THE most historic event in the art of Capoeira in Asia swung last Saturday, June 1 at JCentre Mall, Mandaue City. With the presence of two Brazilian Capoeira Grand Masters from Rio de Janeiro, Mestre Cabeca and Mestre Torpedo, the festival marked history in Cebu City.

Presented by the Italian scooter brand, Vespa, and Havaianas, the event signified the baptism (Batizado) of new Capoeira members and the changing of cords (Troca de Corda) in which capoeiristas receive their new corda or belt signifying their advancement in
ranks.

The highlight of the event was the graduation (Formatura) of instructor Jensen Chow, the 1st Asian Capoeirista to receive the rank of “Professor.”

Capoeiristas have to play against a “mestre” (master) in order to show their advancement and earn the right to wear a corda. Cords indicate the level of a capoeirista.

The festival, which was a first in Cebu City, drew a very large crowd and awed the audience with the unique moves of the Cebuano capoeiristas.

It was a breath of fresh air for the audience who had not known of the Brazilian martial art.

Instructor Jensen heads the only Capoeira academy in Cebu City, Sinha Bahia de Capoeira Internacional.

He aims to bring Capoeira closer to the Cebuanos.

With the responsive support of Vespa and Havaianas, Sinha Bahia de Capoeira Internacional made the festival possible filled with excitement and good vibes. (PR)

BATIZADO Interno 26Feb2011

Last February 26, 2011 Sinha Bahia De Capoeira Internacional, which is the only Capoeira academy in Cebu City, conducted their BATIZADO INTERNO held at the Ayala Mall Active Zone. With their guest instructor in the person of Coach Guerreiro together with Instructor Jensen Chow and their Capoeira students, they performed such great Capoeira movements on the said event.

The Batizado Interno is a very important event for the Capoeira Academy. It is their annual event which they welcomed the new capoeira students and give appreciations to the improved students as well. Through the combination of the best skills and mastery of the two coaches, they provide one of a kind training program to their students as the preparation, which made it a very successful event.

The people in Ayala can’t help themselves to stop a while and witness the art of the Capoeira. You can see through their faces of how amaze they are on the stunts or movements performed by the capoeira students and most especially by the highly skilled instructors. You can also see through the faces of the students with their instructors on how they enjoyed their performances. The sounds or capoiera music makes their performance more alive and enjoyable.
