I defeated my capoeira teacher in the ginga (and I'm just an amateur with 14 days).
Only 14 days of capoeira and I've already developed my best moves: cartwheel without hands, cartwheel with hands, pirouette, swallow dive, defense, sweep, and kick combinations. He asked for a rematch, and was defeated again.
if your teacher's asking for rematches at 14 days, either you're learning from video or he wasn't testing you hard.
you've got the cartwheel-kicks, the swallow dive footwork, that's a whole weapon set in two weeks 🔥
okay but how does the ginga translate to actual fighting? is this sport-specific or does it carry?
can you take him down yet or is the ginga purely standing? asking for reasons.
that's a nice achievement. also, patience teaches more than speed. just something to sit with.
fourteen days and instructor-level already? were you training multiple hours daily or just naturally wired different?
what specifically won those matches for you though? the footwork, catching him on a combination, or...?
hold on, you asked your teacher for a rematch or he asked you? because if he asked twice i've got questions 🤔
