Thursday. Training.

Hey all!

Hope everyone's enjoyed the Hari Raya holidays. Be it celebrating, for our Muslim friends, or going out or even simply using e spare day to catch up on some sch work, one thing's definitely been sorely missed. Tuesday's training!!!

Anyway to satisfy that itch (which most of us are having) please be warned that Thursday's training will be intense. That being said, everyone's encouraged to come down pumped up and ready to learn because even though it's gonna be intense, no one ever said it was gonna be physically intense so don't let that stop u budding capoeiristas. Morcego will be coming down this Thursday and sharing his recent inspirations with us. Do come down and absorb e axe!

See ya'll at 7 sharp.

NUS Capoeira Welcome Tea 2011/2012 Sem 1

Its the time of the year again! Old faces meet new faces and new faces meet new faces. All yearning for one thing - Capoeira! Axe!

There will be 2 sessions of Welcome Tea/Open Class, just in case you guys can't make it to either one.
Details are as follows:
Date : 16th & 18th August 2011 (Tues and Thu respectively)
Time: 7.00pm - 9.30pm
Venue: MPSH 2

The time and venue is the same for both days.
Please come down with your sports attire (preferably long & comfortable sports pants & T-shirt) as we will be sharing some Capoeira basics with you. 
Here's some questions that you might want answered:-
Q: I do not have any experience in Capoeira or any other martial art, can I still join?
A: Why not? We do not hold auditions or anything of such nature to 'filter' you out. Capoeira is for everyone!
Q: I can't make it for the Welcome Tea/Open Class. Can I still join you guys for training?
A: Yup, our pleasure =)
Q: I'm only in NUS for exchange for a semester or two, will it be okay for me to join you guys?
A: Sure! We have had many people joining us though they're on exchange or internship.
Q: Capoeira looks scary. I doubt if I can do those movements.
A: The Welcome Tea/Open Class session will be focusing on the basics in Capoeira. Do not worry too much. All you need is an open mind. We'll learn and progress together, like a family ;)
For more info, please contact Brian or Kelvin. You may also email us at capoeira.nus@gmail.com

To NUS Capoeira familia! Hope to see you guys during the Welcome Tea.

p.s. note the change of time from 7.30pm to 7pm.
