Capoeira Fitness Tip of the Week

This feature is designed to give you functional training tools for your off days when you are not training capoeira. We will be looking at various exercises that we will have as resources for you to devise a strategy for your overall physical development as a capoeirista.

The goals are:

Overall Physical Health

Promoting Longevity

Improved Performance in your capoeira training and game

This is another installment in our anatomy series.  This week we look at the ankle joint. The ankle works really for us all day every day. The joint requires a combination of strength, stability, and mobility.  We have been working on some new ankle exercises in our warmup, so with this video you can create a better image in your mind when we are doing those exercises.

 

Enjoy!
