Mestre Peixe’s MessageAfter come back from Brasil and after 3 weeks nonstop capoeira events in Rio and Bahia make me
think about how important capoeira is in other people’s lives and also in my life too! I witnessed
kids, teenagers and adults from many different backgrounds, groups and social status with no
hope in life triumph in capoeira. “Today I am some body! I study in university, I have a job, I sup-
port my family, I don’t steal anymore, I am accepted in Society, I am not shy anymore, and I can put
my head up and speak for myself because of capoeira and my masters / mentor.”
It was amazing to see the power of transformation, and to see this art form make the impossible
possible.
So capoeirista, students, never stop to say thanks to the people who have helped and guided you
at the time when you cannot see or understand the art of transformation.
I just want to said thanks to my mentor and Master “Mestre Boneco “, he helped me keeping my
capoeira passion alive to make my achievements come true in life !!!

Mestre Espiga Event 2012
Mestre Espiga event was an awesome event with big grading and malandro
roda as well.
Mestre Espiga opened his event with a malandro roda on the fi rst day, I really
like it because our concept is contagious and keeping the roots of capoeira
alive. After that 4 days’ workshop with the masters and the highlights of the
event was the studio been decorated into the favela of Rio, Cristo Redento and
Arcos Da Lapa by the kids and one of Espiga’s teacher, it created a very nice
atomsphere. The workshops from Mestre Tony Vargas was very nice and him
sang a new capoeira song and also Apache made a nice song as well.
Throughout the trip in Brasil, I heard many new beautiful capoeira songs.
The capoeira grading day was nice, kids and adults category, follow by a
beautiful performance from the students of Mestre Espiga.
