Fighting to the sound of Brazilian Music in Richmond

This was exciting and we are so thankful when Daniele Santos, a writer from The Source newspaper decided to do a featured article on capoeira.

You should be able to pick up a local copy of the article at your local public library.

Ms. and Mr. Vancouver Pageant

Awesome video of the time I judged beauty pageant contestants learning martial arts for Vancouver Television.

They had 10 minutes to practice a martial arts style and then perform it in front of the judges. Whoever displayed the martial art with the most confidence wins the challenge.

Watch the video below.

Spoiler alert………….O Capoeira vencer!
