Episode 32 of The Capoeira Podcast. We take Joy out on some of LA’s Favorite Taco Spots and we get to know her journey.

My capoeira friend/peer Adam and I disect batizado and my formatura, why we hate bate papos, what we would want to see instead or how it could be improved, and our goals. This episode should have been updated months ago, but better late than never!

Old interview I found in the stacks of an old file folder. I went to Portland for a few days on vacation and reconnected with Morango, an advanced student from Capoeira Sao Salvador under Mestre Pedro Cruz

Happy New Year! Interview with Profesora Budinha. We talk about getting old, teaching class, how she found capoeira and her first batizado. I tried not to edit this as much because it flowed so well. Enjoy and have a great 2018.

This episode was recorded last month in my breakfast nook where we sat and pretty much just had a casual conversation about recent capoeira events and training and everything in general. Really flowed with Cafe.

Taped September 2016, Instra. Esperta interviews with Prof. Malandro about this life, how he found capoeira where he started with Capoeira Mandinga and then later decided to change to a Filhos de Bimba, a regional school.

Second part in my interview with Instrutor Cafe. We talk about his first angola roda, that one time he threw an event, the struggles of females and males, and we hear interviews from other capoeiristas on what makes for a good batizado! I also plug upcoming February events!

Taped in November, Instrutor Cafe and Instrutor Esperta have a discussion on what's makes a good event and whatever was on their minds at that moment.

Recorded late 2015/early 2016 with Profesor Guatambu from United Capoeira Association. We get to know him, his life, the making of DunDak and we even geek the shit out of Grey's Anatomy!

Going to a batizado out of town? Out of the state? Out of the country? From do's to don'ts. How to act, what to bring. Also, we'll hear tips from various capoeiristas and hear some clips from the Juneteenth Roda in Oakland, CA!
