Why capoeira changed my life and what I experienced the last weeks!

Capoeira

Sports. One of the best things to clear your mind. For me, Capoeira is the best mix of coordination, fighting, thinking and music. Caporeira is not only a material art. It is a lifestyle. Within the past years I really felt how Capoeira changed my life. The sport gave me a focus for my energy and passion. It improved my way of thinking. Mestre Sorriso taught me how to see the things from another point of view and improved my understanding for other cultures. I learned to love the Brazilian way of thinking and doing: Think less and do the things from your heart.
Apart from that change of my personality, Capoeira changed the feeling of my body. Of course you get in shape but I earned more. I earned control, balance, anticipation and there is still much more to learn.
For almost four years I practice now. I had to stop several times. A broken leg, a torn ligament, pulled muscles, sprains and other small injuries. But I always continued. I couldn't stop doing this.
And finally I found a Capoeira group in Taiwan and started the training last week after eight weeks of pause. The muscle hangover is huge but the feeling is amazing. Call me masochistic, but I really enjoy this kind of feeling. The community of those people is very nice as well. They accept me how I am and we can share a lot of movements, experience and knowledge about Capoeira.

Improving

All the time I have here. All the thoughts I have, the work I do and all the feelings I have. All these things that happen. They really influence me more than before. I feel that I changed a lot within the last weeks. I discovered new sides of my personality and the reason for these. Sometimes it is a bit creepy to find out why you do things the way you do them. But all in all I think you only improve yourself as long as you learn and try to change something about those creepy things.
I would like to give an example but I think this is very private stuff and this is the Internet.
All in all I like the way I go, even if I'm desperate or depressed. In the end I will be stronger.

Fighting panic and taking risks

Taipei night view secrets Visiting Elephant mountain at night is not that special. You get a really sunning view on Taipei at night. And a lot of tourism. In fact it is special but not really nice to go there. To avoid tourism I planned a thrilling small hike using the unlighted paths and experience the vibrant jungle at night. Yes, that’s quite frightening but at some point I got curious. While taking pictures of Taipei at the top of Elephant mountain I saw a sign to Muzhi Mountain. Half an hour, 1.5 kilometers, dark unlit path until another peak. Go for it. Heading upwards to the platform my feelings were thrilling. The darkness got more as closer I got to Mountain Muzhi. The path got smaller and the jungle got louder. I want to give you an impression of my journey: It is dark. You are alone. Separated from others. Nothing to hear, except the whirring insects. Wind blows slightly through the huge bamboo. Somewhere a creaking noise. Suddenly a loud rustling right next to me....

Arrived

(Wrote that on flight) Only two hours to go...  I am feeling a bit inconveniant due to a cold, but for the rest fine. I am very confident with the sirvice of the airlines and the kindness of the personal. First you have to know that this was my first flight. So I had no clear image of what to do in which prder at the airport. In Düsseldorf I just went to the information desk. Due to my online check they sent me directly to the drop off. The lady at the drop off station was very kind and checked me in for my second flight from Vienna to Taipei. In Vienna I just walked to the other gate and directly into the plane. Now on the second flight I asked if I can get an emergency seat. I had luck and got a place for humans with long legs in economy class. The meals are of good quality concerning the circumstances. The flight personal is very kind and polite (I know it's their Job to do so) let me give you am example: I asked if they have a power outlet with USB-port to charge my mo...
