Home Country:  | capoeira - what would beginners expect?
obviously takes time to learn but what would a newbie be started on? could i assume theres enough variety of moves to learn at the begining and you wouldnt be tied to a repetative routine?

Home Country:  | You would probably learn the ginga first and foremost, then a few basic kicks, cartwheels and escapes.
Same with any martial arts class really, where do you start...at the beginning. 
Of course it depends on the session, if you are joining a class with people who have been doing it for a few weeks or more you might feel like you've been thrown in the deep end for your first lesson, but just stick at it.

Then stop." Although in martial arts, I think coming to the end means that you have to raise you standards and aim higher. | |

Home Country:  | Is that because your only black belt is here on MA Forums, or because you too have many worldly issues resulting from your lack of MA practice? I think MA can help you with your daily problems. They will teach you discipline, respect, and how to manage yourself.
Message me anytime. I'm always willing to help a good friend.

Home Country: | Beginers should expect....to be really sore for the first couple of weeks. I mean in muscles you won't even know you had! Also expect to feel very akward. And if you've never played capoeira before, I suggest you just watch the first roda before buying in, just to get a brief idea of what's going on. But once you decide to buy in, your partner will work with you. You'll get the hang of it.
