Capoeira in India is still something
new. It started around 12 years with the first classes in Auroville
and solidified around 5 years with CDO Mumbai / Auroville Capoeira.
Since then, the number of addict grew with CDO presence in GOA, a
capoeira group active in Bangalore, recently some angola classes in
Mumbai and who knows where else. We are few ones in this mystic
country on the other side of the globe from Brazil but still
the passion reached us and is just starting to expand.
Two years ago, Ana came from the US to
live in Pune. Willing to share her knowledge and transmit her passion
she started offering weekly classes. Today the group counts around 13
adults, few kids and is
constantly growing.
For their first batizado they invited
the people from the Auroville Capoeira Group. Sam managed to free
himself and attempt the workshops prepared
the week of the 24th of July.
The beginning of the event was
paced by workshops from Kader (Capoeira Brazil Paris) and
Sam (Capoeira Auroville). The rest of the week was marked by the
arrival of Mestre Caxias (Abu Dabi), supporter of the event who lead
the last workshops and guided the batizado.
Surely the week was filled with sweat,
muscle sore, fun, laugh, friendship and of course....Capoeira.
The batizado happened on
the Saturday with the presence of many from CDO Mumbai and even
Instrutor Baba.
If you are around Pune, are capoeirista
or want to learn have no hesitation as the beautiful family of
Capoeira Pune is most likely to find a
place in your heart.
Thanks for your work Ana and thanks to
your group for this wonderful event.
Axé :)
