That's one of my aims with this blog. But for those interested in attending the event and engaging personally with discussions around these issues, I'll be posting something soon about the event and inviting everyone. We already have people from different groups and lineages booked and it seems that we'll have many great discussions. Axé! Eurico Hey Vovô,

To do that each of us needs to communicate more , to sit down and enjoy some wise advice by the ancestors of Capoeira. We need to be together as many as we can. There is a lot to do : we shall speak about this at your event in Brisbane at the beginning of March. Do you understand ,Folks? On the first two weeks of March you should come to Cordao de Ouro Capoeira Festival and retreat in Gold Coast. We need to learn, we need to share what we have learnt ! ...and we will start to walk along the unknown pathway in front of us to play a kind of Capoeira for a spiritual life.

As every human being is unique, when one leads a group, that school will carry his/her singularities; whilst is also forged by the combination of its member's personalities as well. The reality today is that we have many good academies, I believe. Yet, the high competitive mindset amongst groups increases even more the technical level, and sometimes the knowledge about Capoeira as well. However, unfortunately despite becoming really good capoeiras, only a few of these academies are doing good with their techniques and knowledge. As you said, Capoeira is different today, as different are the challenges one must face with his/her art. Axé Vovô! Feliz Ano Novo! Eurico Oi Vovô,

But M.Suassuna asserts eventually that there is not a good Capoeira Academy ! Like other Metres do form both sides, Angola e Regional. I should say that there are no Capoeira academy as his own and of course ! But there are good academies also nowadays and necessarily they have to be different , according to our modern times. I'm pretty sure that there is someone who got the message and is taking the task to deliver the message to the future generations. When Mestre Suaasuna says: there is none". it sounds to me a bit postromantic and full of "saudade " of times gone with the wind. Yes Bahia is different today , Capoeira is different today, we capoeristas of 2010 are different: we are not facing the cruelty of the whip, but other problem are looming up > We have tp apply the "method" to the actual international situation situation .
