#capoeira

….I feel my capoeira teacher felt a disturbance in the force and that I was not training because we got this email today, lmao.

I may have mildly misread this and mildly lost my shit, thinking teacher was encouraging us to do all these exercises per day.

And then I scrolled down and saw he'd given us a 20 day schedule.

SIR???? Yes this is a martial arts and it's training, but?????

................THEY'RE ALL AB WORKOUTS?????

Teacher beginning the email about balancing the body, doing some shoulder work, hips work, pulling exercises to balance out all the pushing we do with handstands and cartwheels.

Been thinking about how capoeira classes have been done for the term, but I haven't really done any training at home because I've been doing other classes or just. Resting during the times when I'd be at capoeira class.

But also.

Sure, capoeira is training and I want to improve.

But do I want to drill things or can I just let the muscle memory develop as I go to class every week.

Because yeah, I want to progress in capoeira.

But I also want to do other things.

And doing other things also balances me out both physically and mentally rather than being hyperfocused on the same thing.

I also haven't really been practicing breaking at home that much, but I'm still doing that two times a week, and even the hip hop class helped point out about my lack of body rock and let me think about a new move to try in breaking.
