Caxixi: is my pleasure to have you here, I follow you on social media you have a very nice work I like your capoeira and I think that you have
[00:01:40] : how is your story? How did you start in capoeira?
[00:01:45] : I can say that I have to path in capoeira, that is a formal and another informal, I am burned and raised in the central region of sao paulo, which is also called central periphery, and that was a well accustomed to capoeira, we had a mestre suasuna academy for example there in downtown sao paulo, we had a region of plaza republica, bela vista, santa cicilia, vila buarque there are many interconnected, they are neighborhoods in the downtown sao paulo, and there is also plaza republica, and always as a kid I was walking around those neighborhoods and that is the way I made some contacts with capoeira.
[00:05:40] : what was your age by then when you started?
[00:12:15] another question that I would like to ask you that have such a long-time doing capoeira, how do you think that capoeira can help our communities? Because my capoeira perspective, capoeira has so much to give, it is so so big, that can help a lot of people. How do you think capoeira can help communities?
[00:12:38] good, I can talk for myself, from my own experience concrete, I come also from communities, so I can say that I am an example and living proof that capoeira works, and it can help communities.
how do you think can help with something positive our communities, like projects, and stuff like that?
because the objective of our material is to reach and give out for those than do capoeira, and those that doesn’t do capoeira, so they can participate more in capoeira
very good!
so I think there is a lot of people that watch capoeira, mas they don’t know the strength that capoeira have, so that is pretty much my objective I want to do with all this, with the experience from all capoeiristas, like you that have a lot of experience and with those that don’t have a lot of experience, and how capoeira helps to transform them to better
very good! With capoeira you can work different aspect which can help humanity, like healthy people is better, so capoeira brings that, people with a good mind so through capoeira we can reach that faster, capoeira is perfect for the world.
[00:15:25] what do you think, because there is a lot of people that would like to make a living out of capoeira right? But culture is a good side of capoeira but to make a living you also must make money right, and what do you think about using capoeira as business to make it lucrative? Do you think that would help?
that’s part of the process, people must survive, no one would eat with thank you, or congrats, right?
*laugh* or hugs *laugh*
yeah, you won’t be able to live just with hugs, so yeah, I agree, people must be compensated, honored, make their money with the art, I really agree because today’s day what you can’t sell, you pay taxes for everything now *laugh* we have taxes for everything
the government wants to take their money first right! *laugh* and you will see how they can take more. So, I also think that we can do business with capoeira, because we can bring capoeira to those big companies like red bull, stuff like that, I think that also helps grows capoeira
for sure, that is right. Capoeira help in any area, and for sure it can help with capital as well, that is inevitable
[00:17:50] yeah, I believe that too, and how do you think capoeira is going there in Europe, there in Germany, do you think capoeira is growing over there?
yeah, capoeira continues developing in the entire world not just in Germany, not just in Europe, also in Asia, African countries and so on, this is how I believe, that capoeira goes with the timing, and it adapts with the time and helps the timing as well, and to provide, it will continues growing no matter where, the capoeira level in the entire world with no exceptions it’s already very very good! Any place in the world where you go, you can find very good capoeiristas
yeah, I really think that capoeira breaks all the barriers
that’s right!
I think this will be the last question, I think *laugh*
*laugh*
[00:24:11] good… Sometimes we are way too perfectionist, sometimes we want to do everything perfect, but this capoeira path is good because when preserve with the time when you couldn’t do that but you insisted, following instructions, continuing right, but you also have to be patience, capoeira teaches you to be patience, you have to have a little more patience, and one step at the time, respect time, the time will teach us too, so we don’t have how to quit, so we have to understand that, that we have to respect timing.
