Capoeira Fitness

As usual, my dear "fly kite" friend flies me kite again... but I still continued my way to my exercise classes, not realizing that the FT kickboxing has cancelled today..

When i saw the schedule at the centre, it’s the Capoeira Fitness lesson. My angel and devil came out to have their conversation:

Devil: What is that Capoeira? Aiyah, no kickboxing today ah.. hmmm why don’t we go home?

Angel: Cannot... You must exercise! You come all the way from Jurong and you want to go back?

Devil: Very tiring leh. Why not come back another day? Can go back and rest early today.

Angel: You think you will REALLY go home and REST EARLY meh? Why not you exercise for 20 mins at the track mill, go to the class. See what’s the class all about. If u enjoy, then continue to stay on. If not, just leave the class. Anyway, by the time, u would have already worked out 30 mins or so...

Devil: Okay lor...

So what is Capoeira? It is a martial arts form that originated in Brazil over 500 years ago. Today it is also thought of as an exercise or a game. Usually two people will enter in a circle and begin to do sweeps, kicks, and other martial art moves.

Capoeira, the latest fitness trend, is new to many of us. It's a dance, it's a fight, it's a form of self-defence.

I find this fitness is fun. I’m glad that my angel lead me to the correct way. If not, I wouldn’t have discover such an interesting exercise today :)
