So if all goes well, we’ll have our first meeting this Thursday the 24th at 7pm in the Aerobics Room just like last semester.

I hope everyone can make it!

Anyone who has ever wanted to try it out, please feel free to come to class and give it a shot.  You won’t be disappointed.

Well we’ve finally got the schedule figured out and finalized.  It was a pain in the ass, but hopefully what we’ve come up with will work for everyone.

The club will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm – 8pm. 

Like the title says, the first class will be next Tuesday, the 18th.  I’m very excited, and I hope to see everyone come back.  Also, tell your friends, and bring some newcomers.  We’ll all be starting fresh, and this is the best time for new members to join in.

I can’t wait to see y’all next week, it’s gonna be a good time.

I hope you are all having fun going back to school and classes and whatnot.  I’m jealous. 

So far I’m not sure of when we’ll be meeting.  We still have to finalize the times.  I will post the new schedule up here as soon as I hear anything about it.

In the meantime, you can still practice on your own, or get together whenever the aerobics room is free.  Or even go outside and practice on the grass.  Just to get back into the flow and remember everything you probably forgot over the summer.

You can also brush up on your capoeira history and whatnot, go have a look at my Capoeira Blog for all sorts of good discussion and information.  And while you’re at it, join Capoeira Espaco, a social network for capoeiristas. 

I hope y’all are excited as I am to start the new year.  See you soon.

Yeah, I was kind of productive today. I used up the rest of the clips that I had to make a couple of random videos. We gotta make some new ones next year! Here you go Laura.

The dives!

Gotta love takedowns and screwups.

And I made this for my capoeira blog.

I hope everyone’s summer is going well.  I can’t wait to get started again in the fall!

Laura yelled at me and said I need to make a new video, I will get on that soon!  I still have some leftover footage I can cut together to make a good one, so stay tuned.

For those of you looking to keep up with your capoeira over the break, you can check out my newest venture: The Capoeira Blog.  Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for what I’m doing over there.

Well it’s the beginning of July now, I won’t be seeing any of you for another two months or so, but I’m excited.  CapuraGinga has a batizado in September, maybe a group of you guys can come down!

That’s it for now.  Stay cool, keep practicing, and don’t break anything important!

I put together a new video.  Here it is.

I have two more to make.  So stay tuned.

So it looks as if we’re gonna cancel class on Thursday March 29th.  Class is still on for next Tuesday (before you leave for Easter break) but I’ll keep you updated if things change.

There is an open house for incoming freshman this Sunday (April 1st) which I will be attending with Abby (and anyone else is welcome to come show support for the club!).

Abby is also going to have a meeting with the Club Sports people so we can figure out what our budget looks like and decide on a way to get to the gymnastics place.  We might be able to borrow a van.

Aaand finally, the Dance Team asked us to participate in a dance showcase they are putting on.  It’s on April 29th (a Sunday) at 5pm.  I told Amy (the coach) that we’d be interested, but we have to figure out who all can make it.  I might ask some of my people from CapuraGinga to join us.

That’s all for now.

It seems like people have a lot of work to do and can’t make it to class, so we’ll cancel class tonight.  We’re also cancelling on Thursday, because it’s right before spring break.

It works out for me because I’m not feeling too hot at all.

I hope y’all have a good spring break, and I’ll see you in two weeks.  Keep practicing while you’re on vacation!

no Apparently we won’t be doing a demonstration on the 28th anymore.  This is less than ideal, because I was looking forward to doing a demo, but that’s ok.  Hopefully we can get one set up for Charlie’s or something else before the end of the year.

Also, the pants are in!  Now you can look like a capoeirista, they’re guaranteed* to improve your game!

*no actual studies have been done to prove this claim.

Check out this video I found on YouTube yesterday, it’s insane. 

Seriously if you want to get new ideas for moves and combinations and such, watching videos on YouTube is a great thing to do.

I made a new “sampler” video, check it out.

Also, we’ve been asked to do a demonstration on Wednesday, February 28th during the intramural basketball championship. We’ll be performing at about 9:30, but I think everyone should show up at 9 just to be there early and to warm up. It’ll be a good time.
