You are not wrong.<br />
<br />
Today's class:<br />
<br />
1. Meia Lua de compasso (meh lwa gee kompasso, or compasso for short)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/IiLqVCyyoPs?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
2. Queda de rins (kay-dah gee hinge)<br />
<br />
Tip: jab your kidney with your elbow. it's the way to go. Will take a while before you find the spot that doesn't hurt though >:)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/INFUiJLaclo?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
3. Rabo de arraia (ha-bo de higher)<br />
<br />
It has a name! Not compasso de kosongmau<br />
Try to progress your compasso into this! From 2 hands to one to none!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/CBwr7ZxrwrY?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
4. Meia lua Reversao (meh lwa re-ver-sao, or just reversao)<br />
<br />
This is another thing you can progress to from the compasso, so it's important to get your basics right! It probably was awkward and weird to do this for the first/second time just now, but no one's rushing. Go at your own pace.<br />

<br />
5. Ponte (ponch)<br />
<br />
Since it's halloween this month, let's do something to scare your friends right... This is also another one of the basic movements that we neglect, so let's train this together and walk the entire length of MPSH soon yeah?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><u>BONUS</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
This is just one of the things you can do with the moves we've learnt so far, ignore the advertisement haha<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So that's it for this time. Have fun learning the names/moves, should we have a mid term for this as well? >:)<br />

In the meantime, watch this space!<br />
<br />
So in the interest of convenience, and the benefit of our newcomers, I shall try to post a review of our training sessions if there are new moves introduced. This is purely from my memory, so there may be some things missing, pardon me haha.<br />
<br />
So these are what we did yesterday:<br />
<br />
1. Songs. We learnt a few new songs ytd! It's ok if you feel lost and awkward vocalising the lyrics, everyone's been there. Just try to sing louder the next time, and soon you will be screaming ur lungs out in the roda. Below are the songs we learnt yesterday:<br />
<br />
a. A hora e essa<br />
<br />

Oh yea! It
was a long weekend over the Vesak Day holidays and some of us decided to head
down to KL for some Capoeira immersion programme!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">For a start
we decided to drop by EBC on a Saturday at some ulu school which we almost got
lost. Professor Pimbal as well as his students were welcoming and friendly. The
intense 2-hour lesson that we had got some of us yearning for an ice cold beer
halfway through! The roda at the end of the lesson was filled with axe and the
berimbau was so well played it sounded like a musical piece.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Day 2, we
visited CDO and we got to meet CM Braulio and CM Eurico (from Australia) who
happened to be visiting KL too. Here, we experienced another capoeira style
whereby floreios are use more extensively to beautify the game. Having visited
Sunway Lagoon in the day before heading to CDO’s training, some of us were
totally drained at the end of the day. Nevertheless, we still head off for some
12am dinner and 3am booze which resulted in a few of us concussing on the
drinking table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the experiences we had was an eye opening one as we get to know more people in
the capoeira community, exchange training tips, and also experience the
different training and jogo styles. The trip has definitely given me more
motivation to train harder and better and some day, I would like to visit the
schools across the causeway again!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: black; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: white;">The following materials for making the berimbau will be provided:-<br />1. Verga<br />2. Arame<br />3. Baqueta<br />The dobrao is just a pebble, which we can pick up anywhere =)</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">The key component that we will not be able to provide is the cabaca. This is because we want you to have the liberty to choose what kind of berimbau you want to make for yourself - gunga, medio or viola. We should be able to get them pretty easily since Chinese New Year is coming. An average cabaca costs about $25-40. </span><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Also note that the verga that we will provide will not be a beriba wood (as they're not easily purchased and beriba-chopping is illegal in Brazil). We will be providing an oak verga. You may look at the oak verga which Toshi has graciously donated to the club (Thank you, Toshi).</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: white;">For those who choose not to make a berimbau, please feel free to come down and hang out =) Though you're not making one, you can still learn how to make one. We will probably have dinner together after the event. Will be a good opportunity for everyone to know each other more!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>

