kungfu to samba

Jul 18, 2006 - 23:55

Wushu kung-fu just wasn't much fun. I figured that was maybe part of the point, but it's been a few months and I still don't feel I've gotten anymuch out.

Enough's enough's anulled.

Today, instead-so, I rode from work to Edgewater park-beach for my first lesson in Samba with a few women who traded numbers with our Capoeira group in performing to Grupo Brasil's music last week.

Among tables, under shelter, sand on cement, distant onlookers.

Just a few basic movements. Loosen hips, slow down for now. Find music to absorb the rhythm and practice step.

Then a chat,
a swim, (or just treading,)
and a ride, (I'm just coasting.)
