CAPOEIRA THAT WORKS

  Rediscovering the Roots of Kipura: Wristlocks, Knife Disarms, and Standing Grappling The martial art of Kipura , miscalled Capoeira by colonizers, is far more than the flashy kicks and acrobatics often portrayed in modern interpretations. This centuries-old discipline, forged in the fires of resistance and survival by Alkebulan (miscalled African) ancestors in Brazil, has a deep and vital history that goes beyond its current representation.

Then he starts banging on your rear passenger door and window, utterly terrif...

It offers a hypercapable, hyperfunctional, and cutting-edge approach to self...
