2025 SUMMER | From Traditional Dance to Capoeira Street Fighter

Описание: Ever wondered how a West African dance background leads to a unique style of capoeira street fighting? This is my story of evolution, from the circle (roda) to the concrete jungle.

My journey wasn't linear. Inspired by my traditional West African dance roots, I was drawn to the Afro-Brazilian martial art disguised as dance. I trained in Capoeira on and off for 9 years, but it was during the 2020 lockdowns that everything changed. With no academy to go to, I resumed my training alone, and that's when my style transformed.

My Training Evolution:

The Foundation: A traditional West African dance background provided the rhythm and body awareness.

The Formal Years: 9 years of on-and-off formal Capoeira training, learning the discipline and classic techniques.

The Pivot (2020 Lockdowns): I began training independently, relying on myself and my environment.

The Transformation (2021-2023): Training unassisted allowed my Capoeira to evolve from a formal discipline into a practical, raw style of Capoeira street fighting, heavily influenced by Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) concepts.

The Fusion (2023-Present): I've now integrated Filipino Kali, weapon-based flow, and contemporary Capoeira movements into my combat training and full-body calisthenics workout repertoire.

What I'm doing might look unorthodox, but as we say... practice makes perfect!
