I was staying at a friends glassy, modern upstairs apartment in [urban npydyuan]. There was a stout, muscular, beautiful man there, and we sparred. I was way outclassed, but I let the capoeira flow take over and I thwarted his every attack. I literally pulled his energy right out of his limbs, swam with it, and turned it around. Afterward, he was impressed and asked me how it worked, and I tried to explain it. It was good, manly camaraderie.
