About this listen

I'm so honored to have Mestre Pinga Fogo ( Gui Torres) from Benção Capoeira on the show today! He is my Capoeira instructor here in Austin. In this heart-warming conversation, Gui shared with us:

  • Why is Capoeia a healing movement practice?
  • Why did he choose to come to the States, and the challenges he overcame along the way
  • Differences between teaching Capoeira in Brazil vs in the US
  • Differences between teaching Capoeira to Adults vs to kids
  • What makes people stay in their capoeira journey
  • How has the meaning of Capoeira changed for him over time?
  • Some words for people who want to try out Capoeira
