I am 27 years old and was first introduced to Capoeira from a cheesy but entertaining movie called “Only The Strong”. The beginning scene with the soldier and the Capoeiristas was awesome. It was honestly my favorite scene. I have always loved music and dancing (all kinds) and I wanted to practice a martial art but none really appealed to me…til I came across the beautiful poetry of body movement. I have been practicing a little over a year and through the learning, I have been able to apply Capoeira to all aspects of my life.
