I’ve been doing some courses about gender in my university and training capoeira for some years, so the topics do make me curious. I’ve never posted before though, so the contest is a nice excuse ;)

I’ve studied this intriging paradoxal message for years. I’ve spoken with some of my wisest friends and argued with the simplest souls I know. After many long debates we have found an underlying message that we have come to name ‘jealousy’ ;-)

I hope to comment more (at all) in future.
In the meantime, please excuse me as I have to go and peel some potatoes.

My mestre always says it’s good to get some other input in capoeira. He says it’s good to train with other groups once in a while.

But that doesn’t mean he likes it when I do it :-)

PS: Camundongo is a mouse

And yes, blogsurfer counts…just for you :P

Yup! I was planning to mention it soon but then the contest came up and I didn’t want to “steal its thunder”. It’s still in Canada though, so no upcoming side trips to Belgium, I’m afraid. :( Yes, I will be training with brand new capoeiristas, especially since the new city again lacks a branch of my grupo! And I actually got my capoeira teacher’s (grudging & reluctant XD) blessing this time, so no more paranoid pretending-to-not-be-training-with-another-group-while-really-seeing-them-five-days-a-week…

That’s awesome! I feel honoured ^^”

Haha Skymandr, I’m an RSS-addict too…soooo bad (or is it good?) for procrasination fixes!

Hey, Brian! I have to admit I had to go back and look up your comment, but then I realized it was because you used your nickname last time! I’m glad I managed to lure you out a second time ;) Maybe it’ll become a habit!

Thank you, Camundongo! That’s an interesting-sounding/looking apelido, what does it mean?

Hi Crystal, thanks for commenting and subscribing! What’s escrima? Is it similar to capoeira at all?

I practice escrima, but I still would really like to get into capoeira. Thank you for a chance to win something like this :)

I’m subscribing, too.
