What is Capoeira in my point of view?                              
 
Capoeira is a kind of fight, it's a dance , it's an art.
Capoeira is poetry in body expression.
Capoeira is Brazil's history, it's culture, it's folklore.
Capoeira is my race, is my joy, is my sadness.
Capoeira is the air I breathe, it's my life philosophy

In Porto, he participated in a capoeira contest of Lagoa da Saudade II which belongs to ASCAB, and won second place in the male solo. In California, he had the opportunity to meet and see many different mestres and capoeira styles. In ASCAB, he started capoeira with Mestre Doutor and Mestre Bandeira.
