Instrutor 45 and friends - Video

Capoeira takes you many places, such as across town for another teacher's roda, to across the ocean for batizados and encounters such as Vadeia Mundo Vadeia in Gent, Belgium. It is on these trips, shows, and everyday training that we make friends who become a part of our capoeira lives and history.

So take a look at the collection of pictures below to see just some of the people that have been a part of Instrutor 45's capoeira journey.
