complished. Our Capoeira Team continues to grow

stronger and defined. In 2013 we will have 3 major events such as 18th international Capoeira Brasil Festival, the world Capoeira Championship and Brazil Capoeira Trip as well as national and international capoeira

festivals from our team.So my new year resolution is training, training and training to achieve my

goal using my body, mind and soul to be strong and prepared for these events.

World Championship on capoeira that has been impatiently ex-pected for a long time, finally, approaches. On May 30 - June 01, 2013 the Championship that will be organised by World

Capoeira Federation in Baku, Capital of Azerbaijan will signifi-cantly differ from preciously organized competitions.

Teams from more than 80 countries and nearly, 20 internation-al capoeira groups have been invited to this tournament.

One more main distinguishing feature of this competition is that athletes will be provided with free hotel, meals and trans-

ports within the program.

Referees, mainly, have been chosen from the masters with suf-ficient experience on capoeira and their belonging to different groups of capoeira will contribute to an objective and fair eval-

uation of athletes during the championship.

FitnessKettlebells for Capoeira

By Cindy Lai

Photopgraphy by Soaringbird, KL fitness

Kettlebells are perfect for Capoeira or any other martial arts because they help to develop a great deal of explosive, functional strength and coordina-tion. They also help to develop a great deal of strength endurance and supe-rior conditioning through the use of kettlebell circuits.All these factors are of paramount importance to a martial artist of any disci-pline. Forget about training in the old bodybuilding style while isolating your muscles with machines or dumbbells. You want to develop overall power and strength as you play in the roda to help increase your fitness level.Performing hip swings at high repetitions can help with your endurance in the roda especially if that is not your key strength. This will be especially help-ful when you are playing Sao Bento Grande and have to be quick on your feet during a short time span. Again, kettlebell training will shock your traditional cardio level and make you rethink your max heart rate!If you need to develop speed in cases, for example, where you have to switch stances from an esquiva lateral to any of the kicks, using a kettlebell (with its off centered gravity) in the same manner will train your body to become more stabilized, coordinated and quicker to increase the speed and power you need to optimize your game.

Kettlebell MMA Workout

This also applies to your upper body as well. Whether you’re doing a queda de rins, au or a handstand, you can balance yourself on kettlebells with the same movement on the floor, do a double snatch or just press up two kettle-bells with an underhand grip. You can mimic similar movements with the ket-tlebells to challenge all the muscles in your body to work harder and increase your strength.In my Kettlebell Strength and Conditioning class for Capoeiristas, I took move-ments from Capoeira and combined them with kettlebell exercises for the best supplement to a Capoeirista’s training program.In Capoeira, you always need a strong base to function optimally as a whole. Kettlebell training is excellent cross training to supplement your workout and even out your imbalances. You can easily make up for what you lack and strengthen your weaknesses at the same time.Of course proper instruction is needed, as you do not use the kettlebells in the same way in which you would use traditional weights. Technique is every-thing and your best bet would be to seek out a certified kettlebell instructor for the proper guidance. As much as kettlebells help prevent injuries, you may incur them if you do not have the right instruction.A good martial artist needs a solid exercise strategy which will help strengthen the muscles, joints and cardiovascular system in an integrative fashion. Exer-cising this way creates the ability to better stabilize your joints, improve flex-ibility and enhance mobility which is all necessary to work together effectively for the best results.There are endless amount of benefits of kettlebell training waiting for anyone who is willing to give them a try. This has been around for centuries and the results have been undeniable. Their benefits have been proven in research and experience of elite athletes. The old-time strongmen knew this and the Soviets swore by them. You have the ability to increase your fitness level phenomenally. Remember, a healthy and strong Capoeirista is a dangerous Capoeirista.
