talking about oral presentations 02

well hello again =)
this is the first formal post, little bit excited actually.

i woke up 6.00 oclock to finish my essay, thats why, ı was tired to complete all lessons. however ı fought with my self to joın.

as you know people, we all had a practise presentation. ı just recognized that we all had lots of mistakes which are so normal for first one s and learned so much thıngs. initially to me, if it is a team presentation than the team members must be the one. beıng a team has lots of advantages like you share all the stuff =) and co-operaiton provides self confident too. there were lots of thıngs; your appereance, how to spell words, get audience's attention and your slides.

according to me, be a team guys. because a team spirit always show itself directly with a correct way.
have luck in your real presentations..

louco..

the wisdom and philosophy of capoeira 01

basicly capoeira is defined ; 'the road which takes you to the freedom.'
actually it summarizes all the history about it.

While Brazilian were exploited by Portegue, they were restricted to train on martial arts. the only and the most valuable thing that they have was their religion. religion was like a forbidden territory for porteguse. they used religion as a weapon to enhance themselves for surviving with illegal ways.

roda : is a circle of humanbeings where inside playing/traning capoeira happens. roda's aim was in that days to cover what happens inside, when a possible danger closes they change the music and roda becomes closer and closer to interfere with the outside and players give up traning and starts to dancing and demonstrate capoeira as a ritual. Nowadays roda is still being used but for transform the axe ( energy ) to the inside both players and to each other.

music : it has been always interesting that a martial art has music in it. when a roda happens, it must include the capoeira instruments with it. the initial aim of music was determining the play's form. it was so dangerous times when a guy does capoeira could be killled. this creates the ritm which tells to fight for death, show it like a ritual and derivatives of them.
berimbau: is the most important instrument of capoeira and smybolizes capoeirista ( who is mastering capoeira)'s spirit.

mestre's : mestre's and legends exist in capoeira. such as besouro manganga, the capoeira miths tell that he was a great capoeirista that had defend and struggled with soldiers, and also he has a mistical dimension in his legend, besouro means beatle and he is called this way because he was abla to vanish after a stuggle with police and he can fly. =)
mestre Bimba = is the creater of capoeira regional which is the real and technical martial art. he composed and added lots of tricks from thai box, wrestling, brezilian jiu jutsu, vale tudo and boxing. respect to him (=

capoeira means a lot of things. besides it it has the wisdom of lots of mestre's.
it is just amazing issue to listen one of them .

by the way ; almost everyone who does capoeira, a nickname is given to them and they are called with it. the first purpose was to hide their real names. but now in academias all the members are called with them and it is the offical name for this crew.

they call me as ' louco ' =)
