10 Capoeira Training Tips

1. Make sure you stretch
   either before or after training capoeira.
2. Try not to imagine what a capoeira movement is supposed to look like, unless your
   teacher demonstrates.
3. Don’t be afraid to move to the music while training or watching the
   teacher. Let your body go.
4. Always stay light on your limbs (not just your feet)…capoeira isn’t
   always played upright.
5. Ask lots of questions, after all learning capoeira is almost like learning another
   language.
6. Practice outside of class. Pick a technique and do it until you’re tired
   of it….then keep doing it.
7. Be dynamic in your capoeira movements, but don’t lose yourself in them. Be
   precisely dynamic!
8. Try and understand the game before becoming overly aggressive. It combat
   for sure, but there are so many elements as well.
9. When doing everyday activities, if you feel the urge to move... ginga,
   do a handstand, whatever….do it. Don’t allow yourself to have a cap for your
   potential
10. Most importantly…Enjoy yourself!!!
