Biography:
My start in Capoeira dates back to 1998, under the guidance of Mestre Chocolate. From the very beginning, I focused all my energy and effort on spreading this discipline in Granada, dedicating my work and constantly training under my teacher's supervision.
Back then, making Capoeira known was a major challenge, as there was barely any information available or places to practice. Over the years, I have had the fortune of learning from my Mestre and many other great mestres, contramestres, and professors, both nationally and internationally, by attending numerous gatherings and events.
In addition to organizing my own workshops, demonstrations, and events in Granada, I have collaborated with various NGOs and associations in the province. For more than 25 years, and currently as a Contramestre, I have been carrying out my teaching work in gyms across Granada, where great capoeiristas have emerged—many of whom continue to train and teach to this day.
