CAPOEIRA RODAS
Capoeira Masters, Teachers and high level players in the Roda. The game of capoeira (jogo de capoeira) is what a capoeirista trains for - this is where capoeira 'takes place'. Unlike other martial arts capoeira is not trained for use as self-defense or martial combat, we practice for the roda and in most schools these take place several times a week with perhaps one or two dedicated soley to the event. Videos speak louder than words so to see just what I mean... Click on the picture below to watch the clips or right-click to save to your hard disk.

Mestre Poncianinho Almeida and Mestre Espirro Mirim play capoeira at Contra Mestre Papa Leguas's Batizado in Cordao De Ouro Nottingham. Mestre Espirro is a real joker and a talented verbal dualist You cant make it out but at the foot of the berimbau he sets the scene, singing to Mestre Poncianinho that he's going to get him and nobody's going to be able to save him, not even his father. It's incredible to see what happens with these two masters enter the Roda. Thanks to CM Papa for letting us put this clip up! 2:18 secs 33,652 KB

Mestre Poncianinho and Claudio Angoleiro play a tasty game of Capoeira Angola. Full of mandinga and malicia, this jojo is for lovers of true capoeira only. Ripped (with express permission) from Mestre Espirro Mirim's DVD of Capoeirense 2006. This is but one of many fine games from this 3 day event in Fortaleza, Ceara...
