Three essential Capoeira questions you should ask yourself
1. ) Do I train my foundation? If not, is there not a foundation around me in my group, in my training partners, in my teacher? Training your capoeira foundation is essential. When you build a house, you also first build the foundation, right? You cannot build on something that does not have a foundation. So what I noticed in capoeiristas that are, let's say, my age, about forty, they have trained their foundation, or even maybe thirties. When you get a bit older, most people stop training capoeira or they don't like to train the basics anymore. This is really key to stay and remain at a certain level, or to even grow. The foundation of the Kahpu Training Method it's called Ginga Flow, and this is a combination of basic capoeira but essential capoeira movements, Jogo de Corpo, or Body Play, and Fintas. Now I've created this Ginga Flow Training for every style of capoeira, every person that plays capoeira. This is essential to create because it gives you freedom, vision of the game, and a building block, a foundation to build upon. 2.) What are my personal preferences and needs? For example, a personal preference nowadays is for me to play Capoeira games where there is a connection, there is contact between the other one and me, as opposed to separately moving and showing each other cool moves. My personal preference is to find people who also want to make this connection. If I cannot find it in a game, I will try to look for it. Also very important in this regard are your physical characteristics, like what fits your body. For example, my arms and legs are pretty long, therefore, some movements I can do easily, especially defensive moves or bending my legs while touching the floor flat with my hands. I can do that easily. But if you cannot do this, some moves and some defenses you should not do. And a third aspect is: What type of body are you? Are you fast twitch? Do you have fast twitch muscles? Like, are you thin or are you a bit heavier? This also plays a big part in how you approach your Capoeira training and whether or not you should want to do certain moves, and is also influences how you play the Capoeira game tactically.

Something I need to practice. My foundation. But even though I have a muscular build I have some areas that need training like my back. I also need to strengthen that area because I feel like it would help me with my balance as well as my bridges do you have any tips.
