"What is Capoeira for me?  Capoeira is what I am.
It is my life philosophy. Through the art of Capoeira,
I have learned about life and freedom. Because of Capoeira, I stay in contact with my ancestors
and my culture. It keeps my body and mind healthy
and gives me a strong connection with my spirit so
that I am able to enjoy every moment of what Life has
to offer me. Capoeira has given me such tremendous respect for Life and has kept me focused
in my journey to be a better human being."
