| What is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?
We teach a style commonly known as Capoeira Contemporânea (Contemporary Capoeira), which blends various forms of Capoeira practiced across Brazil. While there are distinct styles like Capoeira Regional and Capoeira Angola, different regions in Brazil have developed their unique interpretations of these forms over the years. |
| What background, training, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?
My background in Capoeira comes from a familial generation, starting with my father. I have over 50 years of uninterrupted practice in Capoeira and over 40 years of ministering the art. I am the sole founder of Associação de Capoeira Mandingueiros dos Palmares – also known as Capoeira MdP. It was founded in 6/7/1977 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. My time in the US has been dedicated to teaching Capoeira in Massachusetts and other states. The style of Capoeira we practice is more commonly known as Capoeira Contemporânea, following Capoeira Regional that was created by Manoel dos Reis Machado (Mestre Bimba). His student, Reimundo Cesar Alves de Almeida (Mestre Itapuã), is my Mestre. |
| Finish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…
…it’s as vital to me as the air I breathe. My sons share this dedication, valuing the legacy we carry. Together, as a Capoeira family, we are committed to spreading and expanding the art of Capoeira. |
