Took a Capoeira class yesterday…
… and there is no way that dude Medel learnt it in 20 hours. That shit is HARD. I have trained boxing for 3 years and have an amateur fight under my belt, so I’m no stranger to combat sports.
It’s a very beautiful way of moving and has an even more beautiful history. I also appreciate the way Medel is depicted using it, as the movements seem (to a novice) accurate. But 20 hours 😭
EDIT: maybe I wasn’t clear about what I’m trying to say. I’m not complaining that it’s unrealistic or anything, I know it’s a work of fiction. I’m just joking that taking the class contextualises how crazy this part of the story is
