Hey, my nickname is "Maguelo" which means skinny, and I'm not going to tell my real name because I would be braking a capoeira rule. I'm from Brazil, Maceio/AL , since the first time that I saw capoeira, when I was only five years old, I wanted to practice capoeira, there was one capoeira school to every block in my city, but even though I never went to one of them, I was always playing soccer and never had time but then I came to the United States two years ago and at first it was all good and fun but then I started to miss Brazil a lot, when I was almost going back to Brazil I went to one of Mestre's show, at that moment I knew that I didn't need to go back to Brazil, I wanted to be part of the academy, but I lived to far away and couldn't come because I had no car., about 8 months ago I moved to near by international Drive and heard that the capoeira had moved near by too, so I went for it starting doing and never stopped up to today, the academy is great, the Mestre is very good, some times he pushes us to do more and I know that it is helping, so I'm very grateful. I go there every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I still have no car, I go and come back everyday by bus, that is to show how much I love capoeira, I don't know what I would do if I didn't go to Capoeira, most surely I would be back in Brazil. I'm only going to stop practicing capoeira whenever God takes me out of this world, and on my next life I'm sure that I will be a better "capoeira". So I thank God, all my family from the academy and to Mestre Lazaro to give me the opportunity to be part of the group "Capoeira Brazilian Pelourinho".
