Lest I forget…all of Your goodness, the blood You have shed…

     Hey people! Uni for me has started again and I gotta seriously kick myself into study mode…ugh!

     Well, yesterday I did a capoeira performance in uni with the Bond Uni capoeira society. Also present were a few people from the Zambiacongo team: Mestre Luizinho, Instructor Adam and Formado James. It was heaps of fun and from the compliments we received from the crowd after the show, and the number of sign-ups, the classes may get much bigger this semester *Happiness* I actually caught a video of the performance using my camera, but its 140MB…apparently Youtube can only hold up to 100MB. Sigh…Neway, here are a few pics, although the video shows us pulling off some pretty crazy moves…

That’s me, Ash, and Rungano…Ash and Rungano are med students that just started doing capoeira

   

Me vs Instructor Adam

Yasmin vs Anna (Yasmin is also a med student, and has been doing capoeira for about 2 years)

Formado James vs Anna (James teaches the capoeira classes at Bond Uni…his acrobatics is pretty good)

    Anyway, recently whilst I was back in Sydney, I had a chance to catch up with the Usyd capoeira club, and boy, have they improved!!

The class, with Instructora Gaivota trying to strangle me!

Tony and Dave (a.k.a Gung Fu -the angmoh that is more asian than most asians). If u can’t figure out what’s happening, well, they are hanging horizontally just using their arms! Insane rite?!?

Sarah doing a version of queda de rins (standing on kidneys)

Andrew Meyes (a.k.a. Envergado) doing mortal (back sommersault)

Gung Fu again!

And that’s moi (a.k.a. curumim)!

And whilst I was in GC, this happened!! 0_0 That’s winnie and Gung Fu…I’ve known them both for years!! but I’m so happy for them
