capoeira log 6

my apologies, joaninha! haha, the log continues...

M (6/2/2008) :
Today we practiced one long (and interesting) sequencia -
right leg back - step + mea lua de frente - quexada - esquiva right/left - left leg back - esquiva lateral - negativa / rolle (2 times) - switch negativa - roquo (sp?) -
martelo (off left) - left back - rastera (off right) - slide in the rastera foot into roquo - back to jinga + switch jinga

T (6/3/2008) :
People were shocked I came two days in a row, haha. Well today we practiced this sequencia -
1. mea lua de frente - quexada - mea lua de compasso / queda de rins * - roquo (sp?) - jinga twice
2. mea lua de frente - quexada - mea lua de compasso / queda de rins * - half rolle - macaco - jinga twice

* haha, i don't know the exact title of this move - so i call it mea lua de compasso / queda de rins to describe it because it's like both of those moves combined. you twist your legs in, ducking your head through your hands through your legs, and sweep compasso style only while leaning your hips on your elbows. you then point your leg back into negativa again. you know what i'm talking about -- you've probably seen it 10,000s of times.

F (6/6/2008) :
1.) reach out wide into au stretchy pose - pull in your body into queda de rins so that your ear nearly touches the floor, but doesn't - negativa - rolle - switch jinga - quexada - slide into that "queda de rins/ mea lua de compasso" move - negativa - rolle - switch jinga
2.) repeat 1, but start off with an armada.
3.) start from 2, but after the first negativa, switch negativa - au over into negativa on the other leg - rolle.

[ this movement is from last week: au - descida - negativa - rolle (diagonal forward) (+ repeat) ]

happy jogando!
