This is a specialist school pitched towards local students as well as the international students…read morewho are interested in gaining their certification in Horticultural Studies. They are well recognised and part of the nationally recognised qualification system so it is a secure environment for a student who may wish to travel around the country after graduating and indeed be recognised with their accreditation. Horticulture is the process of growing plants and caring for them, it concerns everything from soil preparation through to harvesting food crops. A significant skill and skill set to have qualifications in and an area that a great deal of international students are interested in. The facility is a fair size and is well kept and I have not met a student yet who is unhappy with the service or they provision of support; particularly for international students who often may find studying in a country such as Australia something of a challenge because Australians are such a confusing mob to deal with. Many of the students I know are from India and they have all commented on how much they are enjoying the course. Now that is only about seven people, and all male, but nevertheless I think it is always a good sign when students speak well of the institution they are studying at.

Back in college, I got introduced to Capoeira from a friend who was keen to start a club on campus…read more Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that has a few styles and is more generally divided into the Angola and Regional styles. Watching a Capoeira performance, probably the most attractive thing about it is the wide range of acrobatic moves and high flying kicks and flips which more experienced practitioners are able to perform. Looking more like a dance rather than a martial art, the "players" as they are called will enter a circle, which is usually formed by the other players and music will be played on a traditional instrument called the Berimbau, which is shaped like a bow and held tight by a steel string. There will be singing and music as players enter the circle two at a time, playing a game of martial chess whereby either individual will try and outsmart the other in order to trip them up or open their defences in order to score a "hit". No actual hitting is allowed in the circle or "Roda" as it is called and the feeling is generally kept playful and friendly. In between all that though, the players are usually exhibiting kicks infused with ground and aerial acrobatics in order to maintain the flow of the "game" and fluidity of their movement. I might not be explaining all this 100% correctly, but basically Capoeira is a very dynamic, fun and very physically challenging martial art which is unlike any other martial art you might come across as it evolved independently from Chinese and oriental influences. As for the actual place in Adelaide, Soul Capoeira which is run by Chan Griffith would be my go to place for Capoeira. A fun, friendly environment, training at Soul Capoeira was what I used to do back in the early days of arriving in Adelaide and I've always enjoyed the training sessions there. The classes are suitable for people of all ages and don't worry if you can't do front flips, back flips and have the flexibility of a solid piece of wood. There are people of all levels in the class, so you don't have to worry about elitism or feeling left out. The training can be hard, but it is fun and you will improve over time as you train. There isn't another martial art I can think of that incorporates music into it, so if you're looking for a fun way to get fit, meet people and learn a new different kind of martial art, I would pay Soul Capoeira a visit.
