ABADA Capoeira

ABADA Capoeira was established by Mestre CAMISA in 1988 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The philosophy of ABADA-CAPOEIRA is to preserve and promote the richness of capoeira on several levels.

Mestre Camisa sees capoeira as a valuable cultural and social source that incorporates several elements that he believes will contribute to the formation of human and ethnic values.

In keeping his focus in the formation of a future capoeira teacher and preparing all capoeiristas to be a positive influence in our society, Mestre Camisa is committed to:

• bring capoeira to schools, universities, clubs, and community centers.
• protect nature and the environment through the teaching of capoeira.
• promote social integration.
• preserve the Brazilian culture and the Afro-Brazilian roots.
• to elevate the name of capoeira by making the society aware that capoeira as a way of life, prepares the individual spiritually, emotionally, and physically to the many challenge that one faces everyday.
