>Two Portuguese speakers talking in English, that's the joke.
Kek, I already got banned a couple of times for this, so I avoid it now
>Private schools? If they're public schools, they must be part of some program to encourage sports.
Oh, I didn't think they were different but that makes sense
>The gangs don't exist anymore, but gang behavior in some places remains, take for example the Chute Boxe x Capoeira challenge, it started with a fight between capoeiristas who were in a gang on the beach, behavior similar to that of the pitboys of the 90s who fought BJJ and went out in groups at night attacking people.
>Chute Boxe x Capoeira challenge
I had no idea this was a thing kek I already know what I'm going to watch during lunch, thanks
>By systematized I meant that it is much more like self-defense, where you learn some very specific techniques that work for almost everything, than a combat sport where you develop a wide range of skills because your opponent is already used to defending himself from basic blows.
Makes sense, I imagine most of the knowledge people had for majority of it came from word of mouth, right? Only recently I learned how long it took for Brazil to make slavery illegal, kinda messed up
>I trained capoeira for 2 years and I have a degree in history.
Damn, that's dope, I kind of want to get my BJJ purple belt before going on another adventure, but I'm really tempted to join a Capoeira group nearby, looked very fun
>It is a tremendous cultural and physical activity, and I see that the biggest problem for it to develop further is precisely the religious aspect.
Do you think there is any chance for it in the future? I've noticed most kids are less religious nowadays than when I got here (around 2005)
