Doing the MACACO and the shadey caffiene junky

[kumbunny]

Since clearing the courtyard the other day, I have inadvertingly created so much new space for me to successfully do my capoeira training. And also created; from an old chain and a hollowed out piece of metal my - my own chin press. Which I am dangling down from the porch across the courtyard

What is Capoeira? A martial art I'm guessing.
I had to give up alchol, sugar and dairy for a long time, coffee was my only treat...so good luck with that.

Capoeira is an afro-brazilian form of dance / martial arts.

It stems from the slave culture exported to the New World. Since training slaves in combat was illegal they adopted a dance to help train those to develop the required strength and skill to overthrow an armed army in close combat.

I have a few websites. One is linked from the original post. And has a collection of - what the author of the website refers to as - "basics". =)

thanks for that, I thought it sounded familiar. I remember one of the characters in Bloodsport practised the style.
