Capoeira, even the name sounds difficult
Friday, September 12th, 2008As Fitness Director for a large fitness facility, I have had the pleasure of introducing our members to several different exercise class formats. One of the most fun was Capoeira, an Afro-Brazillian martial-art. It’s like an acrobatic fight with lots of kicking.
