I just had my fourth Brazilian Capoeira lesson today and I’m hooked, line and sinker. The music, the movements, the partnership, the mind challenge – all of it combined to give me something to completely get lost in during that 1.5 hour lesson. I visualize my performance, see and feel the movements in my head. I have found my new physical passion at last, one that I can incorporate into workouts with my own fitness clients. The feeling that my calves have been bludgeoned and the taped up blisters on my toes – my teachers promise me the pain will all be over soon. But to be as good as these guys, I think I’m looking at 20 more years in the roda!
