Suffering from a case of Banzo

 The Houaiss Portuguese dictionary defines banzo as “the psychological process caused by the removal from culture that put black slaves from Africa, transported to distant lands, into an initial state of arousal followed by impulses of rage and destruction and then a deep nostalgia that induced apathy, starving and, quite often, madness or death.”


I lifted this definition from a very good article about Capoeira called "meeting notions of community, recreation and development through Capoeira", and I had to take this opportunity to blog.


Questions: this definition fits you or anyone you know?

Let's Take It To The Next Level - 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge

Peace FAM: It is time that I move to another level. I have spoke enough about sacrifice, suffering, embracing the bitter. Now it is time for us to see these things totally in action. I have decided to commit to completing another 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge with a fast. It is about to get hard. This time I will not be doing the intermittent fasting I will be doing a straight liquid fast. The goal is to demonstrate that it can be done, to help me workout some of my personal fears, and to solidify my vision for GNJ. I am not playing with this platform I have been blessed with, and I am not playing with this product that the Ancestors have dropped in my lap. I decided to call it the Gye-Nyame Quest. Now what I will have to workout is a system that will help me make it through the rough times. I will follow everything that we do within the challenge, plus the fast. My system will look like this: Week 1 Breathing Exercise Toast Movement Cold shower/ bath proverb & folktale of

GNJ # System

  GNJ # System Introduction In the ancient world, we used numbers to count and calculate. Numbers were also used in rituals and religious ceremonies. Today, we still use numbers for these purposes, but they have become more important than ever before! Numbers provide a way to better understand ourselves as individuals. Numbers also provide a way to better understand the world around us and how we interact with it. Finally, numbers can help us learn more about how to behave so that we can achieve our goals, whether they are spiritual or material in nature. The GNJ system is a new approach that will allow you to gain insight into yourself by using numerology and astrology together! The first step is learning your Life Path Number (sometimes called your "birthday number"). This will tell you what kind of person you are at heart based on when you were born - which could be either good news or bad news depending on when that happens." Numbers provide a way to better understan
