How to Solve Issues With Capoeira - The Hidden Philosophy of Capoeira (Interview w/ Muestra Eme Eme)

[@wkshd5752]

I wanted to learn Capoeira when I was in college but there wasn't any classes near to me. But I think Capoeira is more popular now, so I'm going to try my luck again. 🤔

I saw his name and assumed he was igbo like me, so I pronounced it the same way "Eme-Eme" 😅 I really enjoyed this interview thanks for sharing your story.

The way you've mastered the movement & your body control is Amazing to watch. You can see that you are in tune with your Chi & tapped into divinity.

Watched many episodes but have to comment now. I'm a Tiv man from Benue and have followed the spirituality within me for most of my life. I was born in Gboko, Benue State, but grew up on Oahu in Hawaii. Every time I would go home to Nigeria I would get a proper tongue lashing for asking about how we worshiped before Islam and the Europeans. I can go on and on, but wanted to keep this short because I trained with Capoeira Mandginga out of Oakland California for a few years. I also had a contra mestre named Malandro so there were too many things in this episode that resonated with me. My Capoeira name is Eclipse. I'm a bit older now so I train mostly by myself for fitness, but wanted to reach out and thank you for this wonderful spiritual knowledge share. I've long since come to the conclusion that Africans have circled the globe many times over before this contemporary teachings we learned in Western education. I started confiding in the Sun God after respectfully leaving Christianity about 35 years ago. Anyway, I'll follow your episodes more as so many of the things on your channel are things I've been doing/living independently simply following the life force within me. We have a very similar word for chi in Tiv. Sorry for the long message, I'll try to get your email somehow to learn more about you. Thank you!

This is really cool to know that Capoeira is taught in music city USA !

Also you can see Rabo de arraia performed by Khoisan in old film clip back in the day right here on KZbin put ogolo. Ngolo was born in Angola and adjacent regions of Kongo and became militarised in Brazil. That why you see all over central Afraka that they had tripping games with movements very similar to what is known today as Capoeira. In the new world from Brasil to Carribean to Carolina Sea Islands you have Ladja or similar styles like kicking and knocking.

[@malcolmking5023]

Ngolo (capoeira) is underestimated from combat to spiritual to other life situation. Also just as in combat it is not what you think or applied how you think, malencia.

[@grunggadx25]

Idea maybe for a future video on Igbo wrestling

[@MB-yq8lv]

What's the name of the movie he recommended at 16:20?

[@livsaturn4894]

This is like Sanjuro. Sanjuro Kickboxing MMA taught by Jackie Chan's school. I do Sanjuro. Capoeira is very similar

[@odarayamello9223]

Mandinga*

[@odarayamello9223]

Please correct

[@odarayamello9223]

Mandinga not Mal ginga

[@GDMiller419]

Came here to say this. And it's said to come from the Mandinka/Mandingo, who were known to be powerful warriors with string mystical abilities which even the colonizers recognized.
