i wish i will be
just a quarter of what my master is for me
he changed my life. theres no other way to say it
dende camradas this is tom mandingueiro polonsky with capoeira life show
today im here with prof tomi
from kohav yair and alfei menashe
student of mestre chocolate
we are from the same genration
we grew up togther in capoeira
i hope you enjoy todays interveiw
my teacher came to teach in the city when i was 10 yo
maybe even 9
back than all the kids around israel were crazy about capoeira
i was very over weight as a kid
2002?
yes 2001-2002
i started capoeira 2003
capoeira was very populer at the time
and i was afraid to join becuse i tought im to fat to move
but i tryed to do some moves with my classmates
until one time my freind had a bday
and mestre choco came with his students to give a show
most of his students was 15 yo with second belt
and they had a roda and it was amazing
i told myself i must go to capoeira
can you recall youre reaction
after the first class?
i remmeber after the first batizado i came home
and told my mom one day ill be a capoeira teacher when i was 12 yo
its not easy to be heavy and watching everybody
training and jumping
when fifth graders were doing crazy stuff
and youre like.. ok ill train my ginga
eventually it payed off
eventually i found out it has more importance then flipping
eventually i found out it has more importance then flipping
but it wassnt easy
to be honest being heavy is alot for the body to take
the damge is acumalting and i can feel that
the damge is acumalting and i can feel that
its not the same
ppl have no idea
right. its not talked about
im in a battle. me and my knee against my stomach
whos winning>?
its the struggle getting back to training properly
its very hard taking baring weight and bad knees togther
im going to the academy and training
at the end of the training im very pumped
its very hard taking baring weight and bad knees togther
but the day afterawrds the pain is so bad
all of my muscels are hurting
but it becoms better and easier
today im not hurting and yesterday i was training
you think you were injured beacuse of over weight
im sure of that
im allways saying that in every sport when you train radically
when you train every day for sevral hours
it shapes the body in a certain way
and with this new shape
so it gains new strengths but the on the other side theres also e defincy
for example in capoeira the most common injures are
knees
shoulder and back
for a very obivous reasons
we become flexable in our hamstrings
and strong in our quads and thats why the knee is off balance
our backs hurts becuase the psoas gets shorten
from kicking so much
and the shoulder is because were lacking
movements of pulling in capoeira
and also this rotational move which is missing in many sports
and i find it redicoules
that capoeirstats keeps getting injured the same way
students as teachers
what are a couple of stuff you feel as you learnd
of mestre choco
we know that each teacher has his own teachings
the most meaningful thing in our group
and his teachings
we know that each teacher has his own teachings
is the freindship we have between us
and if you knows and i belive you do
theres not many groups a like
i personally dont know any its really like a family
its like theres no way i can live with out these ppl
theres no way i can live my life with out galinho
thers no scenreio like that
theres no way his having a roday or batizado
and im not there
like that
are you getting me?
and how did choco made it like that?
like that
i think that is just the way he is
he is so loyal
and the way he talks about his freinds
and his teacher
and the devotion he shows his teacher
it just get you
i wish i will be
just a quarter of what my master is for me
he changed my life. theres no other way to say it
how is it like being someone
whos is mostly known
for vocal abilteis
and somthing phsyical
i understand exactly what youre saying
for most of my capoeira i focused on the physical
until i matured..
its funny cause most of my focus is also physical
not just playing berimbau or singinca
capoeira is capoeira and choco allways said
that everything is capoeira
and you can just keep jumping and kicking
and let go of anything else
theres music.. florieo
dance..ritual...
theatry...fighting
so many aspects
so how it feels for being knowen for musicalty
its fun to stand out of the crowd
so many aspects
also theres much more good capoeirstas than good capoeira musicans
its fun to stand out of the crowd
so on one side its nice and its fun
and you get invited to sing
and i liked it alot and i try to give it my best when its my time
where they want me
and i have the opprutinty to benfit the roda
with musicalty
becuase that is your strength
yes thats true
with musicalty
im not bad at playing capoeira im good
but theres many of them out there
theres not as many good players of instrumnts and even less in singing
its very important to know
how can you benfit the rest
what is your part in an holistic view
to help create this capoeira magic
many ppl can see somone singing well
and than they think this so nice i want some too
yea its really hard to be objective
and choosing the right moment to act or not in order to contribute
and thinking maybe this is not the right time for me altough i feel like it
its very hard because were all capoeirstas
and we love capoeira and want to do it all
on the other theres ppl who miss
that im also a capoeira player
some ppl think im carolina soares
which is a singer but not a capoeirsta
that im also a capoeira player
and im not carolina
i love playing capoeira more than anything
when did you felt comftrable
with ppl asiging you
as a musican a singer when did you start calling your self that way
in the past a good capoeirsta
or a good teacher was called mestre before
before he got his mestre belt/degree
the ppl choose
certain ppl
before they feel as they are so themself
it took some yers to feel comftrable with my voice
i allways liked singing
also outside of capoeira
before capoeira i didnt really dared to sing
but i allways liked music and singing
and drumming on any thing
before capoeira i didnt really dared to sing
but...
also when i started capoeira and singing in the rodas
i felt like a frog
i liked singing
and it went well but it took sevral years
until i felt comftrable it came with maturity
i got used to my voice and my singing started to find its form
and suddenly you hear your self singing in video
and hi it dosent sound that bad
the capoeira in israel is influenced by many diffrent capoeira singers
mestre perna longa. mestre ananians
boa voz. mestre mao branca
lol? there was sppouse the be mestre suassunas photo here
mestre acrodeon
and becuse all of that mixture our music in the roda is confused
one plays berimbau this way the other sings the other way
and in brasil in cdo they wont be singng
like in another group
the cadencia is obvious and clear
and in brasil in cdo they wont be singng
and israel like we devloped our on capoeira
we havent developed our own music yet
and its mostly confuses for new commers
becuase they see the more advanced plpl
and they try jumping to where they are with going trough all what theres been in the past
and its mostly confuses for new commers
becuase they see the more advanced plpl
and they try jumping to where they are with going trough all what theres been in the past
in playing theres this thing
thats very hard to point
as a specific quality
but i call it "readyness"
you just have to play a lot and listen a lot
of cds
and playing with cds
pandeiro berimbau atabaque
one by the other because each group
has the diffrent swing
it can be very diffrent
it could be very bouncy...
i many time listen to a song
they a take a drum
and than i try to play similar
to see how can i realte to theyre way
and then i learn how to create harmony and listem
which is very important
when you play berimbau your in a conversation
not only the game is a convo playing insturment as well
and if you have to much to say its not a convo
or to little
in a reguler class we do about
80 min of capoeira and 10 min of music
right
and than we come out x8 times better
playing capoeira than playing instruments
some ppl say you need 10000 hours to master anything
we might get there with playing capoeira but not with music
maybe we dont know but all the good music players
just played a lot more
its not a big secret
if you wanna be good you have to train
its very simple
many ppl play berimbau at home
but i havent heard about many ppl who train theyre singing at home
and then your only left with singing is with other ppl
and these situatins are not as often
so i actually sing alot
not even when playing i just sing a lot
in the car
eu levo minha vida cantando
in the classes..home..when i take a shower
al the time//mostly capoeira
and i find it to be very important
