Video Transcript

" Hello! My name is Instructor Shin and this is instructor Maurice from Capoeira School of Bahia. We are going to be talking about capoeira on behalf of Expert Village.com. So we are going to show the ginga, which is the basic movement, every single movement of capoeira comes from there. This is the most important movement in capoeira and the hardest. So basically we have the base here, you are going to step back, push your arm, come forward, so back and forth, Maurice is at my back, it is likely straight, so I am now leaning over like that and now leaning over like this, okay, so if I am facing you, you are going to be doing here, when you step back, you are going across here when you just step back, okay and my arms are always in front of my face and protects my face from the kicks. We also from this position can do little moves, just based on the ginga, just balancing over our body."
