Ep05 - Caçapa




Marcello Pietrantonio, baptized with the funky apelido (capoeira nickname) “Caçapa” (pronounced KA-SA-PA). Caçapa started Capoeira in 2000 under the guidance of Instrutor Canguru, and trained under Professor Gringo while he was head instructor of Bantus Capoeira Australia.
He received his yellow cord (Instrutor) from Mestre Pintor in 2008 at Grupo Bantus Capoeira Japão’s 2nd Batizado.

In 2003, he spent 4 months in Brazil with Mestre Pintor and the group in Belo Horizonte.
In Brazil, he was lucky enough to travel and play Capoeira in Rio, São Paulo, Vitoria, Belo Horizonte, and Salvador. From Brazil, Caçapa travelled and trained in Argentina, Chile, New York, Canada, Germany, Austria, and Japan.

    "Also, we stand in awe of his ability to ride a bike while carrying ALL of the instruments of a bateria."

    Ha ha, thanks.
    I don't have a car, so I have to balance the bateria and other capoeira stuff while riding my bike to class. It weights well over 30kg. Luckily the class isn't too far from my home.

    It's nice not having a car, but sometimes I wish we had our own academia! You know what I mean!?

    Thanks for the post, please come visit whenever you're in Tokyo.

    Vamos vadiar!
  • This is an incredible video. Excellent job putting it together. It flows really well and tells a fantastic story (and the kids are adorable).
