81 Working United to Make an Impact in Communities with Capoeira. Ft. Mestre Ferradura

Mestre Ferradura (@ferradura) has amazing work in person and online (check all the links below). He has been helping many people in Brazil, including the homeless, and hundreds of children from economically disadvantaged.

Mestre Ferradura is pedagogue, president of the Brazilian Institute of Capoeira-Education and director of the Project Brincadeira de Angola.

During this conversation with Mestre Ferradura, we talk a little about his Capoeira story, about how and why he put his work together, with many Capoeiristas around his city, focusing more on the person and Capoeira itself, without looking for Capoeira groups, no Capoeira styles, only Capoeira!

When we actually work united as a Capoeira community, we can really create a huge impact in our local communities, helping each other, and collaborating, forgetting about the group, Capoeira styles, and even Capoeira levels. I have seen it myself, and I can honestly tell you that Capoeira grows and helps so many people when we are actually together, not saying it in a social media post, but actually supporting and be there for each other!

Teaching classes always give me a sense of fulfillment. I teach Capoeira because I love with all my heart watching the progress of the craft, and love to see those smiles of satisfaction when students understand and get to do movements.

79 We Don’t Own Our Students and Spirituality in Capoeira

Hey… Let’s share your Capoeira Experience!… I want to learn from you, I want to learn from your Capoeira Experience!… Yes, it does not matter how long you have been doing Capoeira, contact me and let’s share with the community!

Now back to this episode, lol.

During all these years in Capoeira, I have seen -and if you have been around long enough, I am sure you have too, a lot of people, either, switching groups (like myself), switching supervision (like myself), or quitting Capoeira (not like myself lol)… But all this is for a reason, sometimes we just lose our north, or sometimes we lose motivation, or sometimes… We just don’t feel quite there, ya know?!

But once we find what where we want to go, and what we need to do (and sacrifice) to get where we want to be, we can find that group, or person that can guide us, or mentor us.

SPIRITUALITY: just a heads up here, when I talk about this subject, I am not referring to a religion, nor god(s). I am referring to a internal and deep connection within yourself. We all are spiritual being that are in this borrowed body for a limited time. As I have done myself, we can make that connection with that internal spirit with Capoeira, specifically with Capoeira music.

BONUS: I will bringing to the podcast, an guess that will have a lot of Capoeira knowledge about History, Ritual in Capoeira, and Music… Listen to this episode, and DM me any questions that you might have for this guest, either here or my personal IG: @harly_m

PEACE!! peace
