E02 Dayela — Capoeira, Joy in Movement and Critiquing Hierarchies

Christian and Dayela discuss Capoeira, the power of movement and paths to empowerment. A fierce urge to move and the joy of movement accompany Dayela’s personal struggle to strengthen the ego in order to move beyond focusing on it. This remains a topical issue in a hierarchically organised scene where the archetypal ‘Malandro’ cunningly seeks his own advantage. Dayela and Christian critically question these connections and want to contribute to a democratic, contemporary practice of Capoeira.

The monthly Kampfgefuehl podcast explores the less obvious and hidden sides of martial arts, tells untold stories and draws attention to aspects of emotional work and personal growth in fighting practices.
