Urban Ritual

Capoeira is treachery

 

“Entering into training or a roda, nothing else matters, everyone is equal and everyone shares the same experiences.”

“I like capoeira because it is a full body workout, I feel strong. When I play I feel excited and motivated. I would tell anyone considering capoeira to join…its good.”

“Capoeira reminds me who I am, and reminds me of my uniqueness and what I can do with it.”

“Apart from a skill, it also lays down rules which benefits those taking part. It offers positive benefits through developing respect for others. It’s also great fun.”

“It’s a group thing – we all learn off each other”

“Capoeira is a riddle and there is no answer.”

Life is a struggle? Life is a battle?
 The player sees that capoeira is teaching him to dance within and during this fight.
