I love this art, activity, game, whatever you want to call it. It’s a great way to be in shape and its fun. My whole family is involved and that is the best part!
How to play capoeira
It made me
ecstatic 
"It's an ongoing experience that I wholly enjoy. I want to continue doing this as it continues to enrich the lives of my whole family. It's wonderful!"
How I did it: Well, it's hard. Just keep practicing. I travel twice a week for two hours one way to go to class. I practice at home with my spouse to get better. I also like to watch youtube videos, or watch the dvd's on the art which show in slow motion how to do it. It breaks down the moves step by step. Just practice, practice, practice.
Lessons & tips: Practice.
watch videos
listen to the music
learn basic portuguese for the art
Resources: wikipedia
youtube
book store for book with detailed photos of the forms.

Out of Shape
2 years ago
I want to play capoeira, but I am so far out of shape now that I don’t think I can. Plus, it’s really weird for me to get in the middle of the jota. I feel awkward and clumsy, probably because I am! Ha. I want to start running again and get in shape so that I don’t feel awkward any more.
I hope that I can start going to the gym/running outside three times a week, starting this week even though it’s Thursday now, ha. I realize that change doesn’t come at convenient times. :)
If you are in New York and want to learn from one of the most respected cornerstones of Capoeira, we are blessed with this opportunity. Classes are 15bucks Monday thru Friday 6:30 to 8:30
He’s a really good place to get to know the roots of what Capoeira is all about. Puro Angolero.

Ive been wanting to do this for a while, so i started looking around for books to read up a little more on the subject. Ive always been a little nervous on going in to somehthing with out knowing a little more about it. I found a book called Capoeira Conditioning.
Might be something you want to look into.

I just started doing and have completed a beginner’s course in Capoeira and I absolutely love it.
It is so fantastic and full of energy and life and I am learning more stuff than I ever imagined or thought possible.

I’d been playing regularly for several months with Capoeira Batuque before I dropped off. Now I smoke excessively and have a lot of bad habits that let me stop myself from geting out there. I’ll probably have to postpone this while I go to Costa Rica, but soon …
