[QUOTE="Brock, post: 917070, member: 544716"] not exactly... " Fast tempos dictate games where the players throw fast, powerful kicks and blows at each other, along with movements reminiscent of the most acrobatic gymnastics. Slower tempos dictate more dance like interaction, and more deception between the two players. Lyrics to songs reflect the action. For example, if one player is obviously losing his cool, the Mestre might sing a traditional song about a bawling child who is crying. The lyrics serve to remind the upset player that he is losing his cool, and hence emotional balance, a key to good Capoeira play. On it's deepest level, Capoeira transcends martial arts, music and ritual and is a philosophical framework for approaching and interacting with the others and the world at large. It is a deep and holistic art form that pushes the practitioner to the proverbial limits - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually." im not from brazil but that doesnt mean i cant educate myself stuff that deals with it. you reminded me of a chirs rock quote when he was talking about '*****s like to be stupid' he said 'yeah man, i can count, 1-2-4-5, countin these rocks *****' classic ignorance at its best.
