I need something to focus on, a challenge, bring my senses back to my body-mind connection.
And this is it. So I looked through ebay for a good deal and found a copy of the book everyone tells me to get: THE LITTLE CAPOEIRA BOOK - GOOD READ!
Looking through a few websites, putting some info together, slowly building up a plan to get back into shape. It was when I came across this website when I really began to smile. From what I have read so far, I prefer to stick to the more traditional Angola style, stick with traditions and see how it goes...
So many forums, so many good websites from all around the world, so many facts to absorb, so much knowledge about the artform itself, I haven't even started getting into the moves and things...
I do know that this will take a long time to get into, mainly because I haven't been physically active since I gave up track sports in 1998... good thing I still have time on my side. But then again, I noticed that the sport (if you can call it a sport) is not about how high you can jump and kick, it isn't about competing with ego on your physical aspects, it goes so much more deeper --a personal challenge.
This is what I really liked about it. I can't wait to get my book this wekk and read more about it, get started on my fitness program and contact a few capoeira groups in the area.
Its a good start. My aim: By December, I hope to be a little descent in my attempts of grasping the vast moves and information.
They say you never really get out of the beginner stage until year 5....
Thats good. I'll just get started up now.
I think I should include a good link for every post I make, my choice is this website for all the good downloadable videos and tips on stretching and improvng flexibility. Some of the videos made me smile, a little humour to it, I like. Good website!
