Capoeira in Orchard road

It was a usual Saturday evening in Orchard road where everyone seems to be feasting and shopping.
However something that caught my eye was huge crowd of people gathering and watching a group of Capoeira fighters demonstrating their incredible skills.
The fighters are agile and flexible and crowds were amazed with both their skills and physique.
Their motive were to advertise the ancient Brazilian art and recruiting members for their club.
Seems cool isn't it?Well so,i managed to catch a few videos,enjoy !

Conditioning your forearm

Conditioning your forearm is just as important as conditioning your shin.
Your forearm must be strong to withstand the power of kicks during blocking.
Procedure will be the same as you apply medicated oil generously on your forearm and start rolling/hitting with a bat.

Also,it's pretty interesting to find my school National Cadet Corps(NCC) learning muay thai !
Do comment on that
