One of the joys of eating at restaurants on Cours Saleya in Nice is that it was a focal point for much of the open-air street theater and entertainment. A Brazilian capoeira troupe performed one evening, holding athletic poses I can only dream of, like this one: After one set, a performer gave a short [...]

This is how not to win a Capoeira fight. It really got me thinking -- If I'm ever in a real fistfight, I'm pretty confident my opponent will break me like the pasty little Eloi that I am. Unless, of course, I happen to be packing a taser and don't deep fry my own scallops trying to get it out of my pocket. Youtube Thanks to Ian, who once punched a guy back to the future.

With a testosterone-soaked evening of capoeira, hip-hop and percussion, Brazil's Balé de Rua is the obvious breakout act from this year's Fringe – the dance group most likely to be coming soon to a theatre near you. The show starts innocently enough. The 15 men and sole woman appear in crisp white suits and sharp-brimmed hats, rolling their heads and hips while beating out a samba rhythm.

I remember when Tekken 3 came out and they had the idiot doing Capoeira. I always hated him and would crush him with ease. So I was delighted to find this :

Soma is a group therapy where people come together for about 18 months to do physical exercises and engage in personal and political discussion. It combines ideas from Austrian Jewish psychologist Wilhelm Reich, capoeira Angola, and anarchism. And unlike traditional psychotherapy, Soma rejects the authority of the therapist: during a session, a therapist is present, [...]

My friend David Spark sent me the link to the above video while we were chatting online this morning, and I facetiously commented it was a little like TechCrunch vs ZDNet. The bizarre contest above, which appears to be between a Capoeira performer and a boxer, doesn't end well for the showboater...and there is something curiously analogous to the tech world about the scenario. Those who chose to make...
