15-Minute ACL Injury Prevention Program

15-Minute ACL Injury Prevention Program:

Given the number of knee injuries experienced by capoeiristas, I did some internet searching and discovered this injury prevention program developed by the Santa Monica Sports Medicine Foundation that addresses any deficits in strength and coordination of the muscles surrounding the knee joint. Definitely going to start incorporating this into my training.

A maré a maré - Mestre Pequines

A maré a maré
me leva ao céu
a maré a maré
me leva ao céu

A maré a maré me leva ao céu
a maré a maré me leva ao céu

a jangada me leva
a outro lugar
eu não sei onde eu vou
nas ondas do mar

A maré a maré me leva ao céu
a maré a maré me leva ao céu

o chicote me corta
me faz chorar
eu não quero mais isso
vou lá pro mar

A maré a maré me leva ao céu
a maré a maré me leva ao céu

vou me embora da terra
eu vou pro mar
no navio negreiro
rezo a Iemanjá

A maré a maré me leva ao céu
a maré a maré me leva ao céu

eu perdi a ração
de meu sofrimento
porque a escravidão
não tem fundamento

A maré a maré me leva ao céu
a maré a maré me leva ao céu

“

If you’ve seen capoeira, you know that is fascinating. As a first time viewer, the flips probably catch your eye. If you’ve trained it for a while, you notice the trickiness, the malandragem, the strategy. If you’re teaching it, it gives you joy to see the improvement of your students.

However, beneath all these, capoeira is fun to watch because the people playing it are HAPPY playing it. Sure you see people getting kicked, getting a black eye or bruised shin, or being taken down, but more often than not, a capoeirista takes all these with a smile.

For the next few posts, I will have photos that show the happiness that is ingrained in this art form. No fancy moves. Just happy capoeiristas.

These pictures remind me why I keep training this art. That even when I get lazy periods, I manage to get back into the roda.
