Capoeira – can you spell it yet?
We’ve had 14
sessions (we ought to be quite good by now - yikes…)
And mostly we
had a great response – 30 to 60 people at each – so a big thank you to
everyone that forwarded the email round/ stuck it up in their office and
brought their friends…
And
Battersea Park was the so
popular, we’re extending the sessions there for August (see below)... |
(And that’s just the warm-up…) |

The highs…
Marcos, the
Brazilian instructor, has been a legend: his ruthless warm-ups have given
us all stiff thighs, and his mind-boggling demonstrations have made us
wonder why we didn’t pay more attention in PE at school.
We’ve had
dogs, wet T-shirt competitions, and even a “Disco meets Capoeira” session
when we forgot the Capoeira CD and all we had was the
Jacksons… |
|
(Regents Park in the rain – marketing heaven…) |
and the Lows…
There was the
Regents Park Softball team, who seemed almost as bad at Softball as we
were at Capoeira – though strangely adept at sending balls in our
direction.
But even they
didn’t turn up in last Wednesday’s downpour (see left). “Soft”ball… |
So now what…?
You asked for
more – so since Battersea was the most popular, we’re doing 4 more
sessions there…
Tonight
(Monday 1st
August), then Monday 8th, Monday 15th and Monday 22nd
August. [Bank holiday 29th Aug TBC]
Same time –
arrive at 6.45pm for 7pm – 8pm
class.
Same place
– the Boules area, near the Albert Bridge road car park

Save Battersea Park from pink monstrosity |
And after
that…?
We’ve loved
it, and I don’t think we’re the only ones, so we’ll definitely try and do
something similar next year – obviously bigger, better and with a twist,
but we’ve got a while to work out the details.
In the
meantime, if you have any thoughts, do drop us an email…
And if you’d
like some photos for your album, do take a look at the ones we’ve taken:

Thanks again
In the
meantime, thanks again for coming along and taking part – it’s been great
to meet you, we hope you’ve enjoyed the Firefly and see you again soon…
