Friend of LittleMen: “Capoeira does not focus on injuring the opponent. Rather, it emphasizes skill. Capoeiristas often prefer to show the movement without completing it, enforcing their superiority in the roda. If an opponent cannot dodge a slow attack, there is no reason to use a faster one. Each attack that comes in gives players a chance to practice an evasive technique.”

LittleMen: “Capoeira is a Brazilian fight-dance, game, and martial art created by enslaved Africans.”

LittleMen: “Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn’t hurt the untroubled spirit, either.”

LittleMen: “Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again.”
