The Capoeira Podcast

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!

After 7 months, finally a new episode! Taped in late January with Instructora Cenoura from RDA Capoeira.

Taped in early December we interviewed Profesor Martel from ASCAB Capoeira in Philadelphia, PA. Sorry for the lag in episodes. WE'RE BACK, BITCHES

We cover events for late November, the Los Angeles CDO Batizado, and an interview with my good friend Rez AKA Monitor Bode from SFV Capoeira Batuque about his journey through 10 years of capoeira and we also bury some 6 year-old beef from 2009.

In this episode, I plug events for late October to November. We hear clips from CDO Los Angeles's Fundraiser and we talk to Santo Riva, a capoeirista and now physical therapist about training and the benefits of flexibility and stretching. We apologize for the possible lack of quality of audio. We tried to fix it as much as we could. http://www.victoryperformancept.com

The Capoeira Podcast is officially 1! Monitora Esperta plugs upcoming events in October, covers Capoeira Brasil LA's batizado from September, and talks to her good friend Madingiera from Volta Miuda in Salt Lake City, Utah all from her car about whether or not capoeira can be casual.

In this episode, Monitor Diesel and I catch up and talk about the batizado and how crosstraining has helped us in capoeira.

What happens when you daydrink on a Monday? You walk into a sliding glass door. But before, you record a conversation with our friend Luis (Pengium) about his journey on finding a school that fits. Explicit.

In episode 14, a very candid conversation with Contre-Mestre Xingu about his life, starting the first school in the San Fernando Valley, and what he hopes for in the future for the community of capoeira. We apologize of the audio of this interview, please turn down your volume once the interview with Xingu starts up.

Have you ever said outloud, "Man, I really need to practice music." and you don't? Tips on how to train music and a chance to win some capoeira swag!

In the second part, we're joined by Profesora Xochi, Profesora Minha Velha, and Monitora Kiyana and we talk about pregnancy changes and capoeira. Our longest episode to date clocking out at a little more than an hour.
