Mestre Jose Antonio Almeida and his son Mestre Poncianinho play a beautiful slow game of capoeira at our Batizado after party in Guanabara nightclub London. They are father and son, mestre and student. Mestre Jose Antonio is the founder of CDO Guaratingueta, a school renowned for producing excellent capoeiristas (think M Poncianinho, CM Casquinha, CM Pepeto etc). It's well worth a visit if you're ever in the Sao Paulo Area.
