Capoeira

I have been playing capoeira in Seattle since 1998. I took two months of classes with Prof. Eric Pirulito, and then later moved on to Eric Johnson (Contra Mestre Perere), with whom I have been studying since January 1999.

My capoeira experience

Capoeira Angola Palmares is my group. My comrades in arms, legs, and handstands.
Capoeira Angola Palmares NY is our sister group in NY, headed by Mestre Ombrinho.
There is also a Palmares group in Paris, which is kinda cool.

Capoeira philosophy

Contra Mestre Perere's column at the webzine Planet Capoeira.
One of the best explanations of capoeira strategy I've ever read, though it's about politics. From Slate.com.
