Capoeira is joy, it is good humor, it is not that competition business; it is spontaneity.

After a late night out on the town in Beirut, I woke up this morning in the mood to do capoeira. After the trauma of each bomb that hits Beirut, I find capoeira to be especially soothing for the soul. Listening to the song above is always a beautiful way to start the day…
Capoeira is a game, it is dance, it is fight, it is of war and it is of peace, it is of culture, of music, it is a portion of things…
– Mestre Suassuna
