Saludos desde México, muy chido el blog, felicitaciones y mucho Axé para la capoeira.

Muito Axé

I just wanted to thank you for writing this blog.
I’ve been playin’ capoeira for almost a year now(it’ll be a year in July). And I really enjoy your blog.
I’ve played Capoeira Angola before, at my 1st batizado. And I loved playing it. Although Capoeira Angola isn’t my style(I being taught in the miudinho style), I still love it. And hold a very strong respect for it.

paz y amor
Che

I’m Jali from Indonesia. I’m so glad that I found your blog that mainly written in capoeira angola topics.

Now, I learned capoeira in one of the most famous regional grupo in the country. Actually, a few months after my batizado last year, i just realized that capoeira angola is the one for me.
That “moment of truth” was happened when I watched Cobra Mansa’s videos and often in the middle of the jogo, I laughed, worry, curious, sometimes I feel the excitement about what was gonna happen to his opponents, what kind of trickery he would use.

I don’t know how to explain it but when I watched his videos, I could feel “something”. Maybe it was some conversations in physical movements or something else.
I just don’t feel the same emotional attachment when I watch or perform in another style.

It’s so sad that there is no capoeira angola grupo in Indonesia and I found that capoeira angola enthusiasts are minorities. FYI, in my class, only three people who really enjoy playing angola, and we even practice angola outside our formal class with the guide of Mr. Youtube. ;P

I promise myself that my informal angola class will not go in vain. I have a dream that I’ll bring Cobra Mansa or one of capoeira angola mestres come in Indonesia and open classes. Or maybe if you have a plan to go in my country, let me know so we can practice together )

Hmm…that’s all I –capoeira angola lover– want to share with you as an angoleiro.

Warmest regards from Indonesia, salve!
