Graduação Instrutor Guerreiro


Watch on Facebook

In October 2007, Mestre Marcelo was invited to come to China by a young italian guy who was leading a group of capoeiristas in Shanghai. In the four and a half years since, Diego “Guerreiro” Pappalardo has amazed and inspired all his students here with his drive, self-motivation and love for/commitment to capoeira. This year, at Capoeira Mandinga Shanghai’s 5th annual Batizado & Troca de Cordão, he received his blue belt and officially became Instrutor Guerreiro. Massive.

Just a reminder about the show at Cotton’s on Xinhua Lu (294 Xinhua Lu near Fanyu Lu) on Saturday at 3PM. Let’s have an awesome roda! Please wear your whites 🙂

On a sadder note, we have some capoeiristas leaving us next week, so there will be a few going-away rodas … Try and come to play with these folk one last time.

  • Antonio/Macaquinho – Monday, June 15th
  • Bos/Lagartixa – Wednesday, June 17th
  • Vincenzo/Suspiro – Thursday, June 18th

And don’t forget that Contra Mestre Espeto will be here in Shanghai for another workshop weekend on July 18th & 19th … details to

Performance on Saturday, June 13th

Hello everyone!

We will be performing at the LGBT Pride event on Saturday, June 13th at the Cotton’s on Xinhua Lu (294 Xinhua Lu, near Fanyu Lu).

They’re expecting around 500 people to attend, so it will be a great opportunity for us to promote capoeira … and it should also be lots of fun! We’re on at 3 – please wear your whites, bring your instruments and lots of energy. We can all go together to class at Zhongshan Park afterwards.

Please confirm with me that you can attend 🙂

Capoeira events are a great time and I would highly recommend attending if you can. Please let us know if you’re going so we can give them lots of notice to arrange housing 🙂

We’ll be having some dinners, some parties, a BBQ or two and not to mention enough roda’s to give you blisters. On your hands.

  • Thursday night 19:30 – 21:30 J-Ballet Studio

  • Monday night 20:30 – 22:00 Zhongguancun the Gate mall 11th floor easy dance studio

Chumbinho will bring some t-shirts, cd’s and other merchandise so bring some extra money along.
