Equipe Capoeira Brasileira was born in 2004 with the alliance of ex-Escola Brasileira de Capoeira teachers (such as Mestre Chumbinho, Mestre Peninha, Mestrando Ajanã, Mestre Gaguinho, Mestre Cardeal, Mestre Canario, Professora Smurfete, and many more). The group gets its name from the familly spirit that ties its founding members. They strive to put an emphasis on a safe training based on the foundations of contemporary capoeira : team spirit and cooperative help, friendship, discipline, perseverance, humility, respect of self and of others, confidence, etc. These teachings allows the capoeiristas to gradually develop a healthy spirit in a healthy body.
