This is an ever-improving site so few things do slip by from time to time so apologies for missing out on few of the details (and on any errors!) Nonetheless, glad you liked what I wrote. I look forward to attending more of the group’s events!

OOOHHHH – and one more thing

Our group trains in Angola and Capoeira Contemporanea. Regional is also observed, but it ins’t our strongest dimension.

Thanks

I am writing to express my gratitude for a well written article that captured the wonderful moments of our batizado. Just wanted to quickly clarify a few things.

I moved to the US in 1989, but went to middle school and high school here before going to URI.
I started my first capoeira club at CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL in Providence RI.

Graduados (who wear back in our school) – are the advanced students. We are not trying to alter the traditions of capoeira. Rather we are trying to create some sub-traditions within our own group that will aid us in the process of sharing with our group members our mission statement and our goals for our group.

Joda — is in fact RODA. It is pronounced Joda, however.

I am not fully responsible for the work in VA. I am the supervisor. Selo is the responsible person. As I have a mestre (my instructor) who supervises my work, I supervise Selos who is now officially a MONITOR (an apprentice instructor).

One other thing that I would like to mention. Grupo Ondas’ capoeira curriculum is directly from from MANDINGUEIROS DOS PALMARES… which is a group a little over 30 years old, created by my instructor – mestre Chuvisco from Boston, MA (born in Minas Gerais, Brasil). In totally, we belong to a family that has almost 1000 members (or perhaps more).

Again – I am very impressed by the work you have done in this article. It was a lot of information to synthesize in a short period of time, and you did GREAT!!!!

Congrats.
