To be fair, this scene is from a movie.

Oh, thanks. English is not my first (or even second) language. Thank you for reminding me about pronunciation. By the way, I guess it IS pronunciation, not pronounciation, right? Well, thank you anyway.

Yep, and it looks like this:

It was a joke, pal. Sorry if it hurt your feelings.

Queixada is spelled key-sha-da and the meaning is "chin breaker". But when they stop dancing, they raise the guard, looks like a boxer waving with more footwork.

I think everybody's just playing with you because you're mixing up "pronounce" with "spell." I knew how to say queixada, but I'm not so good with Portuguese spelling rules. Of course spelling nearly anything is easy after growing up speaking English.

Axe, camara!

Same here, dude. No hard feelings, hehe. As Bart Simpson says, "I am too shallow to be depressed".

Yup, I know it, hehe. But was fine, at least it's good to break the ice and know people around. And axe too!

By the way, which Capoeira style did you see in Japan?

I played with these guys: http://capoeiraosaka.com/ Everything I did with them was Regional. Before that I trained with some people in Memphis but they disbanded a long time ago.

They're really great. When I moved to Osaka I was having a hard time deciding between joining the Capoeira group and having fun, joining a judo school and learning something completely new, and joining the Seidokaikan Hombu and basically serving penance for all the years I pretended to know karate up till then. I truly hate myself so I went for the karate and got crippled up.

I don't mind, because it shaped my character and gave me a lot of insight into Japan that I wouldn't have had otherwise, but I sometimes think if I had just played Cap instead I'd be a much happier person.
