I first heard we would be doing capoeira during the Wellness media camp hosted by Bayer Schering, I was seriously worried because one, I can't dance to save my life, and two, doing self-defense while dancing looks too tough to me.

As a mixed method, it conditions the body as it does wonders for the mind, strength, rhythm, poetry, agility, and harmony, making it an excellent form of exercise as well. In the Philippines, the Brazilian School of Capoeira is headed by Alessandro De Azevedo Soares Coqueiro, or simply Professor Fantasma, who hails from Brazil.
