enslaved Africans during the 19th Century. It is often described as a mixture of a dance and a fight. Today there are classes in the art of Capoeira all over the world, which is a great opportunity for you to go and try the best kind of workout you will ever get. It is beautiful, fun and very difficult, but definitely worth the effort. I am not a skilled Capoeira player, but I am improving. Hopefully, in the future, I will be able to share some of my experiences with you, to master some of the different moves. Check out the video, sign up for a lesson and give yourself a chance to try a mind opening martial art.