<br />
Next, regarding the Welcome Tea. This serves as an introductory session, specially catered to people who are new to Capoeira. Everyone is welcomed regardless of experience, age or gender =)<br />
Look at is as a tour where we'll be sharing with you about the various aspects Capoeira.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Seems familiar? =)</span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">On behalf of NUS Capoeira, I would like to thank each and every one of you for making 2012/13 Sem I a fruitful semester. Special thanks to Sanny (aka Cantor) for his patience, dedication, love and guidance in our Capoeira journey. </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">For everyone else who will be facing academic exams, FYP or batizado, we wish you all the best. May the axe <strike>and the orixas</strike> be with you! </span><br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">If you miss the last official training (ie. last Thu), fret not. We have another event cooking and coming right up! Details are as follows:</span><br />
Date: 8th Dec 2012 (Saturday)<br />Time: 4pm till 'Who-Knows-When'<br />Venue: Sentosa<br />
<span style="color: #9fc5e8;">By 8 Dec, I believe everyone will be free from exams. Since its also on a Saturday, we'll have people from the 'Singapore workforce' joining us as well ;) Mark your calendar and lets all have a fun-filled chillax session, free from all the exam pressure.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Lemme' give you guys a brief rundown of how the day will turn out.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">1. We meet at Vivocity (entrance to Sentosa via the train). </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">2. Head out to one of the beaches. Play some games, some tricking and jump into the salty water. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">3. Before the sun sets, we'll take a shower and grab dinner (most probably @ Vivocity but options are open)<br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I've also put up this event on Facebook - </span><br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/513681848656912/?context=create">https://www.facebook.com/events/513681848656912/?context=create</a><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Please 'self-invite' (if I forgot to invite you) and indicate your attendance so we'll have a rough idea of how many people will be turning up. If you don't use Facebook, you may RSVP via the comments below.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">That's all for now. I'll see you guys soon ;)</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Its already Week 13, which means only 1 more week of official Capoeira classes. So, a few announcements, as I have mentioned in the previous class.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: cyan;">i) There will be no training on 13 Nov 2012 (Tues). Happy Deepavali =) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: cyan;">ii) The last official training session for the semester is 15 Nov 2012 (Thu). So, lets all try to be there as we'll have a closing roda for the semester, where we bid goodbye to those who will be graduating (maybe?), friends who are on exchange as well as brothers (or sisters) who will be going for exchange next sem. This might just be the last time you'll see them =(</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: cyan;">iii) For those who are interested to continue training <strike>and not slack off</strike> in Dec, we'll have combined training with SMU. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: cyan;">It will be every <u>Tuesday</u>, <u>7.30pm-9.30pm</u> @ <u>SMU CCA Hall</u>. This will be a good opportunity for you guys to meet and play with the Capoeiristas from SMU. The fees for Dec is $20.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On behalf of the club, I wish everyone the best of luck in the upcoming exams and a fruitful, fun-filled, fabulous holiday ;)</div>

<br />
Hope training has been rewarding and fun so far =) Its almost half way through the sem already. Time flies.. Leaving the irrelevant aside, its time for our 'annual' BBQ session! *yummeh* <br />
<br />
Details first:<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">Date: 21 Sept 2012 (Friday)<br />Venue: Trellis towers @ Toa Payoh<br />Time: 7pm-11pm</span><br />
<br />
Alright, for those who haven't been there, we can all meet at Toa Payoh MRT @ 6.30pm~6.45pm before we ginga..*coughs* walk there together-gether. <br /><br />Food will be provided, but feel free to bring extra stuffs to share; snacks, drinks, anything =) <br />However, there will be a <span style="color: red;">'no-alcohol'</span> policy enforced. Anyone who breaks this rule will have to do cadeira for 1 hour ;)<br />
<br />
Come down, have a chat with everyone, see each other outside Capoeira once a while. Things like this don't come often =D (Well, depends on how you define 'often')<br />
<br />
Okay! See you guys there! <br />Before that, I'll see you during training XD<br />

<br />
Precisely on this day and tomorrow, you will find NUS Capoeira at the Arts linkway (block ADM) selling LaoPan Soy Beancurd! =)<br />
<br />
Well, this is because the committee realizes that our semester fee is relatively 'pricey' compared to other martial arts club. Therefore, not only to appeal to the potential members and the freshmen, we would also like to help to reduce the financial burden on the current members. Since we won't be able to get any financial aid from NUS Sports Club nor NUS, we've got to help ourselves right? =D<br /><br />We're still open for 'business' tomorrow (28 Aug '12) and its selling fast despite the cool, windy and gloomy weather today.<br />
<br />
Do drop by to say hi if you're around =)<br />

