Welcome to my capoeira blog site!
Marionete is my capoeira name. I love playing capoeira.
Currently, I am training with a group led by Iuri Santos in Bloomington, Indiana. I used to train with Capoeira Malandragem in Tucson, Arizona.
Capoeira to me is not just a martial art. It is a style of living, a philosophy of life. It is about strength and flexibility, about endurance, and respect. We respect our mastres, and the capoeiristas we play with. We respect our instruments and the spirits. We respect our lineage, and we don't forget where we came from.
Capoeira, to me, is also a well of wisdom, a sky full of gems to be discovered. I am a beginning capoeirista, and always get excited about learning new tricks. I got disappointed at times knowing my limitations, but dicovering that I could go beyond was always a natural high!
So, here I am, ready to note down my life with capoeira, and share it with you.

Hi Marionete, my name is Paixao and I too am a capoeirista. I have been practicing for about 14 months now here in Dallas, Texas. I have recentky started a blog as a class assignment and I thought what better subject to blog about than Capoeira! It is really hard to find blogs on our art because not too many people know about it. So that is kinda the basis for my blog. I just wanted to drop a comment and tell you that it is nice to read about a fellow capoeirista! Feel free to comment on my blog and all ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Hi your blog is cool nice work keep on posting

Hi! I am a beginner in Capoeira. I started 2 months ago and got hooked to it right away. It is true, capoeira is really a lifestyle. It entails being passionate about the art and building relationships with your fellow capoeirista. Anyway, nice blogs you have here. Hope to read more about your capoeira write-ups. btw, i am joan from the Philippines.
