That kid is driven and that kind of drive is very rare. Not everyone has it when they start out and there are plenty of famous Mestres who did not have this drive when they started training. Mestre Suassuna famously said that he did not even like Capoeira in the beginning. He simply did it because his doctor told him that he needed to do some kind of physical activity.
After some time, he gained the inspiration to train hard and before long he began teaching and had a school of his own.
I think this is much more common. It might be one year into training or it might be fifteen. It depends on the person. What are some things that a student can do to put themselves on the path to becoming a Mestre? The first thing that a student can do is to train as much as they can. Training is one of the most important things you will need to do on the path to mastery.
Train with your Mestre as much as you can and train at home as much as you can. Play as many people as you can and improve your abilities in the game of Capoeira. Spend time with these instruments, listen to CDs from old Mestres and learn how they played. This can be very difficult for some people, but persistence is key. Ask you teacher how you can practice instruments.
You might not own an atabaque, but you probably have a table. Read all the books that you can get your hands on. Some people will bring books to events, so if you see a book that looks interesting, grab it! Unfortunately Capoeira is behind on using technology to disseminate information. Most teachers still record their music and put them on CDs instead of online MP3 files.
Mestre Nenel is the son of Mestre Bimba, and author of the new book: Bimba. A Century of Capoeira Regional. Born in Salvador de Bahia on September 26, , where he grew up in the world of Capoeira, though it was when he was six years old that he ….
Mestre Bimba created eight training sequences, which he considered covered the basic fundamental moves of capoeira. These sequences served as a didactic tool, and thus help new capoeiristas to enter the roda and learn the art of the game. This contribution was revolutionary, so much so that nowadays capoeiristas from all over the world still ….
The Capoeira Antigua that Mestre Bimba learned from Mestre Bentinho was a folkloric capoeira that had lost much of its effectiveness in combat. At that time capoeira was heavily persecuted, considered a practice of criminals and rogues.
The melodie is of binary beat and the harmony is simple, although catchy. The kicks are executed while the capoeiristas keep swaying the body from one side to another. It's a fundamentally important part of capoeira. The negativa is a kick of defense and counter attack. The capoeirista refuses the body to the adversary's kick, falling back and, with the foot, catches the supporting foot of the other making him fall. The bat's flight consists of a jump with two feet to the adversary's chest, taking him down.
VERY STRONG Capoeira is so strong and authentic that it resists the try of folklorization and even the weakening that happens in some capoeira academies is not able to end its authenticity. On the contrary, its traditional masters are stubborn to teach their sons and most beloved friends, each within their own viewpoint defending this fight, in their academies that are run in place that are difficult to access and even in places lended by the public entities located in the outskirts of Salvador.
This fantastic black guys' ballet is made with lots of drive and cunning. And nobody knows its exact origin. The two great mestres that have died, Manoel dos Reis Machado, Bimba and Vicente Ferreira Pastinha, Pastinha disagreed about its origin. Bimba, who didn't agree with Pastinha, defended that capoeira had come about in the mills of the bahian bay area and Pastinha said that it came from Angola, so he named the capoeira he taught Capoeira de Angola and Bimba baptized his capoeira Regional.
The basic difference between the two schools is in the original kicks, since Regional takes advantage of the low and creeping game with mixture of other figths, while Angola uses high kicks and flourishes [Angola - low game, Regional - high game with mixture of other fights].
For the etnologist Waldeloir Rego, author if the socio-etnographical studt Capoeira Angola, "everything leads us to believe that capoeira was the invention of angolans that came here". There are many kicks to know: Tesoura is a kick to throw off balance. The capoeirista uses the legs as if these were open scissors. When the adversary reaches him he closes the legs and spins his body to take him down. Rasteira - a good capoeirista needs to know good and fast rasteiras. It's a traditional throw-down kick when the adversary is surprised and falls to the ground receiving then other kicks.
The capoeirista supports himself on the ground with two hands and catches the adversary. Martelo - this kick consists of a side kick trying to hit the adversary to his kidneys or face. It's a traumatizing kick and hurts when received in full. The capoeirista puts his hands on the ground and spins in the air, falling a few meters from the adversary. Rabo-de-arraia - another traditional kick, here the capoeirista puts the hands and one foot on the ground and spins the body quickly with one leg straightened, trying to hit the adversary in the face.
These are the main kicks of capoeira, but as this is a fight that is a fruit of its own informalism other kicks are always created and incorporated in every capoeira roda by its respective mestres. Banguela is an inside game, with a slow ginga and fast kicks. Cavalaria is a warning rhythm, when the capoeiristas were persecuted by the police and warned with this rhythm the presence of soldiers.
More recently mestres Bimba and Pastinha, both deceased. The most important living ones traveled through historic places with this reported, places which were stages to many fights and demonstrations of agility of capoeiristas.
Whereever they arrived, the rodas started with the berimbaus and pandeiros heating up the "play". He was recently teaching students in a special school with the help of one of his most experient student. Remembering his feats and bravery he told that one night when coming from a ball called "Baile da Jega" a police patrol intercepted him and asked for his documents.
They were fighting when there was a curfew sound at 21 hours. Then Cobrinha Verde put the two on the ground and took a pistol putting the rest on a run. Among the mestres he is one that knows the most tricks of attack and defense.
