I take Capoeira

For those of you who might not know what this is, it's the Brazilian Martial Arts that looks like a dance. Some of you may have seen the style in the popular video game Tekken with Eddy Guero, I tell you it's way awesome and such a workout. You're constantly moving, it's more of a strategy fight, not to mention there are various ways to attack and dodge.

I think this martial arts because for one, it's ORIGINAL!! Not a branch off another style and called something else, even though it's the same thing. The style dates back to african and brazilian slave days (where it was invented), there are a few school in the states, but not a lot. I go to the school here in Dallas, TX, our group is called "CapuraGinga". We got youtube videos and everything. Check it out if you'd like and give some feedback, I think this style is more friendly and open than other styles where it's all serious for no reason.
