Any capoeiristas on MFP? If so what chord are you and how has it helped with your weightloss goals?
I'm only white, I've been doing it for 3 months and I absolutely LOVE it.

capoeira is such a beautiful art. I've been wanting to learn it! Did you take classes or are you self-taught, any input is appreciated & sorry I can't answer your question.0

I take classes with the largest capoeira school, Abada capoeira, it's amazing! look for it in your area. It's so much fun and I look forward to it everyday. My boyfriend has been doing it for 3 years and he got me into it.0

I'm a belly dancer, but I was interested in capoiera when I was a kid. You've officially inspired me to do it on once I master belly dance! I guess I just have a love for African dances, whether Spanish or Middle Eastern in nature :laugh:
Is it hard to do?0 -
No it's not hard at all! If you persistently train your kicks will be higher in a matter of weeks! Sometimes in the roda I find it difficult because it's all about instinct and I haven't developed that instinct yet, but it'll happen eventually. I love it!0

Salve!
Just received my grey cord this fall. Been at it for over 4 years. Although I feel that I am not very good!
Capoeira Regional by the way CCCB in Montreal.
As for weight loss. The exercise was obviously a help, but for me the weight loss was a result of logging my food and being careful about what I eat.0 -
I'm also eating only 1200 calories, so I'm hoping the capoeira exercise is enough to push the weightloss along. Grey? I don't think we have grey in my school, haven't seen it. What's it above/under?0

1200 calories is not enough for any form of exercise unless you're under 5"0. Eat 1500-1600 instead, the inches will fall off as your body builds muscle!
Thank you for telling me about capoeira by the way, & answering my questions :flowerforyou:0 -

You're welcome.
I'm 4"7" lol... I'm tiny, so 1200 is actually quite a lot for me.0
