Hey hey hey! Thanks for the video. There are some great ideas! Love your blog and content! Good job. But I have something to say. In the beginning of the video you say “some people think warm-up is literally warm up the body” (...sounded, like they are wrong) and then the first reason to warmup is "increase the temp. of the body"... :D But I agree with all 3 points for warm-up. I can add more: injury prevention and injury detection. Then the first exercise you do are high kicks. It might be good movement for young people with good flexibility or/and with athletic background, but I think a capoeira teacher should consider all students he has in the class (adults, with different body condition etc) - an those explosive kicks can really tear something in a not-prepared body. So for teachers and for the regular class I would highly suggest to adapt the warmup according to the group (teenagers or 50 yo+; beginners or advanced) and outside conditions (is it +40°C in the shades, or it's -30°C somewhere in Siberia). And for the people who wanted to use this warmup - please listen to your body. Some stuff might won't work for you, so you need to adapt and find alternatives.
Nice creative and practical/logical and effective. Changing the way I warm up from this and your wrist-stretching video! If you reshoot these in a studio and with Capoeira music would probably spread the word much more and faster with views and all that (though I can appreciate the "everyone can do even with little space at home" feel of these).
Starting with ponteiras with no previous stretching is risky and potentially dangerous! Not everyone have the same body conditions and beginners and new commers watching this video coulg get hurt
Actually dynamic stretches are fine to do in the beginning as long as you maintain a lower intensity. If you shoot up as hard as you can go it'd be the same as trying to PR on the bench press first thing in the morning.
1:45 first part - straight kicks. Really? I believe you've never been in the situation when your muscles are really cold and you try to make any kind of move like that without warming up and get your muscles or joints scream "dude wtf?" The next thing you know - your whole training session goes through "auch" every time the movement requires this joint/muscle to act... Please do not make people confused about such things. 2:50 and we've just procceded to stratching without proper warm-up... You're serious, aren't you? ... *facepalm* 4:30 "if you feel the pain - just beat it". Ok, I'm done. Sorry dude, but that's a thumb down.
This is a misleading video. It is not a warm-up, it is a short stretch session... It is unresponsible to suggest that people can warm-up with these stretches and have a healthy, non-injuring workout...
Thanks!! Love this!!
Glad you do man. Hope it helps you!

Thank you man. Listening to your body is sound advice, but unfortunately most people don't hear a peep.

That's a great serving of encouragement. Thanks man.
