What's up guys? Welcome back to Vagabrothers.
Right now we are at the
Brazil Brazil Cultural Center in Culver City, Los Angeles.
And today we're going to learn the Brazilian marshal
arts/ dance move ,Capoeira
with our friend from Brazil, Gabi Lopes.
Hi guys. I come from Brazil. Are you excited?
Oh of course. I've never tried Capoeira in my life. No?
That's impossible. Yeah, and I'm Brazilian.
I just know that you can't use your shoes. OK
So look at that. Shoes are off.
Well then these are coming off.
There we are. OK. Let's do it.
Ladies first, right? Ladies first. Always, always.
What's up guys? Nice to meet. Thanks for coming.
Thank you for teaching us.
Are you ready to sweat and get some good workout?
I think so.
Capoeira is a way of life.
Is it a marshal art or a dance style?
Well Capoeira is a mix
because in Brazil, during slavery,
it was illegal to practice marshal arts.
You know,
So there are many theories,
but one of them is
that Capoeira was disguised
as a dance because it was illegal to do marshal arts.
Even the instruments, the songs, all this came together
as a result of being illegal at the time.
It is a combination of dance and marshal arts
and acrobatics.
So today we're going to warm up.
We're going to go through different drills.
Towards the end, I would like to see you guys
put it all together
and battle one against the other.
So I think It should be interesting.
I'm excited. I'm ready. I'm ready.
Good stuff. I've got...I think I have
some natural moves that Alex does not know about.
So we're going to see if I can take him down.
Like always. Brotherly competition.
Oh sorry. I actually hit him in the face.
( Laughing) Ouch
You dick! You're going down.
Here we go.
Um, Dois, Tres, Quatro, Cinco
Stay down. Come on, Bro. Let's do those dance moves.
Good.
Yes. You've got it.
I'm swinging like a monkey.
Whenever I've ever experience Capoeira in the wild,
it's usually been on the beach,
and people doing that.
But it goes from that step into a back flip
and I'm just awed.
Nice
Howl
We're going to do "ah oooooo" right now
which sounds simple,
but i know is going to be difficult
because it's the double kick spin
with a cartwheel.
How do you feel? Like a "oooooo."
ah oooooo
Have you guys seen "Street Fighter"?
Do you remember that? Was it Blanco?
The guy who was the Brazilian jiujitsu guy?
Roar. That's what I feel like now.
You kind of look like him. I know. Thanks, Bro.
Ginga and then we go........
All right. Nice.
Yeah, Left. Backwards. You've got it.
Yeah, yeah. And now a cartwheel.
( Clap) Yeah. Nice.
Now I'm a professional.
All right. So now Alex and I are facing off.
See what we learned today.
It's the battle
We have the "berimbau"
Sounds cool. Cool.
Say "berimbau" 5 times fast.
Berimbau, berimbau, berimbau!
Ready?
Start this?
And the winner is?????
Me. No. Maybe?
Your turn.
No guys
And the winner is? Me
That was insane.
Did you guys enjoy it? Of course. A lot. Right?
I definitely liked it.
It's cool how it is a dance and a marshal art.
And the history behind it is also very interesting.
And the music. But it is too hard.
It's very hard.
I don't think it's too hard.
I just think that...... Ah come on!
It's not that hard. You just need a little time to learn.
