Whimsical wonderer who found himself a place alongside web design, digital art and capoeira.
Adventurous and creative spirit, passionate soul and warming heart.
Capoeira has a term named "dendê". It has different interpretation according to different people. In my interpretation, it refers heightened state of focus, entering in fluid state of mind, body and spirit, allowing smooth and free movement within one's capabilities.
Throws (also known as 'Baloons') exist in Capoeira. These techniques are usually trained with Capoeira Sequences and rarely used in plays.
Capoeira allows the use of "rasteiras" (sweeps). They require timing and some skill, but they don't necessarily have to be followed through. It can just be marked (or placed) to let the partner know that "you got him" (or not!), which allows the game to continue nice and smooth.
One theory as to how Capoeira came to be what it is today, is how the slaves danced while guards watched, and kicked when they looked away.
