Perception defines reality. Mine revolves around the details.

I am a capoeirista from Missouri. I educate myself, teach capoeira, look at cute internet bears, and play video games. I also sell food.

My name is Ang. Ask me anything if you are curious.

Iê viva meu mestre, camara!
This is my mestre, Mestre Barrão and myself at Batizado.

Iê viva meu mestre, camara!

This is my mestre, Mestre Barrão and myself at Batizado.

This is our street roda at Crown Center plaza in Kansas City.  We like to call them capoeira flash mobs :D The security guards walked up after a few minutes and told us to leave.  Ahh, the life of a capoeirista.

This past weekend was the Batizado for Axé Capoeira Kansas City.  A long weekend of 4 to 6 hour workshops followed by the capoeira ceremony, the event called Batizado (baptism).  If you deserve it, this is where a capoeirista can receive a promotion and a higher cordão.

I was surprised and excited to be up for promotion.  Here, I play with Professor Tigrão from Axé Capoeira Calgary for my azul (blue) cordão.  Just one rank shy of where I used to be before I moved away from Kansas City.
