Capoeira in Myanmar

Capoeira has become one of the main reasons why I travel. It is one of the activities I enjoy the most - the kind of martial arts I am willing to spend for. From the music that's authentically Brazil/Angola to the roda (the circle where Capoeirista's show off their martial arts skills that results to a dance and/or a game), everything about Capoeira is an experience everyone should have a try.

My trip to Yangon, Myanmar this month (October) was apparently about Capoeira. Although I didn't stay long enough to do the workshop with Mestre Pintor from Bantus Capoeira Singapore, I was more than happy to be part of the welcome roda at the Embaixada do Basil em Yangon (Embassy of Brazil in Yangon) on October 18, 2015.

Here's the video i made for Capoeira Group Yangon. I hope you like it...

The Capoeira Group Yangon's Facebook group is https://www.facebook.com/groups/264435187034679/. They usually have classes every Tuesday 6:30 - 8:00 PM and Saturday from 5:00 to 7:00 PM (please correct me if I'm wrong CapoGroupYangon friends) at the French Institute on Pyay Road (near Myaynigone). The classes are for free (this one I am not sure). Please check 'em out sometime - they are the friendliest people in town and the local Capoeiristas are amazingly hospitable.
