Lol...Everybody has the wrong perception of capoeira. If a capoeirista sees an unavoidable fight coming(robbery, bar brawl), he finishes it by any means available. Anything goes. Classic old timers used razors hidden away. Flips and stunts are for showing off and performances only. When you come down to it, capoeira is probably a crappy martial art. However, the awareness and craftiness, the tips and tricks a capoeirista absorbs would probably make it one of the best self-defence arts in the world.

The ginga is a movement which enables the capoeirista to keep his weight constantly flexible. So, a quick attack would see the capoeirista just moving out of the way, and counterattacking when the opponent pulls back.

Krav Maga, any training centres here in Malaysia ah?

Hi Jurusilat,

May I know the fees per month, classes time-table? Are you teaching sports BJJ (with gi) or no gi or MMA? Any standup other than throws & takedowns?

Thanks.

Well I'm not the instructor, but normally BJJ is taught with the gi. I'm sure the instructor will be doing some no-gi as well.

AS far as I know, classes are scheduled on Mondays and Thursdays at 8pm. The fees I can't remember, but you can check out the blog that I posted above.

up until now, i only seen one fight of capoeira that is from that thailand movie, no others, not even on youtube.

does anyone have a real clip? lol sparring maybe, some kids playing sparring with it~

hi there, how about my worldgrandmaster sifu.. generate ur internal energy and subconcious mind.

im instructor there --> visit www.pyracosmic.com





p/s im new in this thread, so long searching now realize it was here.

Anyone from here going for the class tonight?

Where is the gym to be exact?
Let's say I'm coming from Puchong, someone please give me clearer guide.

thanks

Hi there,

In regards to you question:

1. Coming from Puchong, go straight till you reach SS24/SS2/SS4 (you can head to Ming Tien food court) fly over, make a u-turn at the fly over. Go pass Kelana Jaya Putra LRT station. After the station, go slow. Keep left as you will have to turn left the minute you see one. Turn left again after the first turn. Go to the end of the row of the shops fronting LDP. Ding is located above a pastry/bakery shop.

2. Entrance fee: RM 50. Membership fee: RM 30
Prepaid package: RM 180 = 8 classes (to be used in 3 months)
One class = RM 30.
Every Monday and Tuesday 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm

Monday, Oct 1, 2007 was a free trial class. Participation was very good. Participants from all types of martial art.

It is always good to have a gi.

Hopefully there will be a good number who will want to start training this Thursday...

Morph and MFLooi,

Were you guys there last night?

Hi Jurusilat,

Yes, I was there to participate and I intend to continue. It was a refreshing new experience.

Hey u guys were there?

Which one were you guys?

I was the only guy in black shorts.

The conditioning class was fun to begin with

Hi there Morph,

So you're the one with the knee guard.
Anyway, there was about 20 of us. Karate-ka, judo-ka, TKD, BJJ and god knows what else.

I felt the time period wasn't enough. Quico is very humble and friendly.

Morph & MFLooi

You guys coming on Thurs? Will say "hi" to you then.

MFLooi,
Yeah I was the one with knee guard.
After 2 years of hiatus from martial arts training, I'm real happy to be training again.
Need to get back in shape, my abs hurts now

Yeah, agree with u. Should make it 2 hours
"We Learn From Each Other" <--- that's

Which one was you la?
Thank you so much for the directions you gave me, sorry I forgot to mention it earlier

jurusilat,
I want to go on Thursday + sign up, but hope everything goes well.
The only drawback of joining the classes is the distance im staying ... it's 30km away from my home.
Currently im on semester break and will resume classes on 8th October, not sure if im able to cope.

sigh~

The same problem im facing with KDTA, wanted to join them too last time, but its too far.
And which guy was you ?

Well if you sign up Thursday, I'll come say "hi".

ps. Dont let distance deter you. I remember back in my uni days having to travel more than an hour to train in JKD. If you really are determined to learn, then you gotta go for it!...

Morph,

Please don't let distance deter you. I'm guessing that you are driving?
I live nearby Kajang. Next month onwards, my mode of transport is LRTs.

Don't dwell on the negative elements. Please do not let the distance become an excuse.

Thanks for the encouragement guys

You guys got your GIs already?
I managed to get one for myself, but it's RM448, havent collect it yet.

OMG! New sport, damn expensive to start off.

Whoa...that's pricey! But then all BJJ gis are... Where did you order from?

Anyway if it's a good brand, it will last for years.

Yeah, it's pricey.

I got it from KDTA.
It's a Gameness Platinum Weave. According to Gameness's website, it's the highest range Gi.

I decided to get a good one since I'm going to be serious about it. hahaha!

Check out with KDTA for your GIs, if you really want a BJJ and not those Aikido and Judo.

Ahh...Gameness. Good gi. Price is actually ok since it's pretty good quality.
