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!
