Playing at Emerald Hill

Our Capoeira group also has a class with children from an orphanage, realy close by to our house. The place is called Emerald Hill and also has a school for the deaf. This Saturday, it was their end of term and so we went to do our practise there, rather than have a training. It's always so nice to do it with children that are seeing capoeira for the first time and great fun.

After the rhoda with the kids, we kept practising and generally fooling around. It's always a good opportunity to practise moves, ask people for how they do a jump and so on. And of course, it's always the best of times to take impressive pictures, being outdoors and all. 
One fo these attempts I orchastrated finished in a catastrophy though, when I requested the three trainers to do the same move for a picture. Ed got hit on the head by Tendai, who injured his ankle... Dangerous job, to be a capoeira model... Worst of all, I missed that specific moment for a picture.
