Welcome to the virtual roda. As in a real roda the games are controlled by the soul of capoeira - listen to the music, and play that kind of game. If you have any complaints about material on this forum please contact Brabo at [email protected].
| Topic: Amarrando o berimbau... |
| Galen 2008-09-05 15:58:54 |
... is pretty tough. If it hadn't been pointed out to me early on that the berimbau is training *me* by resisting so much, I'd have punched a wall by now. In other news, I've been teaching myself Portuguese for the past few weeks, and if anyone would help me practice on here, that'd be sweet. Or, if anyone wants to train with me, muito melhor! I won't hold my breath, though. Hamilton's capoeira community seems to be pretty small right now, aside from Ra's class. Tamb�m, eu estou novo aqui, Ol�! |

Nossa, two days and no response. Guess these forums aren't frequented so often? Ah well. At least I have my arrogant berimbau to help me train? |

It not you, bro; it's those spam robots on the forum that drove everyone away. The berimbau is a hard but fair friend.

Yeah, by the looks of it this forum could use a register-to-post system pretty bad.

See if you get soem old capoeira music like bimba, traira, the stuff with the raw funk and play heaps of sao bento grande de angola, if played properly it's acutally quite a dynamic instrument, it depends on how it is played and what it is accompanied with.

Ah yeah, I got plenty of songs I'm itching to learn, and I would be practicing every day for hours if I was able to. The problem is that I can't string it up just right yet. I can't get enough tension in it. Well, I can, but whenever I wrap around the arame the first time I lose just enough of it to ruin the sound. I hope I figure this out soon; it's depressing to not be able to practice proper. |

yeah, trying to string it up is the lesson at the moment and there no need to string it up too tight, but you'll find your way...you'll be learning everything through the process of doing what you are doing at the moment...

Yeah, these forums have been spammed to hell... And there is in fact a nice, good looking, fully functional register-and-sign-in board on the members site just waiting for more people to register... So if you're a member get in touch with your branch rep. And if you're not.. Why aren't you?! You're missing out! Hehe.

I can't really tell if these are the names you guys usually go by or you're just making them up for kicks, but hey, thanks for the words of encouragement. There isn't any branch in Hamilton atm, as far as I know. I'll probably become a member sometime next year, when/if I begin Uni in Christchurch. (FYI, the members button up top there takes me to a broken page of the website) |

O deus! Ra, since when do Capoeiristas get illnesses?! I kid, but seriously, it's a sad week when I can't get my capoeira fix. :/ Well, time for another week of solo training. |

So no capoeira *and* soap operas... a fate worse than death. Get well bro! Oh and totally, I'd always be up for some more training. |

The link is broken because this site is now *only* this forum, for posterity's sake. You need to go to www.capoeira.org.nz to get to the proper website