<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><br />
Just like old times, snacks and drinks will be provided. Please don't just come for the food. What's food without family and Capoeira anyway? =D<br />
<br />
For all interested participants, <u>please come in your sports attire</u> as we will be working out a little. As you might have already know, Capoeira is a martial art, infused with music and dance. Given the 2 hours that we have, we will try to share what we know about Capoeira as much as we can in its entirety.<br />
<br />
Also, do note that we welcome people of all backgrounds and prior experience in Capoeira or any other form of martial art is not required (All of us started with zero Capoeira experience anyway XD).<br />
Throughout the event, we will introduce some basic Capoeira moves such as the <i>ginga</i>, <i>esquivas</i> and some offensive moves. Not forgetting the music aspect of Capoeira, you will be able to experience the musical instruments we use in the game of Capoeira like the <i>berimbau</i>, <i>atabaque </i>and <i>pandeiro</i>.<i> </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Do contact us if you need assistance or clarification. We will be more than glad to hear from you.<br />
<br />
See all of you there!<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The annual mid-year Xango workshop was concluded last week. This year,
the numbers were smaller, but there’s new venues (ITE Simei huge MPSH &
Wavehouse Sentosa), new faces, and of course, more Axé.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Instead of Mestre Luizinho conducting the workshop single handedly,
Cantor is back and was helping Mestre out with the workshop classes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">As usual, the workshop started off with some basic sequences followed by
those that we can improvise on our own. Sequences for Benguela and Regional
were taught as well as take downs and counter take downs. One particular take
down move, arrastao (grab the knees of opponent and pull), interest me the most
as I get to see someone using the move on Macaquinho during the group roda and
he countered it with the same way Mestre taught even though he did not attend
the workshop. (Don’t get me wrong here. I know Macaquinho is so much senior
than us so most likely he’ll know how to counter most of the moves. The move
requires the person being arrastao-ed to put a hand under the attacker’s one
arm and throat in a choking manner and try to stay as low as possible to avoid
falling. The person thus has to respond almost immediately when the attacker
put both his hands behind the person’s knees so as to not be taken down.
Therefore seeing Macaquinho’s fast response in a roda really impresses and
surprised me.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Day 4 of the workshop was our mass public roda, and various Capoeira
Grupos were invited as well. Contra Mestre Claudinho from </span>Bantus Capoeira and Professor Pitbull from Capoeira
Senzala came down with students from their grupos. Macaquinho and Aisha,
plus baby Azmil joined us too. Held at Wavehouse Sentosa, the roda attracted
lotsa people. The Ax<span lang="EN-US">é</span> awesome and despite the hard and
grainy/sandy floor, everyone contributed to the roda with their singing,
clapping, playing of instruments and of course jogo-ing. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">What does
NUS Capoeira mean to you?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">To me, it
means family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It’s not
just about the weekly trainings and supper. It’s about the effort everyone puts
in to maintain what we have today. The impromptu gatherings at Shiela’s place,
the Whatsapp chat group, and also the sharing sessions (+ updating each other about our
lives).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It’s
heartwarming to see everyone making the effort to come for training every week,
despite the heavy workload from school or from work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">And today,
it’s a nice end to the semester as well as to my university life (apart from it
being the last day of my exam =P). The farewell party for Yulia at Shiela’s place
turned out to be a farewell celebration for Mumia, Arnold and me too. Thank you
all for all the effort put in. Really appreciated it ALOTTT (and I realllyyy
mean it). NUS Capoeira is more than a family to me. Sometimes I think that the
club watches me as I grow, yet sometimes it seems to be the other way round. I
have seen people coming into the club, people dropping by, people
leaving and not forgetting, those who stayed =) Nevertheless, all these have played a part in my capoeira journey.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">And once
again, good luck to those (Mumia, Arnold and Cindy) who will be graduating and
may the next stage of our lives be fulfilling and rewarding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">To Yulia:
Thanks for sharing with us all the Russian snacks and being so enthusiastic in
the club’s activities. Hope to see you again soon!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">To Rosinha:
Enjoy your exchange in Philippines and may you come back with more experience
to share with us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Workshops are always good for us to be exposed to newer styles in capoeira games and to meet other capoeiristas from other grupos. Beginners and seniors are all welcomed to join!<br />
<br />
If you are interested, please let me know soon - latest by Monday. This is so I can arrange for a (free) place to stay and for transportation.<br />
<br />
Also, (fortunately or unfortunately?) I can bring all of you around to the yummiest places to eat! We are leaving Singapore Friday night to Penang, and back by Monday morning.<br />
<br />
If you are interested, email us at capoeira.nus@gmail.com or contact me (8617 9569).<br />
<br />
See our previous post on the workshop <a href="http://nuscapoeira.blogspot.com/2012/01/upcoming-penang-workshop.html">here</a> for the details.<br />

To the new members, we hope you enjoyed yourselves and are pumped up to begin our trainings! Starting next week, we are going to begin our regular classes, with newer songs, sequences and so on. If you have any questions at all, please ask away! I hope the capoeira bug has already spread. (:<br />
<br />
<br />
As for the seniors, welcome back! It is wonderful to see everyone again, and hopefully this welcome tea had you energised for more jogo bonito and great times ahead this semester! Keep training to be better and always put as much positive energy as you can into the grupo and jogo. Don't stop the axe!<br />
<br />
For those who did not get to attend, you are most welcomed to join us for classes next week. Check out our training times on the top right-hand corner of this blog, or email us at capoeira.nus@gmail.com for more enquiries.<br />

<br />
Have you been training hard the past holiday?<br />
<br />
Most of us were busy traveling, working or returning home (probably devouring all the homecooked food he or she can before returning), but at the back of our minds, I am sure the <i>berimbau</i> was still playing and there hiding in your room, you managed to sneak some <i>ginga</i>s and other <i>movimentos</i> with the mirror reflection.<br />
<br />
Now that the holidays have ended, it's time to get serious again and train even more! We will post up our Welcome Tea details soon. For now, our trainings are back to normal.<br />
<br />
A new year, new semester, & a new set of challenges and exciting adventures waiting to happen!<br />
<br />
Have a great year, camaras!<br />
<br />
Axe,<br />

Mestre Luizinho came down from Australia and imparted some knowledge to us during the workshop. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Highlights of the workshop included a visit to Bantus Capoeira. Sequences were taught, we learned some acrobatic moves, and did maculele as well as a music session to know more about the different instruments of capoeira. After our 5-day workshop, many of us are pumped and just yearning for more capoeira! </span><span class="apple-style-span">So look out for the holiday training details on the right side of the blog!</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><br />
