Ag’ya Danmye Ladja – I want to know more
So having an interest in Capoeira its natural when you come across similar things in other cultures you would like to know more. Surfing the great wave of YouTube I, as well as thousands of others, came across a video of “Ag’ya Danmye Ladja” a fascinating, dance, fight, expressive artform – and I would like to try to find out some more about it.
What I know so far, taken from other references on the internet:
This above video shows an art form today known as the Ladja or Danmye (previously entitled the Ag’Ya) of Martinique. Two combatants engage each other in a game of trickery, skill and acrobatic agility. At the head of the circle musicians control the tempo of the contest singing, playing drums and other instrument of African origin. Could this far-away Caribbean lookalike be a long-lost capoeira cousin? Does this offer us clues as to Capoeira’s African origins? The similarity is nothing but striking!

dia sem escurecer
Mas mesmo rastejando vou

peço ao berimbau que toca
e a Deus pra me olhar

Just when you thought you were ready, but you weren’t… but are now
So this post is more about self motivation than anything else, I have been trying to prepare myself for getting it together for a long time. I can no longer put it off and its time to sort it all out. The need to straight is well over due and I have spent too much time looking and not enough time doing.
So thats it, no more looking and all the more doing… for myself and possibly for others along the way.

Loving this video, makes me want to take some holiday and sit draw and paint all day long! One day I will have the time 
after the easter break
Well the easter break was very much needed and enjoyed! every minute and every second went down a treat. Although I wasn’t as productive as I wanted to be, I did get a start on some new tshirt designs. With a new logo to launch it all with!
Watch this space as I’ll upload some images in process soon.
I’m also close to conquering my fear of flying backwards… a few more weeks of practicing backflips and I think I’ll have it! Man its tough on the mind and body. But I will get there.
Things are all incredibly busy in every aspect, but I am having fun!! and I am also finally back online! Its like being brought back to life! I would be so lost without it… silly I know but I think that and my phone are the two things I can’t do without…
More to come soon.
