Welcome Tea Semester II 2012/13

Today marks the start of a new semester.. Hope you guys had fun in the first day of school ;)

For those who forgot, we'll officially resume our Capoeira training tomorrow (15 Jan 2013). Same time, same place. If its your first time joining us, details of the training sessions are in green under the 'Announcements'.

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 =)
Look at is as a tour where we'll be sharing with you about the various aspects Capoeira.

Details of the Welcome Tea are as follows:
Date: 22nd January 2013 (Tuesday)
Time: 7pm - 9pm
Venue: SRC Dance Studio, Level 2

Date: 24th January 2013 (Thursday)
Time: 7pm - 9pm

There will be 2 sessions. Most of the activities/programs that we carry out on both days will be similar. However, feel free to come down for both ;) In order to stay true to the name of this event which we call 'Welcome Tea', snacks and drinks will be provided!
Of course, if you're new and wish to join us for training even before the Welcome Tea (ie. 15th and 17th Jan), please feel free to do so.


If possible, do come down in your sports attire as we will 'always be moving'.. literally =)

Greetings to 2013

Hi everyone,

Happy new year and welcome to the new semester.

Hope you guys had a fruitful semester and now we will be proceeding on.

So we will be resuming our official training once school starts on the week of 14th January onwards.

As usual we will be having our training on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm.

We ended 2012 on a high with our yearly Batizado where mestre recognized our efforts and promoted us to the next level of belts.

Here are some highlights from the Batizado held in December 2012.

Batizado 2012!

Train hard, play hard and of course study hard.

Pressing forward... to Sentosa!

Hi everybody,

Seems familiar? =)
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. 
For everyone else who will be facing academic exams, FYP or batizado, we wish you all the best. May the axe and the orixas be with you! 

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:
Date: 8th Dec 2012 (Saturday)
Time: 4pm till 'Who-Knows-When'
Venue: Sentosa
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.

Lemme' give you guys a brief rundown of how the day will turn out.
1. We meet at Vivocity (entrance to Sentosa via the train). 
2. Head out to one of the beaches. Play some games, some tricking and jump into the salty water. 
3. Before the sun sets, we'll take a shower and grab dinner (most probably @ Vivocity but options are open)

I've also put up this event on Facebook -

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.

That's all for now. I'll see you guys soon ;)

Change of training venue

Attention guys,

Please note that our last training of the semester, ie 15 Nov 2012 (Thu) will be relocated to YIH Amphitheatre.

Once again, I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Diwali =)

Meanwhile, here's a song that we've learnt in class ;)
Happy learning. You can find the lyrics to the song by going to the youtube page.
Calangulando, do calango...

End-of-Sem-Post

Hey guys,

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.

i) There will be no training on 13 Nov 2012 (Tues). Happy Deepavali =) 

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 =(

iii) For those who are interested to continue training and not slack off in Dec, we'll have combined training with SMU. 

It will be every Tuesday, 7.30pm-9.30pm @ SMU CCA Hall. This will be a good opportunity for you guys to meet and play with the Capoeiristas from SMU. The fees for Dec is $20.

On behalf of the club, I wish everyone the best of luck in the upcoming exams and a fruitful, fun-filled, fabulous holiday ;)

It just doesn't stop! - Mid Autumn Festival

Hi guys,

Cook-out session, birthday roda (we'll be having another one soon) and now this! Here we go again!

As we've announce in the previous training session, we'll be celebrating Mid-Autumn festival together. There'll be some mooncakes for everyone to share as an after-training snack. Feel free to bring your own mooncakes to share (if you want to).

It will be this coming Thursday (11 Oct 2012) @ MPSH2, our usual training venue.

See you guys in class!
