CAPOEIRA THAT WORKS

This time with music [ yeah, yeah I know...I should have done that the first time, and not made two videos ].

    We in my ATACX GYM are using my NJIA UHURU KIPURA... "The Way of Freedom" Kipura, my family's unique modernization of the ancient Afrikan fighting method of Kipura derived from The Empire of Kongo in Afrika from thousands of years ago...to directly address the rash of "mass shootings" in the USA, Brasil, and other countries around the world. Too many other "self defense instructors" don't address the realities of what's happening in our streets as these things are happening [ my NJIA UHURU KIPURA addressed these realities YEARS BEFORE they happened, thank you ]. Some "self defense instructors" think that by NOT talking about and devising ways to defend against these tragedies on our streets, we are somehow being "respectful of the dead". I think that by NOT addressing what's REALLY happening in our streets? These 'self defense instructors" are helping the bad guys keep the majority of us as 'so

I could get into a long diatribe about this? After all, this blog of mine has a gazillion in depth pieces of research on this matter. But I won't do that. Instead? Let's cut straight to the chase, shall we? Rafael Bluteau proves that he was the first to write and document the word "capoeira" in 1712. Before Rafael Bluteau first wrote the word "capoeira"? No documentation of the word "capoeira" existed.  Here is Rafael's documentation of the word "capoeira" for his dictionary: The word "capoeira" is a mispronounciation, misspelling and misunderstanding of the KiKongo [ language of Kongo ] term Kipura. As long proven by books written by actually good scientists and researchers who aren't racists, the term Kipura is very famously known to exist looong before Rafael Bluteau was born, and describes the exact fighting art and even the fortifications and palisades on towns and forts that Afrikans were in

This horrible incident of robbery happened during the London Riots of 2011: What makes this robbery especially despicable is that one man pretends to offer aid and succour to the victim, then the man pretending to offer help and rescue turns into a full robbery beatdown of the  unsuspecting victim.

YASUKE, MASTER OF KIPURA...JAPAN'S GREATEST SAMURAI? This particular topic came to me when I...for the hundred trillionth time...had to dispel some the persistent, vicious untruths about Afrikan warriors [ which most people know nothing of ] and Afrikan self defense and war arts [ which most people still don't know exist ]. The particular instance that encouraged me to write this specific blog entry revolved around the skeptical questions and responses of...shall we say, an acquaintance of a friend of a friend...who witnessed me practice with my practice weapons. This "acquaintance of a friend of a friend" was the kind of guy who felt that his observations and opinions would improve every human interaction. He saw me working basic movements and...utterly miscomprehending what was happening...started making not-so-"sotto voce" criticisms about my technique, stances, attack selection, and how everything I did was evidence of deep amateurism and lack

#911racists are more popular than #swatting. I created the #911racist hashtag to designate specifically instances wherein racists call the police on POC [ usually Afrikan Americans ] for some completely ridiculous thing, in order to essentially manipulate the police into being the punitive instruments of the racism of the person or people calling the police. People calling the police for completely inexcusable, disgustingly racist reasons like those in the following links  #permitpatty    [ calling the police on a 8 year old Afrikan American girl who was selling water...ON THE 8 YEAR OLD GIRL'S MOTHER'S PROPERTY ] and  #bbqbecky  [ called the police on Afrikan Americans having a bbq at a park in Oakland, claiming that it's illegal to have a charcoal bbq in the park when of course she was wrong;  NEWSWEEK reports that the police showed up at the bbq, saw nothing wrong and no violation regarding charcoal bbq'ing, and let the party continue  ]. #911racists know

The purpose of this Angoleiro roda drill hosted by Mestre Themba and his students in Oakland California was to remove your partner from the circle/roda by using minimal striking, primarily posture, movement, and cutting off your opponent's ability to escape/evade/maneuver, then pushing/sweeping/takedowns/throws or striking. Using Udanganyifu [ miscalled by the Brazilian Portuguese term "malicia" ] is required. Both feet and all parts of the body had to remain in the circle...with emphasis being on the hands and feet. After dealing with the slick technical skills of my younger brother in the White hoodie, SENSEI THOMAS OF THE WAY OF SIMPLICITY [ which we both learned from our primary teacher and Senior Lead Instructor of the Family Arts, Uncle Bobby ], I managed to get him to step with one foot out of the circle. It was fun and the way Mestre Themba's Angoleiros practice this skill drill is unique amongst most who trace their lineage to &q
