Hi all,
Just a quick post for the ones who were there on Monday: those were the movement we practiced:
Ginga: the main dance step of capoeira
Meia Lua: litteraly half moon: the first (and easy) front standing kick
rabo de raia: stingray tail: low spining kick with hands on the ground
esquiva: mid escape movement
negativa: literally negative; lower defense
rolé: roll
aú: the kind of cart-wheel with the legs in front of you we did at the end of the class
At the beginning we played some music.
The orchestra is called bateria and he instruments are called:
berimbau
pandeiro
agogo (2 tin cans: it is supposed to be a cowbell)
reco-reco (1 tin can: also known as güiro)
we are missing the atabaque, which is like a big drum (conga-like)
The songs we sang are:
Oi sim sim sim
São Bento me chama
and can be found here
Next week we most probably sing Boa Viagem which is as well there. So you could learn it and have a go on Monday ;)
Next week, we will introduce some new movements like
Benção (front kick which projects the opponent far away ;) )
Cabeçá (headbutt)
Tisoura (scissors) done with the legs on the floor while pushing yourself with hands.
Rasteira (sweep opponent's foot)
which still are quite basic moves
And to start developping our Mandinga, (and make it more playful for our senior players ;) ) we will work on many different variations of Rabo de Raia with Rasteira, cabeçá, tisoura,.....
Solta mandinga!!!!!!
