louco 12

you mıght have been curıous about why m ı sıgnıng as louco to my real name. actually ı adopted it more than my real name.
here is the story of this event it is kinda interesting;

in old stories of capoeira legends, as ı mentioned before capoeira was forbidden to train for slaves in Brazil. however they were traning to defend themselves and when it is neccesary to atack. they developed a system to prevent to get known by portuguese cops which is giving themselves a nickname , it will protect them from the cops and their original id name. thats pretty clever i guess.
the second theory of this was, in a roda( circle, where capoeira fighters train and plays inside) they do not know their name , and when they see a fighters moves/tricks they associate with anything. as ı need to give example , a capoeirista plays so harsh, aggressive and mascular also skin colour is black ( ı just maded up these crıterıas there is no rule or something it could be anythıng they want ) , could be called as pantera ( panther in english ).

these nicknames fit to the person and the capoeira fighter who had one of these, it would be a specıal meanıng to hım/her. And from now on they called what they got, it wont be changed anymore.

my story was funny to me actually, in my belt exam there are 3 instructors and the 3 of them decided without asking themselves, the same nickname to me. when they recognized the sıtuatıon ıt was funny for them too.

with my best wishes
louco
