First time with Capoeira. Was it hard for you?

Question

I took my first class and it was ROUGH!!! But it was quite addictive. Tell me it gets easier to handle (skillwise, I know it that will get harder.)

Answer 1

It was Rough for me and I was use to pushing myself physically from wrestling. It does get easier, but I am in an ASCAB School in cleveland, and in general we work hard than other schools and it really shows in the roda. If you stick with it gets easier and the skills progress in a way that is very manageable.

Answer 2

Interesting choice of arts!

That's actually a cross between dancing, music, martial arts, and games from Brazil I believe?

I've actually never seen anywhere that teaches that. What did they have you do?

Answer 3

yeah it does get kinda easier. at first i was hopeless and i started getting decent and when you start getting things right it makes it more fun. but then they stopped teaching near me *cry*

well it gets easier physically because you start useing muscles you probs dont use much outside capoeira. sure some of the higher techniques are harder skillwise to do thats why they teach you the easier ones first to build up strength so you can do the technique but like every move you still have to practice and you will get it out eventually.

Answer 4

Dance or fight. choose one.
