This blog will document the experiences of a complete newcomer taking their first steps in learning the game of capoeira. I’ll blog about my experiences along the way, including my first “proper” class, useful sites or articles, hints and tips I pick up along the way and anything else I think a novato (beginner) would find useful. I’ll also provide progress reports on my skills (or lack of), fitness and feelings.
It’s intended to serve as a resource for beginners, to help answer any questions or overcome any trepidation when starting out, but might also be of interest to experienced capoeiristas and instructors in helping them to understand “the new kid”.
Comments and discussion are welcomed and encouraged!
A Little About The Author
I’m a pretty average 22-year-old male based in London, UK. I’m not as fit as I’d like (at the time of writing) and I have no experience of any martial arts or dance, so I’m a true novice, a blank canvas if you like!
