And once it's considered a public space, it causes less trouble with HRECs. More than about the results, I'm curious too to see what sort of issues capoeiristas from different countries will bring up, so that we can deal with them within our community. If we can spot what political and cultural forces are causing the practitioners' struggle within the practice, and how they work, it's likely that we'll understand better how to use Capoeira as a social inclusive tool. As for your help, you're more than welcomed. As a researcher and a capoeira, I'm sure your comments will be spot on. You can also indicate issues you find relevant for posts. And finally, I'm sure all the readers would be interested in reading about your research on Capoeira. How about writing a summary of it as a post? Or maybe a narrative of your difficulties approaching Capoeira within the western academia, also revealing your findings. How does that sounds to you? Looking forward in hearing from you. Axé!

I am very curious about the results of your research. I am glad to see that there is coming more and more research and interest on the social inclusion etc. of capoeira, because when I did my research in 2008 on capoeira(efffect of capoeira on violence and poverty) a lot of people were (and still are) very skeptical on capoeira and its effects. It was for me even impossible to do research about the differences and resemblances between 'Brazilian' capoeira and 'European' capoeira because capoeira was just a sport according to my professors. Moreover, there is hardly any research, and little is known about the side-effects of capoeira. Most scientist see capoeira just as a sport. Therefore it is absolute great that you started this blog and, started questioning and researching on the issues of education, social inclusion, intercultural learning, and Capoeira philosophy. If you need some help, count me in! I will read your blog with a lot of interest. Boa sorte! Marrit(tres pratos) (the Netherlands) Dear Eurico,
