Capoeira in Seattle is growing day by day…I just started using twitter to communicate with the students at the Seattle Capoeira Center. Don’t forget to keep updated with our tweets… I just linked the website http://seattlecapoeiracenter.com with our twitter account @SeattleCapoeira… I want to keep connected with everyone. Make sure to visit us when you have the time. Let’s play some Capoeira in Seattle when you get the chance.

Mestre Nô and Mestre Lázaro

Mestre Lázaro is one of Mestre Nô’s most skilled students. He currently lives with his family, and teaches in Salvador, Bahia Brazil where he maintains the traditions of Capoeira Angola.

This is rare footage of Mestre Lázaro in his earlier days playing with the master of masters, Mestre Nô. We are fortunate at the Seattle Capoeira Center to have Mestre Lázaro in our community of teachers.

Classic techniques on display.

Capoeira Angola from Santa Catarina

Mestre Nô told me since I was young to travel to Santa Catarina to play Capoeira. He told me that I would learn so much more about Capoeira in other parts of the world. I always traveled to Brazil to play Capoeira in Rio, São Paulo, Bahia and etc… but the Capoeira in Florianopolis is wonderful. The beautiful island with Mestre Nô’s style was a dream come true for me.

In the late 1980s Mestre Nô and many great Mestres from Bahia went to Florianopolis, SC, to play and teach Capoeira. The energy the Mestres brought to the Island can still be felt there today.

Rare to find a video of Mestre Bobó playing Capoeira. Great to see the mindful Capoeira in action and captured on film.

Always check back for updates and posts

Peace
