If youre with me, Ive got two new fitness opportunities near our Tacoma, WA apartments that will help you recommit to your new years goalsBrazilian capoeira and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Capo what? you might ask. Capoeira (pronounced Cap-oh-eh-dah), is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that includes elements of physical and mental strength, flexibility and agility. It is often referred to as the complete martial art because it incorporates kicks, self-defense, ground movements, acrobatics, music and culturally rich traditions. Capoeira originated during colonial times in Brazil, when African slaves were brought in to work on sugar-cane plantations. To defend themselves, the slaves practiced their own form of martial art, which they later had to disguise into a dance so as to not upset their masters. Capoeira has become a worldwide sport and remains one of the coolest martial arts available. Just fifteen minutes away from Nantucket Gate Apartments, youll find Capoeira Angola Palmares, where anyone is welcome to learn this awesome martial art. If youre looking for something a little more conservative and functional in terms of self-defense, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) might be just for you. Originated in Japan and perfected in Brazil, BJJ promotes the idea that physically weaker individuals can tactfully defend themselves against substantially larger assailants through careful leverage, joint locks, choke-holds, and ground work. It has become the staple martial art for professional MMA fighters. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tacoma, just ten minutes from Westminster Towers, welcomes anyone who is interested in achieving fitness goals in a disciplined environment that helps build self-confidence and self-esteem.
