Instructions
Step 1
Choose the capoeira style you want to learn. There are several of them. Angola - the movements are slow, this is a "lower technique": the players almost crawl on the ground, half-sitting, to the rhythm of the drum. Reginal is an entertaining, acrobatic style, with high stances and sharp movements. Benguela is a blend of rejinal and angola styles. Maculele is a kind of ritual dance with short sticks; the players strike with their right hand, completing each drum rhythm.
Step 2
If this is your first time hearing about this type of martial arts, start at level one - learning basic movements and stances. In general, the entire technique of capoeira can be conditionally divided into three levels: the second is inverted positions, the execution of racks and positions on the hands, and the third is striking technique.
Step 3
Learn the basic elements of capoeira. This is jinga, rasteira, relay. "Jinga" in Portuguese means "swinging gait." This is not a static stance, but an incessant movement, a pendulum step in which the body's weight moves from one leg to the other. Rashteira is a sweeping movement performed with either foot and is used to quickly go behind the opponent's back. Relay - rotary movement that allows you to quickly change the level of movements from top to bottom and bottom to top, instantly approach the enemy or move away from him. The main stance of the capoeira is very low, the legs are wide apart.
Step 4
No special training is required to practice capoeira, although good athletic form will not hurt, acrobatic skills will be especially useful. Capoeira perfectly teaches you to control your own body, concentrate, develops flexibility and coordination, plasticity and a sense of rhythm. This is an art with amazing energy, to which it is difficult to remain indifferent.
