[The first thing they teach in martial arts is how to fall. At least, that's what the good teachers insist on. A good Capoeirista doesn't fall, but when he does, he falls well.

His crouching negativa is swift, grounded and balanced and supple with his palms and the balls of his feet preventing the rest of his body from coming into contact with the floor. What he lacks in strength he may need to compensate for with reaction time and readiness for a swift evasive move, and even that may not be enough.]


Master them?
