Just wanted to share one of the demos the Vancouver group did a couple months back. So enjoy!
No Class April 23, 2011
Reminder: No class this Saturday at April 23rd, 2011 because of the Easter weekend. Classes will resume Saturday April 30th, 2011.
So in the mean time:
O capoeira venceu!
He did it! Professor Barrãozinho won his fight at Nanaimo with a rear naked choke at 1:50 of the 3rd round.
It was the sickest and most exciting fight I have ever seen and my teacher did not disappoint. He straight up represented capoeira well in the ring, and proved that capoeira is a legitimate martial art! People will be talking about this fight for ages.
Much respect to Ken Tran, because he showed his own skills and was definitely a tough opponent.
But in the end, capoeira was victorious!
Stay tuned, as video of the fight will be posted on here. Add another viral video to the capoeira collection.
Congratulations to Axé Capoeira and Professor Barrãozinho!!!
Update: Here are the videos. But they aren’t the best quality. The fight is still exciting to watch even though the video quality isn’t the best.

Axé Capoeira: I’ll Make a Man Out of You
As soon as I saw this video, I had to share it.
A fellow capoeirista used her creative genes to create a video montage of clips from the Vancouver 2009 batizado dvd, and set the music to Disney Mulan’s “I’ll Make a Man Out of You”.
The brilliance of the video really captures how hard we train and all the hard work capoeiristas are capable of.
Enjoy!
