Salve Capoeira!

In 2008 Ricardo was promoted to Contre Mestre by Mestre Trator! We would like to congratulate him on his ongoing involvement in capoeira in the Greater Recife area, his work with youth in the community of Igarassu, and his jogo that have earned him this cordao!

Last year we celebrated the inauguration of our academy in Igarassu in June, shortly after that we lost a camarada on July, 27th, 2007. In Andre’s memory a documentary about Canoa Grande will be screening in Chicago on July 27, 2008. Andre Ninja will always be in our memory!

Axe, camarada!
