It's never too late to start... It's trying and humbling no matter how long you train for which I guess is why some never start and some never stop.

Born in Bahia..

Nice man! You have a beautiful country! I was in Brazil about 2 years ago and I stayed for a couple weeks. I was stayed in Sao Paolo, Ilheus (which was the best), and Patos De Minas, MG... I can't wait to go back!

Capoeira is bad ass but it's more of a dance than a martial art really. It's cool to watch though!

BlackjacK · 02-13-2007, 11:27 AM

I was born in Brazil also, took 2 lessons of it when I was like 10... now I wish I had taken more classes

Where in Bahia? (I´ll not speak in portuguese....I can be banned...LOL)....I have family at Salvador, every year I go there and hang out for about 30 days. In a couple of year I want to open a bar or something like it at Praia do Forte....and of course, spent the rest of my life there.....hehehehehe....

I´ve praticed capoeira for years and had to quit because of my health condition......it´s a great sport....people said that it´s a dance because of it´s history (it was brought form africa by slaves, and when they were permforming it or praticing it, they slowed down the movement so it wont appear that it was a fight style) .....if my doctor say that I´m 100% again, I´ll back to pratice capoeira again.

At the game Tekken 3, the guy who was used like model (and got all the moves scanned) is a brazilian capoeira master....I can´t remember his name now, but a TV Channel here made a interview with him when Tekken 3 was released.

I now praia do forte and everything else.. I'm taking a vacation..

I love it when people say that! Like any martial art, it's only effective when you are REALLY good at it...

I always wanted to try Krav Maga. Did BJJ for a couple months or so, but then the trainer guy quit =( Was so fun too.
