Learn capoeira calisthenics fundamentals, using bodyweight resistance to build strength and graceful movement through floreio, rooted in capoeira as an Afro-Brazilian martial art.
Master the queda de rins, a kidney fall from capoeira, through progressive variations, wall work, and weight-distribution drills that build wrist strength, elbow placement, and balance.
Explore advanced queda de rins variations in capoeira calisthenics, integrate six variations into a fluid sequence, and strengthen the core with targeted exercises like v-sits, planks, and banana holds.
Learn to enter QDR (queda de rins) from your back, using a back warm up and a controlled push onto the elbow and ribs, then flow to both sides.
Master the small bridge in Capoeira calisthenics: descend from squatting, flow six times to each side, and enter QDR variation five into a squat.
Learn to enter and exit the ponte high bridge in capoeira calisthenics, progressing from half bridge to full bridge with wall support and mindful mobility.
Learn the corta capim (lawn mower) movement from the negativa stance through four-part cc and reversed cc drills on both sides, building speed and explosive power.
Experience flow in capoeira calisthenics by combining learned movements into fluent sequences, using QDR HighBridge, Low bridge, and CC to enhance mobility, strength, and the joy of movement.
Calisthenics is mostly associated with using our body weight in order to develop strenght and physique.
Capoeira is a 500 year old martial art, with what is probably one of the richest movimental arsenals out there.
one of Capoeira's movimental building blocks is the floor work or in Portuguese "floreio". Where, as in calisthenics, we carry our body weight performing incredible feats.
In this course we will learn technique together with strength and flexibility drills, in order to learn the:
- Queda de rins variations.
-low bridge
-high bridge
-lawn mower(regular and reversed)
and finally we will learn about the concepts of flow and creativity, learning how to perform our own unique combinations using our newly gained strenght, flexibilty and movimental repertoire.
