#capoiera

- The Ninja Turtles are hilarious because the connection between ninjutsu and turtles seems to come out of nowhere

- but there is also probably something to be said for martial-arts animals with more comprehensible connections

-such as, for example

1-the species name sounds similar to the name of the martial art

2-the animal is native to a region where the martial art is practiced

3-based on anatomy and biology, the animal seems like it could be good at the martial art

For passing #1 and #2 while hilariously failing #3, may I suggest the Capoeira Capybara

Asa, Also Means Dance. There is a fine line between War and Dance. 

Dance. Is Discipline Of Self. Tai Chi, Capoiera, Kung Fu, Samba. These are to discipline self. Whilst you learn these dance forms (to discipline self), you also do not hesitate to use them to wage war or defend self, against those who seek to destroy you (they are fighting skills,after all)

Asa means War. Asa also means Dance, because there is a fine line between War and Dance. A fine line between War, (chaos, disorder, mayhem,commotion), and Dance, (discipline of self, peace,tranquillity, order)

AHH, I actually hadn’t initially thought of that idea, but Shinshinkai being a dance company sounds perfect! Writing this will vitalize me! - Medinah

Shinshinkai is one of Japan’s biggest national dance recruitment agencies. They recruit people and assign them to potential customers. They also have their own training programs and courses open in a dedicated academy which they amiably named the “Dance Dojo”.

The head of the company, Doppo Orochi, has dance origins in the classic performance arts, but he’s quite lenient to other dance styles because he understands the evolving nature of the industry. 

His son, Katsumi, has been interested in both dance and martial arts since a very young age. He is very naturally a performer and loves to incorporate martial arts into his routines. 

Katsumi’s most recent obsession is capoeira, which is a mish mash of both things he adores; dance and martial arts. 

Katsumi will rip off his top if you give him the opportunity. He says the clothes are restricting and cling to his body when he sweats. 

He has flock of fangirls that approach the company just for a chance to observe on of his sessions. 

Kato is actually one of the ballroom tutors who was taught directly under Doppo. He has an appreciation for the finer things, and this shows in his dance too. 

Kato loves to bust out extravagant suits and clothing when he can. 

Outside of instructing, he has a deep interest in street and hip hop culture, in part because of Suedo. 

Kato can be very intense when instructing, to the point of making his students very shy. They say he has a very deep set charisma that just oozes when he hits the dance floor. 

Will geek out unwillingly when he is impressed by a routine. 

Suedo loves street dance with his life. Formally being part of a street dance crew, he brings much to offer to the Shinshinkai organization. 

One of Suedo’s favourite things is to go and distract Katsumi and Kato by showing off some of his moves and challenging them to do it better. They usually give in because they’re all hot blooded idiots and then they all get scolded by Doppo.
