We are honoured to invite the community to three days of deep learning, connection, and celebration through Capoeira Angola, guided by our special guest: Mestre Jogo de Dentro.
This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from one of the most respected Mestres in the world of Capoeira Angola. Mestre Jogo de Dentro brings a lifetime of experience, profound knowledge, and an unwavering dedication to the traditions of this beautiful art form. His teachings have inspired generations and continue to preserve the roots of Capoeira Angola with authenticity and mandinga.
About Mestre Jogo de Dentro:
Jorge Egidio dos Santos began his journey in Capoeira Angola in 1982 at the Academia do Mestre João Pequeno de Pastinha, located in Forte Santo Antônio, Salvador – Bahia. He received the nickname Jogo de Dentro from Mestre João Grande and, in 1986, earned his first title as a teacher of Capoeira Angola. His commitment led him to teach at M. João Pequeno's academy and eventually found the international group Semente do Jogo de Angola.
On February 27, 1994, he was recognised as a Master of Capoeira Angola by Mestre João Pequeno. Today, his work spans continents, continuing to shape the legacy of this traditional art.
“A capoeira angola é a sua melhor companheira.”
“Capoeirista agressivo mostra que não tem técnica. No dia que você machucar alguém na roda, não peça desculpas. Você machucou porque quis. Se eu não quiser, eu vou parar o pé onde quiser e não bato. Capoeira é luta, mas hoje, a realidade é outra.”
Capoeira Angola is defined by its slower rhythm and the intricate, playful dialogue between two players – never violent, always with intent and awareness.
Join us for this special vivência – open to all who wish to connect with the roots of Capoeira Angola and learn from a living legend.
Stay tuned for registration details and the full program.
