A woman named Missy who is one half of the duo, Feedbuck Galore, who do
the visuals at Konkrete Jungle, practices capoeira, and occasionally has
some of her friends come down to the club and "spar" to the music I spin
(we also have a LARGE contingent of breakdancers). It's fun to watch,
but as a kung fu man myself I can't help but think that a well placed
swift side kick could end all that dancing around business in a "real"
fight.
