ABADA-Capoeira Brazilian Cultura Day and Jogos 2012

The Brazilian Cultura Day left the public amazed with the different shows performed by ABADA-Capoeira. Once again we brought a taste of the real roots of Afro-Brazilian culture to the Australian public. The performances were followed by second edition of the Capoeira Jogos in two categories. Congratulations to the winners and all participants that made the whole event more than a competition, but a way to bond and have fun doing what we do best, Capoeira! The message Cipo left to all students at the end was the most important, “Capoeira is like life, and you’ll be taken down a million times. The winner will be the one that learned to always stand up. A Capoeirista never give up, if you give up you aren’t a Capoeirista.”

The winners for category A (yellow/orange to orange/blue):
1st Filipino, 2nd Violeta, 3rd Fechado.
The winners for category B (raw to yellow):
1st Passarinha, 2nd Alternativo and 3rd Pantera.
Best on each cord were also rewarded: orange/blue: Filipino, orange: Violeta, yellow/orange: Canibal, yellow: Passarinha, yellow/raw: Florent and raw: Broto!

ABADA-Capoeira Melbourne Weekend

ABADA-Capoeira
 Melbourne Weekend

On the first weekend of June Graduado Cipo gathered with his students and flew to Melbourne to meet Instructor Flecha, he arrived in Australia 5 months ago and is developing a work with Capoeira in Melbourne.

The objective of the special weekend was to divulge the arrival of ABADA-Capoeira in Melbourne and it was a great success! The weekend was fulfilled with Capoeira rodas, performances and lots of fun. “When I and Rosinha arrived in Australia 7 years there was no ABADA Capoeira here, and we really know and value the importance of helping each other to unify and strength up the group as a family! That’s what ABADA-Capoeira is! A big family! Wherever you go, if ABADA is there you have a family and people looking after you!”, says Cipo.

Intructor Flecha is bringing with him all the latest ABADA-Capoeira techniques, music and Traditional dances such as Maculele, Jongo and Samba de Roda from Brazil. We are really happy and pleased to have him in Australia to help support and develop our so precious art Capoeira. He teaches on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8pm at AKA Studio, 130 Nicholson Street, East Brunswick and Fridays at 7pm at Fusion Studio, 478 Smith Smith Street, Fitzroy. For more information call 0406 248 702. Big thanks to everyone that participated and made it happen: Graduados Cipo, Rosinha and Bacuri, Instructor Flecha, the Sydney students: Filipino, Risadinha, Violeta and Passarinha; Melbourne students: Rapoza, Boomerangue, Muai and Chuva

ABADA-Capoeira Jogos Femininos 2012

The intention of this event is not to separate woman and men, but mainly to incentivize women to be better prepared. Since we started the female games the girls have been better prepared to participate in competitions like the Jogos Brasileiros, Jogos Mundiais and Zumbimba. Training involves various aspects, physical and technical.
The first Abadá-Capoeira Female Encounter and Games occurred from the 20-23rd of May 2010 at the Floresta Country Club, in Rio de Janeiro, in conjunction with a social campaign for the prevention of breast cancer. In 2011 the event was held at the same place from the 26-29 of May, with the theme of É tempo de mulher” meaning “Its Womens time”. `The competition was held at Theater Sérgio Porto, in Humaitá, Rio.

Capoeira School Program

Looking for something special for you school sports program?
Kids naturally love to run, jump, cartwheel, stand on their hands –
anything to keep active. It’s essential to their health and their
growth, and that’s exactly what Capoeira is about – promoting a healthy
lifestyle.
Capoeira burns calories, though kids students rarely see this
Brazillian Martial Art as exercise. It’s too much fun for that.
Capoeira is based on continuous, rhythmic movements that increase
strength, endurance, balance, flexibility and coordination.
Each session involves kicking, spinning and cartwheels. Music is also a
central part of the program – a great way to channel all that young
energy.

We have been teaching Capoeira to kids and adults for over 20 years,
the last seven years of which have been in Australia.
Since 2005, the ABADA Capoeira teaching methodology has been
introduced to over 30 Primary Schools and High Schools around the
country, as well as to universities like Sydney University, UNSW,
Macquarie University, and several Youth and Communities centres
and Dance Companies.

ABADA Capoeira wants to inspire children to become more physically
active, with the aim of improving children’s health and lifestyle,
which in turn improves their academic performance.
We would like to be a part of the school team and make the art of
Capoeira one of your sports classes for the next term.

ABADA Capoeira also offers Workshops and Performances as an alternative
cultural experience.
