Comedian wants to show the world how much he likes Brazilian martial art capoeira
Thursday, 1 May 2008
Russell Brand has reportedly become so hooked on the Brazilian non-contact martial art capoeira that he’s planning to get a tattoo of a castrated rooster on his back.
‘He’s got a real talent for the gymnastics needed to be a capoeira master and he reckons he’s never felt better in mind, body or soul,’ a source tells the Daily Star.
‘I think his lady-killing past perfectly translates to martial arts because he can handle some uncomfortable positions and has great rhythm.’
The Portuguese word capoeira derives from capon, which means a castrated rooster.
So Russ, 32, hopes the design will show the world his dedication to the sport.

I wouldn't do that if I was you Russell. They don't know exactly where the name comes from and the cockrel route is one suggestion. Suggested such because Capoeira kind of mimmicks the movement of two fighting Cockrels and a cockrel is called Capon. However my Mestre puts forward that it was named such because origninally where they used to go to pratice the unamed art the place was called Capoeira. They went there because it had great flat green pastures perfect for Capoeira. And people would say lets go to Capoeira to pratice. Eventually people just said lets go Capoeira. So before you get a giant testicle less chicken on your back do a little research and make your own mind up. Regards Michael www.capoeiragearuk.com
The gyu is an idiot, I would think all the time he allegedly spends with birds he may know a little about the anatomy!! A tattoo of a castrated of rooster?? In what way will that look different to a tattoo of any other rooster as birds have the testicles on the inside – who will know. I do think it appropriate though a tattoo of a cock on what I can only describe as a cock, maybe it will be a self portrait!!
Russ is a genius, too intelligent for the minions.
If I didn't enjoy it so much, finding out RB is doing capoeira would be enough to put me off. As it is, capoeira is far too much fun to give up (I guess I wouldn't give up sex just cos he does it...!)
