I was born in Brazil and adopted by an American women. I’ve always desired to learn more about Brazilian culture but never had the opportunity. My friend Basir invited me to join him one class. I was scared at first because I gained some weight during the pandemic. I’m glad I went because it was amazing. I learned about Capoeira is the only martial arts born out of self defense. Growing up I loved martial arts movies like House of Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger; Hidden Dragon, and Romeo must Die. Capoeira has given me a lease on life. I’m exercising 5 times a week. I’m reading books again, which I haven’t done since college. I’m also learning history and music. Capoeira isn’t just fighting. It’s a lifestyle of community, perseverance, and passion. I’ll never forget the sense of accomplishment I felt when I got my hand flat on the ground. Getting “full palm” is like getting your first trifecta in a video game. It’s the equivalent of no death, speed run, and hardmode in a dungeon. Once you get full palm, it’s only a matter of time till you can bridge. once you can bridge, then you gain strength to learn how to do a cartwheel. Jessica is great and patient teacher. She’ll push you in a firm manner but never enough to injure yourself. I feel inspired every class and I take pride in my abilities.
Awesome class, great workout. Wonderful for kids and adults!
