    Tam and Briki gave a lot of really good ideas, philosophy, clarity, and more that I feel can be translated into many types of ties or play. Really great discussions that I will be recommending others to watch

    The contrast of the calm and precise movemnts of Tamandua and the intensity of the result on Brikis face and body are absolutely delightful to watch. The particularities of the semenawa are highlited by the commitment of both. Outstanding. Thank you.
