Moving to Kangding Lu
Dear camaras,
Dear all,
After 18 months of great capoeira classes, in the cold and in the hot, our Gym in Zhongshan Park will close for ever next Friday 31st of July. It will be demolished for the Expo2010.
We have found a temporary place for our classes during the month of August!
It’s an amazing room in 1147 Kangding Rd., by Wuning Rd. (15minutes walking from Jing’An Temple)
We will keep our usual schedule. I’ll let you know further details soon.
Thank you Princesa for finding the precious contact and thank you Nico, Bolacha and Biscoito for checking the venue.
THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST: WE SHOULD KEEP LOOKING FOR A GYM/VENUE TO BE USED FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS!
The best way to help is to call or to personally go to see the gym you have found. If there’s availability and you think that the place is ok, let us know ASAP.
Thank you for your proactive collaboration!
New teachers!
Oi camaras!
Two amazing capoeiristas from Capoeira Mandinga Oakland, Instrutora Bolacha and her brother Biscoito, will be in Shanghai until the 30th of September!
It’s a great opportunity for all of us to improve our Mandinga style and learn new moves.
Axé!
Well done CM Espeto!

Thank you all for the great participation to this workshop!
Your energy has been amazing and CM Espeto, Cocada and Cobra had a lot of fun.
We are lucky to have such a friend like CM Espeto.
– Guerreiro
Whatever the conditions – whether humidity, sweat, hard floors, changing of training rooms, it is a privilege to have Espeto work his magic when delivering the workshop. Something for everyone – techniques, music and most importantly fun!
Welcome you back anytime and with more of your Osaka camaras! Obrigado!

It’s always a pleasure to have espeto in shanghai, and it was great to have cocada and cobra here too!
I hope they all come back soon.– Dave “Trombada”
Again muitos obrigados for this workshop, it always a pleasure to have such great capoeiristas with us !
Massive Axé– Virtual
It was an absolute pleasure to attend this workshop with CM Espeto and his awesome students Cocada and Cobra. I had a lot of fun, but most importantly I learned a lot from Espeto, both in terms of movements and the way to approach learning difficult or new ones. I am officially a fan of Forca de Arte and will make it a point to visit them some time next year and train with them some more. Thank you so much CM Espeto for coming over and imparting your knowledge, but also for the amazing attitude, patience and energy you brought! Thank you Cocada and Cobra for coming over and playing your beautiful games with us!
Diego, thanks a lot for bringing CM Espeto, organizing the event and in general for making all these wonderful experiences happen for us. You’re a genuine role model to us all.
Axe!
