#capoeira update: It's batizado weekend! Already 2 days of workshops have passed and we're on the third day of actual batizado. So far I've shook a lot of hands, given and received a lot of kicks, and ran around stressing about food.

I'm not getting a belt because I'm supposed to stay at my level for a couple of years, so it feels very freeing to get to run around and support everyone else.

Also the floor of our batizado venue is very slippery.

#capoeira tonight: Two visitors! One in town for a conference and dropped by for class, and a friend of theirs who lives in town and is a friend of our group. Always fun!

Class was a more "chill" class that left everyone sweaty. About 2/3 of the way in Contramestra had to leave to pick up a kid so I closed out class with some tongue twister sequences and a practice roda.

If you are in the #jacksonvillefl area and would like to try #Capoeira, then I am inviting you to our weekly "Capoeira in the park" training sessions. These classes are led by me, and we will focus on basic to intermediate movements, #songs, #roda, and talk about the cultural relevance of the art.

Make sure you eat beforehand, bring water and snacks to keep your sugar up, and wear comfy sports clothing.
