It was a sunny winters day in London, when I first heard the music. Exotic instruments, hypnotic rhythms. I turned round. Was it a dance? Some sort of fight? Acrobatics? "What is it?" Capoeira ". Capo what?" Ca-po-ei-ra. A Brazilian martial art. As I later discovered, its all found of these things and more. It originated nearly 400 years ago as a form of self-defense amongst African slaves. They disguised it as a folk dance to make it acceptable, and it developed from there. Brazilians say they play capoeira like a game, not a fight. its quite difficult to learn, but I do not do it just to get in good physically fit; its the mind-body-spirit connection that begins to change you. You meet so many different people? especially Brazilians, and they have a completely different take on life. I used to be very shy, but Ive lost some of my inhibitions-and i dont get uptight when things go wrong. I enjoy life and appreciate the good things. Anyone can find some from of identity in capoeira. For instance, a big city person might see it as a dorm of self-defence, while for others its a way of life. its philosophy is to release good energy. When everybodys facing each other in the circle, and the instruments are playing, and everybodys focusing on the two players in the middle, singing and clapping to the music, youre definitely going to feel something. And if you dont, then youre not doing it right. Нужно составить 10 вопросов к тексту, чтобы там был ответ, помогите пожалуйста!!
