Sweet
all right, all right…I give up. What the shits a capoeira? and how is it pronounced?
yah, great pics and great moves! I can smell the sweat…
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed initially by African slaves in Brazil, starting in the colonial period. It is marked by deft, tricky movements often played on the ground or completely inverted. It also has a strong acrobatic component in some versions and is always played with music.

Awesome pictures man!
How did you like my Muay Thai picture?
That was a really good photo, perfect timing.
Did Adam participate in this one?.. I thought I saw him sitting in the circle sidelines in one of the shots..
Yeah he’s there on the sidelines. We just missed his performance because we were busy stuffing our faces with Indian food nearby and thought the belt test would be very last. Needless to say, they were first. Oh, well.
