Capoeira

Inspired by a Capoeira performance we saw in the streets today, Rai, you decided to try a little capoeira yourself. Obviously you couldn't face a challenger more than a foot or two tall so you approached the first like-sized opponent you could find: a dog.
Before the dog knew what hit him, you had him by the tail. Then, a finger in the eye, followed by a slap to the back. Sure, those may not be true capoeira moves, but you didn't care. Your arms, like the legs of the performers we had seen, were a blur of motion, moving this way and that. Honing your skills, you tried it on the next three dogs we saw too, finishing with a deadly routine on a dog at least twice your size. Now, that's courage.
