avatarBorn like a “tiger” (1986) and joking apart got the apelido “gata”(cat). Moved to Shanghai on November 2008, this day twelvemonth started training a capoeira in Capoeira Mandinga Shanghai. Inspite of Asian studies major and Chinese, her heart belongs to Brazil and everything what related to its history and traditions, especially capoeira and capoeira culture. Also the big interest is development and improvement to take photos with analog camera of our great capoeira shows.

From Gata with Love

Capoeira Mandinga Shanghai Batizado 2010My lovely capoeiristas!!

Thank you so much to be with me and appear in such a right moment of my life in China. Capoeira is like life philosophy which actually doesnt teach you what to do but leads you somehow into a right way.

And even though we dont know what is right or wrong way capoeira let me and us enjoy every moment with music and rhytm.

Answering on our dear contra mestre Cipo’s question what capoeira is for me us, I can say that its all about people and beautiful spirit. So, thanks to all people of our group, they supported me so much. Special appreciation our personal italian capoeira teacher Diego and capoeira guru Mandinga Cipo!

Enjoy of massive batizado week!!!
Love you!!!

Salve.

Miss train but not roda…

Kunshan capoeira trip. Should be at 9am, but train had not been waiting for me.

Even though it started later for me, I did not miss the main thing – RODA.

Special roda. Our strong team of capoeira beginners got the light green belts.

Open air, smell of green grass and genius capoeristas made this trip very cool.

Salve!!!
