I've done a little Capoeira Maculele. Awesome stuff. You Brazilians are crazy, I would never have thought in a million years about putting my body in some of those positions. Anyways, I feel confident in saying there has never been a man on earth that has so totally been an embarrassment on the art of Capoeira as myself. I move to damned stiff and I sure as hell can't do all that acrobatic stuff. I try though.
Honestly I only have had a few short months in it. Right now I'm not training at all for a couple reasons - one of which is another very bad hand injury.
So, just the city alone (excluding the metropolitan) of Sao Paulo has like 11 million people. You know how huge that is? My city has less than a million, your town could like come over and kick our a** 20 times over. The entire nation of Bulgaria only has like 8 million people I believe. Your town could send 9 million people over to kick Bulgaria's a** and still leave 2 million people in the city for TCB (Taking Care of Business).

Now that I live in Rio, I have close to 2 years of kombato and kali, both under Master Paulo Albuquerque, of Sina Tirsia Wali Kali Silat.

You'll need it in Rio.
How dangerous has Rio been for you anyways? That's another huge city too. How well regarded is the Gracie family in Rio by the city government and the city's middle and upper-classes? You cats should have won the last World Cup too, your team had the talent, but they played like they didn't give a damn. Hopefully Lula and the federal government spends those billions of dollars on infrastructure and maybe then you all won't be exporting so many Brazilian players across the world. Maybe then too Rio might by chance have a lot less young kids running around in flip-flops with assault rifles and t-shirts tied around their faces. You'd think with all that round bunda and samba dancing you all wouldn't need Kombato. But I guess the Palm trees makes you all a bit crazy.
Obrigado.
