The other day I post up a piece on Jeff and I hitting the club…the gynastics club that is, to start getting flurish for our capoeira. I ask Jeff to send over a couple of his clips and he did! Here is what Jeff (Kung-Fu) sent in.
Hey Soldado
I checked out your web site. Its pretty sweet! I like you idea of showing your progress with the back flip. We will have to go back to the gym and get that thing nailed down.
I am sending you my little vid. The first move I have practicing forever. I finally thought I mastered it in the pit (which is shown in the first clip). I then moved to the floor and I pulled it off with no problems and no footage either. So I decided to try it again with the camera on (that is the second piece of footage) and I just squeaked it out. I decided to try it a third time so I could get a good one on film but it didn’t really work out that way. I was really tired and as you can see on the third clip I tweaked my knee a little. The second move I have seen my old capoeira teacher do all the time and I loved it. So I tried it in the pit and it doesn’t look too bad. It will be scary as hell once I move that one to the floor. The third is the move that you recorded before you left. I still need to get more height to make it all the way around without touching the ground with my hands but I am working on it. Hope you enjoy. Talk to you later.
