Not sure how many have heard of this, so here is a link to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeria and here is a link to a video on youtube:

I really wanted to do that for the longest time but as you can see those guys are incredibly fit and it is not exactly a sport for overweight and unfit people. Well, and that is what I used to be my whole life.
Now, they are offering classes where I live for total beginners (keep your fingers crossed!) and I am at (well, close) to my goal weight, so I signed up!
The first class is on Saturday and I am a little nervous.
I will check back on Monday or so and let you know how it went. Well, if I survive it, that is.
Anyways, I figured I start a thread and see if somebody else is crazy enough to try out Capoeira. :-) Anybody doing it or used to do it?
