RUPI, TEIMOSO AND ABELHA have arrived safely!
It's so great to have them here. Safely wrapped in several layers, they braved central Oxford during their first day here. In the evening, we all bundled into cars and went bowling. In addition to capoeira, football and dancing, they now seem to be better than us at this too...

Great news for this November...
The Trust are bringing three people from the Brazil project to England next month to take part in the 10th Abolicao Oxford Batizado. Professor Rupi - our teacher in Salvador - will arrive with two students, Teimoso and Abelia. This is the first time they've travelled and we're delighted to have them. Wooly hats and big smiles await their arrival...
Check out the clip from this year's Batizado at the project in Brazil. Abelia is the girl playing the first game.

Ola from Salvador...
The Trust are currently hosting a Brazil trip for UK capoeira students. We've been training with all of the wonderful kids at the project in Abaete and getting ready for the fourth Batizado, the annual celebration and changing of belts. We've also joined in the with the percussion and Afro-dance workshops and the lady in the ice-cream shop knows us all pretty well...

Big thanks to everyone who turned up to perform (Maculele grass skirts with no prior warning) and to the school for having us.

CAPOEIRA TRIP TO BRAZIL THIS JULY
Contra-Mestre Negao and the Trust are hosting an amazing trip to Salvador, Brazil this Summer.
If you're into Capoeira, regardless of your level, this is a great chance to visit and train in the place where it all began. There will be regular classes, rodas, music/percussion workshops and close involvement with our Capoeira project for the incredible kids of Abaeté.
If this doesn't tempt you, maybe the ocean, fresh fish, beachside hotel, samba rhythms and capirinhas will.
The trip runs from 13th - 27th July and there are still places going. Download full details here
Please get in touch if you have any questions -
