| Im just curious if anyone on here is from brazil and if so do you practice capoeira. They have a class opening here soon and im thinking of joining , but dont know if im to old to start something like that. I think its the most beautiful martial art. |

Well, I don't really practise capoeira, but I can play the berimbau :D
As Swamper said, as long as you're flexible, I don't see a problem. Your instructor/teacher/master will certainly give you some advice, and tell you what you need (and whether you're fit to practise) :)

| It's a fun art.... the Yoga of martial arts I call it. It good for fitness and art, not for helping when you're in inevitable trouble. |

yeserp, Brasileiro aqui!
Yeh i know a little but its hard to master the "ginga" once you first start but after that it gets easier, i think every brazilian knows a little bit of capoeira, back in 2000 or so it was like the biggest thing. |

I don't :(
As a matter of fact, I learnt how to play the berimbau from a Japanese exchange student... :p |

lol sry, i remember when i went to bahia and i bought a cheap birimbau, i was so horrible but after a couple of weeks i got the hang of it, hit x 5 stop with the rock, that would be all i can do:D someone should incorporate that in a nice house tune. |

I'm not, but every single bloody tourist in Sydney is. It gets annoying because you bastards don't tip :whip:
Hot women though :D

yeh its not a big custom in brazil to tip, so dont pick on us so much, but someone should really get get the general facts on the country they are visiting, that is just etiquete. |

Na it's just one of those things where too much of one type of people just suffocates you. Sometimes I feel like I'm in Brazil.
When I was in Croatia I felt like I was in Australia which annoyed the hell out of me. Went on holiday to get away and every second person was an Aussie. Grrr!
No hate for anyone though. Brazilians are pretty fun people ;) |
