Go flip yourself

There is a Caopeira Festival on in Cork over the June Bank Holiday weekend (a festival during a Irish Bank Holiday, what are the odds)... It's been put together by Candeias Ireland

Anyway, there will be a public show outside of Brown Thomas on Patrick Street, Cork City tomorrow from 10am until 11:30am. Where you'll see people do stuff like these photos...









Needless to say, my back is killing me right now... I'm not too sure I'll make it for the public show but...

Ginga

A while back I noticed a flyer in a shop window in Fermoy advertising Capoeira lessons. I thought "that looks interesting" and went on my way safe in the knowledge that work would get in the way of my doing anything along those lines.

Well that reason is gone for now. But when I went looking, I couldn't find any sign of it. So the closest I got was playing games. Then roaming around a shop in Cork City I spotted a poster and realised that the lessons were in full flow.

The group is called Candeias Ireland, linked to Grupo Candeias and they do lessons in Cork and Limerick too.

It's fun and it's knackering. Look for yourself.

There is actually a big event and workshop series coming up over the June Bank Holiday weekend which means a lot to the capoeirista due to the caliber of Mestre due to attend

I think I need to practice a kick or two.



take care,
Will
