Abolicao Oxford Capoeira Batizado 2012 - Roda

Capoeira Trip to United Kingdom

Let me take this opportunity to introduce Capoeira to you.  Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music, and is sometimes referred to as a game. It was developed in Brazilmainly by African descendants with native Brazilian influences, probably beginning in the 16th century. I have been part of capoeira for almost 9 years and I am currently the instructor of CPUT Capoeira society which is under the supervision of Abolicao Oxford Capoeira - Contra Mestre Luis Negao which was established 2012 in association with a CPUT community initiative, Arts and Culture.

Capoeira helps individuals to become physically active and learn important life skills about teamwork, leadership and discipline, and skill development and it has become a very important part of my life, I have not only become student of capoeira, but I have also taken on the responsibility of continuing the classes and I have created a valuable creative outlet for members of my community, and a self-sustained group. It has become not only a source of sport and exercise, but also a means to greater personal development and sociability. Capoeira continues to keep young people busy after school, and has opened a door into the wider world as a tool for a better life for all. 

I have been invited to attend the13th Anniversary of Abolicao Oxford Capoeira in United Kingdom and form part of the 13th Anniversary were they will be training with different masters and professors of capoeira around worldwide. On return to South Africa I will share these skills with the other members of Abolicao South Africa. I will produce a report, documenting with photographs and narratives this skill sharing with the new and upcoming group members. This will contribute to our ongoing work and project sustainability, and the education projects. I would like to extend my sincere thanks for your time to read mycampaign trip project
