    Here's one which I originally posted in "Practicality..." :

    And one more that's... interesting. Particularly the bit at 1:33:

    Sorry, meant to get round to watching these sooner, but I've only just managed it!

    Some really nice stuff there. I like the use of the heavy bag and the padwork.

    Do you do any pad work in your classes Rand? I never did, but then I was only in the beginners class and didn't manage to make training all that regularly - study and work always seemed to get in the way.

    Every time I watch capoeira training it makes me miss going to classes!

    We used focus mitts, but somehow budget always prevented buying the heavier pads; I think I'll have to fork out the cash myself if I want them. I, and few other guys, also spent some time mucking around with our instructor's heavy bag. It's something of a running joke that whenever there's a get-together at his house...

    "Where's [Rand]?"

    *sounds of heavy bag being abused all to heck*

    *collective groan from all the other people*

    :Angel:

    EDIT:

    Sigh... you and me both. :(

    Yep. Actually, I think I'm in all of them, however briefly. I suppose the guy filming doesn't find me attractive enough to put on camera. :)

    paz,

    Not quite "bodyweight," but an interesting insight into some things that are addressed frequently while practicing capoeira techniques.
