Yesterday we did a nice job. After the same rutine ginga (we did alot), mealua de frente, esquivas etc. We started to learn mealua de compaso and a bit of carnarinho. One guy is really big and he has problems with his toes flexibility we're gonna work on it. Unlike the girls who easily bent to carnarinho and generally did great.

However I feel a bit down. I went from one swamp to another. But I gave myself a word I won't give it up at least one month.

The gym is realy fucking small. I'll need to find another one. There were 5 of us and there were no other space. If more people come I'll have to devide them into groups.

What did we do:

warm up
stretching
flexibility

2 sets:

ginga
queda de rim
ginga-parallela-mealua de frente-paralella-ginga
handstand
ginga-parallela-esquiva-paralella-ginga
au

Since everybody started to ginga pretty good, because of a method I invented at the end we did a pair work with ginga and atack-defence we've learned. I've recorded a disk with slow rythm music for the class, so we did almost everything accompanied with the toques. At the very end we played a bit with Samvel to show capoeira to the people.

Everybody seemed to like the training and I'm sure 3 of 4 will come again.

In general it was messy, but ok.

warm up

2 sets:

20 rep. mealua de compaso+ armada+resistencia
10 mealua de compaso+esquiva baxa+ponte
20 finta mealua de compaso+armada other side
10 carnarinho

It was hard to control armada's balance after going out of mealua de compaso, even after the finta. I think I'll concentrate for some time on this sequence.

Going over the bridge

warm up

2 sets:

20 rep. armada+mealua de frente+armada other side
10 rep. mealua de compaso to esquiva baxo+ponte (ough, that was tough especially on exit)
20 rep. fake queixada+martelo
10 rep carnarinho (nuts ;))

20 pistol squats

Dance with me, make me sweat

warm up

2 sets:

20 rep. armada to parallela+mealua de frente+armada another side
16 rep. queda batido
20 finta queixada + martelo
10 carnarinho


I made a whole puddle of sweat, but I was satisfied with my work.

No trainings today. Gone for my place of silence.

Ressurection

Today had a goal to complete 2 cycles. So I tryed very hard because I wasn't satisfied with my prevous home work.

warm up

5 min. ginga (free ginga with fintas etc.)

20 armada+mealua de compaso
16 queda de rins (intensively)
20 esquiva baxa troca negativa
10 carnarinhos

At the second set I fulled around a bit doing armada, then fake mealua de compaso switch legs and mealua de compaso. That was fun.

Evening. Regional cycle

Yesterday's evening was all about muddle. I told David that we must put aside Arastao and Cruz and seemed to ruined his plans for the training. So we almost the same things but only with vingativa and some strength work at the end.
