Capoeira

Capoeira is slowly working its way into my life. As much as I've been resisting starting to study it given my already hectic life schedule, I now find myself entertaining the idea, even looking up local instructors. I first learned about Capoeira a few years ago but recently I had the opportunity to talk to someone who's been a capoeirista his entire life. His stories, comments, and reflections about this martial arts sport reminded me of the time in my life when I'd get up at 4 am to practice and train for sports - at the time, getting up so early to do something so challenging was one of the hardest things I did. But now, it's a feeling I miss. And as I think this, I glance over at the stack of canvases leaning against the wall - I miss that too. I feel like I have to make time for all these things I enjoy and all those things, like Capoeira, I want to start to enjoy. At the same time, I'm told that "meeting the right person is a full time job" lol Great, so I'll be single forever? Really, whoever came up with that idea I don't think has a clue.

I'm in, let's do it together. I know a great mestre too. You're so lucky you got to interview a real pro. A few years ago Mike from Florida started studying with a mestre, I forget what branch of capoeira, and anyway he recommended one in LA. So what do you say? Let's do it. We can even go practice in SM like we used to talk about for yoga.
