Krim Oh welcome to the show this is a
combo of dance martial arts and music
right yes it's a martial art and because
of the history we do it to live music
but let's go ahead and get started all
right all right so the basic movement
that we do in Kupwara is called a Ginga
and it's like a lunging Ginga means to
swing so we're gonna go back and forth
so in the middle and then you switch
your arms legs alright always have to
look because we do this with a partner
here and then the next movement we do so
in Kupwara we don't block when someone
kicks like in other martial arts we've
made normally I would be wearing next
time I'll bring my yoga pants and also
later we're gonna give you the viewer at
home some details on where you guys
offer free combo Atta classes I'm gonna
kick over you out of the way so kick

was really fun crema let's talk about
the free classes because Midtown Park
what is that cross street right there
like smiths maybe you guys offer a free
class the second Friday of every month
oh there it is Travis Street 2811 Travis
right there in Midtown Park so how do
people attend the class can they sign up
or they just show up
you can just show us and we'll be there
and we'll all be doing capoeira so
you'll get to see not just the base
movements but when we do it together we
call it Ohana and so we are doing we do
the hula where we play all of the
instruments so there's actually a couple
are displayed to live music and so if
you come to Midtown once a month you can
come and try all that try the
instruments try every part of it that's
super cool but in addition to the free
classes you guys also have a schedule of
classes if people want to do it more
often than classes from kids starting at
age 3 all the way up to teenagers and
then we have adults classes Monday all
through the week it's in the heights as
our Academy is in the heights that is
very cool and again it's called the
Brazilian Arts Foundation
so we're been in Houston for a long time
and in the heights for at least 10 years
I think it's so cool you guys are doing
it do I do I have to be Brazilian to
come and take a Portuguese travel to
Brazil 4 times now so you also are
learning a culture you're learning a
language so all of that's included as we
sing in Portuguese we learned the words
of the movements are all in Portuguese
