Normal
I played a long time ago, and I used to practice a couple of years ago ... It's strange how I got into it ...I was walking in a mall in Sao Paulo when I see a barbershop called 'Niggas' ... The owner realizes my reaction and he runs outside to explain .. he's like 'no problem in Brasil" (of course, there are problems in Brasil) ... So then I come back and chop it up with them .. I end up meeting this brotha who plays capoeira (I trained with his school for a good week for free) , meets his family, etc ...We remain friends to this day ...But yeah, I realize our actions as Blacks in Am affect a lot of ppl ... Even bad elements of our culture permeate ...I don't play much now bc life gets in the way, but it's an excellent form of exercise, and super fun to watch ... I remember getting whacked by a little kid na roda when I went back (almost 5+ years ago) ..If you get a chance, listen to the music of capoeira... Kinda relaxing, and you will want to go out and buy a berimbau :)
